Default s13 coilovers

trying to decide which coilovers i want to use on my upcoming s13, and i've narrowed it down to a couple choices:

Tein Flex (with the little EDFC gimmick)
Tein HA
Jic FLT-A2

car is going to be daily driven with occasional autox / drift action. thoughts? opinions? maybe a setup i should look at that isn't mentioned above? hookers?

are the flex still capable of taking road race abuse? i know they might not be "the best" but will they handle drift and road courses?

flex's dont have the spring rate or damping for competition if you want to be competitive.

flt a2's are great 8/6 stock which are good for lots of minor competition and drift competition, the same goes for a TEIN HE. the flt a2 is a little bit higher quality but the tein's are by far the best for the money

you can also get flt a2s in 10/8 which is like hello and welcome to you dont want to drive this onthe street through los angeles in down town or chicago, you will die ahha

honestly, for occasionsl stuffs like autox and what not flexs will do fine, i agree with john they have a nice valveing and spring matching

tein he's if you want to raise the bet

flt a2s are wonderful but many more moneys ( like 600 worth more moneys)

flex is king of street

guess i'll have to just ride in the car with john to figure it out and all.. seems like its almost more of a personal preference for the type of generalization i'd be doing
