james, I have used 2 sets of both HKS Hyper-D and HKS Hypermax before. Frankly, they are good but very noisy (due to their pillowball mount) but they are definately good if you can bear the noise. I've also used Ohlins and is too hard IMO for streets. Perhaps is the series.

So far one of the best I tried was CSL Japan (all rounder), and also Tein Type-Flex (all rounder yet very quiet). Now I am back to stock suspension and it sucks..zzz.

I drive a lot of estate hill road and winding trunk road (Tampin-Gemas-Segamat) during weekend as my in-laws are in small town out of KL hence my defination of good is for that purposes and not really track. Hope I helped to answer your question.

Others discussed by the rest I can't comment as I have no experience using them.

Hope this helps a bit to your questions.

I'm on Tein Type Flex now for my E9!!! When i 1stly install it with the wrong setting, it bounce like fcuk and damn kao stiff!!! Not to mention my wife, gal frens n frens comments, myself almost fainted inside the car whenever i drive my beloved car!!! Feel like vomiting everytime I'm driving it!!! Sigh~

But once i get the right set up and the right hardness of the suspension, Mmmm... NICE!!! Hahaha... But still trying out another set up soon...

Where & how to setting type Flex? pls advise

 

[supernatural]

bro toozmok,

TEIN Super Street is not for perfomance or winding driving.
i'm using TEIN HR hi/lo soft/hard 21step.
i used to set at step 20 only and it's damn hard.
whay i say that? coz i set '2 fingers' at back wheel arch when the car empty and still '2 fingers' when 6 adult passenger get into the car. still the same height. the bad things come when i drive with 6 person i heard ' oiiii tolong la kasi lembut sket ko punye adj. keras nk mam*$& ni.. melantun2 kita orang kt belakang'.

back to my home i reset to step 18 and it's reasonable to use until my preg and i reset again to step 1 yet still stiff but my wife doesn't complain.

so far im using TEIN for more than 2 years still okey. perfomance very good.
not using PB just and helper spring together with coilover.
and yes u can attach EDFC for certain model to adjust damping force from inside.

HKS Hypermax good as well..
really stiff too.

maybe this visual can help you about TEIN dampers.
and you can see where the TEIN damper version zone.

*im not a LanEvo driver.
just driving Proton Wira onli
