I live in San Diego, but my drive to work is filled with potholes and road imperfections. With that said, I have ZERO complaints with my Tein Flex set-up. I'm a believer now!
It got to the point where I got used to the spring rates that came with the Flex (7k/6k, 392,336) so I just installed stiffer front springs (9k, 504#) to reduce some unwanted body-roll. Keep in mind my car is super-slammed with 13inch Rota RBs and there is still plenty of suspension travel. I have YET to bottom out. The only thing negative I can say is that speed bumbs taller then 3 inches WILL scrape the muffler,frame,ect. But I stay away from strip malls anyways so its hardly a concern for me.
I've also ridden/driven various cars with stiffer springs rate without any problems. Its all about the shocks baby. My old set-up of AGX/Tein springs was OK, but was too under dampened, causing it to bounce everywhere. Its a night and day with quality shocks like Koni or Teins. The old adage of "You get what you pay for" applies.

This was before the fender-roll where the tire would rub onto the fender, even with almost 2 inches of fender gap! Which prompted me to get stiffer springs. I'll post pics of the fender roll later but after I got the fender rolled Bill Wilner and I went around the block for a test-drive and I intentionally went over dips faster and steered TOWARDS potholes. The suspension sucked them all up nicely. Highly reccomended.[/img]
