I run them on my JKU with around 3.5" of gained height over stock. I found the ride stuff to begin with which is quite different from everyone else. Then when I installed a rear bar and tyre carrier they started carrying some weight and now all good.

IIRC there were some significant business changes in the company that produced the Flexi coils. I believe the guy responsible for the actual Flexi springs left and is now running his own company.

Has it changed the actual product .... no idea.

His name is Shane. The springs are now sold through a few other places. My understanding is he promised the world with shock absorbers and they continuously failed. Massive warranty cost and went broke and sold the name and possibly some of the business.

Reasonably well documented on patrol 4x4. His Springs used to be extremely popular but cop criticism on patrol 4x4.

The idea of variable rate long flexi Springs is very good but he certainly wasn't the first and didn't perfect it.

He claimed they were some fancy steel or had some fancy treatment.

I should have his phone number if anyone wants it.

I bought his Springs when the company was closing for half price. At $700 there are probably many better options out there. At $350 I am very happy. Have not sagged with a crd, bullbar and winch.

So owned by 4wd supacentre. I would speculate quality has probably gone downhill. Not exactly known for high quality products.
