Tein coilovers edfc, has anyone done it?

Hi guys,

Im still in my quest for finding the right suspension for my car.

Has anyone installed tein super street (or any other edfc compatible coil) with edfc active?

Would like to know how you went about running the wires and how comfortable the ride is.

Cheers

I have non-EDFC teins. Why EDFC?

I like the idea of having on the go adjustability, which ones do you have and how would you rate the comfort?

I bought for super street damper set with sway bars for $2700. I find there great and it only takes 5 minute to get out and adjust the dampers. 9/10 I've got it set just right for me. Dads GTS has MRC and he never uses it. I reckon it's been turn on 2-3 times in 4 years.

This will largely depend on the spring rates you choose.

Pretty sure Tein only offer 9/7s which I think are abit soft but I got the dampers nice n stiff. 12 clicks out of 16 I think

Is this on a ve? Becuase if the adjustment is on the top of the strut i dont think you can get to the rear sets?

Of course it's on my VE otherwise I wouldn't be give you advice. The front is super easy to get to, it's on top of the struts in the engine bay. The rear involed pulling the boot carpet out (my boots always empty so 5 seconds) to access the two holes Tein tell you to dril so you can access the adjusters. The rear would take 3-5 minutes max if your boots empty.

Fitted a set of Monoflex with EDFC to a VE Wagon 6.0L, had big dramas. Not sure if fixed by now but had to send the whole kit back to Fulcrum twice.
