Product Overview
TEIN Flex Z Coilovers for Toyota C-HR
Transform the suspension of your Toyota C-HR with the TEIN Flex Z Coilover Kit VSTE0-C1AA3.
TEIN FLEX Z is designed to deliver an excellent balance between sporty handling, adjustable ride height and everyday ride comfort. Rather than simply fitting stiffer lowering springs, FLEX Z replaces the vehicle’s dampers and springs with a matched adjustable suspension system.
For C-HR owners looking to reduce arch gap, sharpen handling and create a more purposeful stance while retaining good road manners, FLEX Z is an excellent upgrade.
16-Level Adjustable Damping
FLEX Z features 16-stage damping force adjustment, allowing the driver to alter compression and rebound characteristics together.
This allows the suspension to be set softer for everyday road driving or progressively firmer when greater body control and sharper response are required.
Full-Length Ride Height Adjustment
TEIN uses a full-length ride-height adjustment system that changes the overall damper length rather than relying solely on spring preload.
This allows ride height to be altered with minimal effect on usable damper stroke, helping retain ride comfort and suspension performance even when the vehicle is lowered.
Twin-Tube Damper Construction
The FLEX Z uses TEIN’s twin-tube damper design.
Twin-tube construction allows generous suspension stroke while operating at relatively low gas pressure, helping the suspension respond smoothly to uneven UK road surfaces.
The result is a suspension setup capable of providing a compliant ride at lower speeds while improving stability and body control during faster driving.
Designed for Street Performance
TEIN specifically developed FLEX Z as a road-orientated adjustable coilover system.
Compared with the standard C-HR suspension, the system can help reduce:
- Excessive body roll
- Floating or unsettled suspension movement
- Wheel-arch gap
- Slow suspension response
- Excessive pitch during acceleration and braking
At the same time, the adjustable damping gives the owner substantially more control over how the vehicle feels.
EDFC Compatible
The kit is compatible with the TEIN EDFC electronic damping force controller system where applicable.
TEIN specifically recommends EDFC for this C-HR application because access to the damping adjusters can be difficult once installed.
Please note that EDFC components are normally purchased separately unless specifically stated otherwise.
