Product Description

The Tein VSE18-C1SA4-C Flex Z is a purpose-built coilover kit for the 2008-2015 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X (CZ4A), covering both GSR and RS trim levels. With a 504 lbs/in front and 448 lbs/in rear spring rate, 16-way damping adjustment, and front camber-adjustable pillowball upper mounts, this kit is tuned to complement the Evo X's AWD platform and deliver meaningful improvements in stance, cornering response, and driver feedback for street and light track use.

Built in Yokohama, Japan with twin-tube construction and Tein's sealed damper structure, the Flex Z provides long-term reliability at a competitive price point. EDFC installation on the Evo X requires the specific EDK05-12140 motor kit and EDK06-K4474 front strut extension kit - standard EDFC motor kits are not compatible. Professional installation and wheel alignment are recommended after fitment.
