People rate the Meister-r's because they are cheaper than Tein's imo.

I use Tein because I know they last so well & are top quality.

Flex are quite 'crashy' for uk roads but great on track.

In my experience the longer the length of the shock body the better the ride
quality, but you get less control than a shorter bodied shock.

Its nothing to do with them being cheaper, there far superior to the teins
In your opinion?
