The Tein VSR84-C1SA4-C Flex Z is a complete coilover kit for the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution VII, VIII, VIII MR, IX, IX MR, and Evolution Wagon (CT9A/CT9W), covering all GSR and RS trim levels in AWD configuration.

Built in Yokohama, Japan with twin-tube construction and Tein's sealed damper structure, the Flex Z is a direct plug-and-play install across all CT9A/CT9W Evo variants.
