coilovers and edfc's
looking for options for coilovers that are compatable with some sort of electronic damper controller but having no luck, any help is appriciated
there no point real point for the controller... every one i know that have it used it like 3 time and its just there...
im on coilovers now with full track setting and only changed it once to make it stiffer thats it lol

...and HKS
Still, remotely adjustable damping doesn't really mean as much if the dampers themselves aren't very good! Bear in mind I've only ridden in a Civic with them but I was not impressed with the performance of the Teins...since it adjusts only damping, you're basically going to find the one setting that works best and never touch them again.
The adjustment only helps if the dampers are dynamic to begin with (i.e. the Ohlins on my buddy's S60R, or any Audi with MRC), where the change in setting changes how the damper reacts altogether. Even with those systems, because the spring rate doesn't change, the effect is still noticeable but when running full soft or full hard, the damping is going to be over/under damped for the spring rate....

reason i really want it, with my work i have the potential to get moved to a city where the roads can vary between good and abosolute crap... so being able to soften up the suspension on the fly is useful...
i like a stiff suspension but its no good when the roads u drive on are comparable to a wash board

My bad.. On here
http://www.jdmconcept.com.au/index.p...&mid=3&cid=143
They have the TEAS controller listed as a CY4A part. But then continue to say its only compatiable with pro-5 and pro-7 tanabe coilovers, not the GF coilovers.
Wether they make pro-5 or pro-7's for the RA, im not to sure dude.
