Agreed, the EDFC is useless, on track, and I don't have that on the car. I also concur, there are several setups out there where could have equal results to the Flex. I wanted my points to be, the importance of setting them up properly, and knowing how to properly adjust at the track to compensate for conditions. As long as the unit is well built, it will survive daily duties pretty easily.

 

So why other than you can access the front adjustment knob easily makes the edfc useless? I would think that being able to at least change the rear without pulling a bunch of interior parts apart would be beneficial.

People remove the undertray to save time when doing work, so why not save time removing rear panels/clips? Just speculation because I am thinking about getting the edfc...

 

Exactly, the edfc ADJUSTS dampening by the push of a button. If you don't mind changing the dampening rates via turning a knob then don't buy it. I personally rather not waste my time turning knobs to adjust the rates of the shocks and find it more convenient to change them via the cockpit.

 

other than the obvious, alignment, spring and dampning what else is there to adjust.

The reason why I ask is that I have the TEIN flex w/edfc, they were on the car when I bought it. I got them agressive street aligned and the car understeers terribly. Other than the coil-overs the suspension is stock. I do have some worn tires but I find it hard to believe they are 100% of the problem.

 

Sway bar stiffness, center of gravity, front to rear weight balancing, tire width & stiffness, the suspension geometry itself....lots of stuff =)

 

How about strut bar options with the edfc.

I saw that Tein just relseased their new strut bars saying that they are the only ones that will work with the edfc....

What bars are people using with the edfc?

 

I'm using the stock bar. No fitment problems to speak of.

 

yea it looks like the dc sports will have enough clearance....

 

certainly no issue with Cusco braces - we've used all of them on EDFC equipped cars without issue

 

As people have been talking about the Tein Flex having competitors... what are they?

Can we mention specific models that would be on-par with the Flex model for track driving?

 

dont mean to re bump this but with the EDFC unit do the motors burn out when adjusting it? what is the life cycle of this? is it durable?
im taking about the adjusting of the supspension via the EDFC

 

been driving and adjusting my edfc for over 20,000 miles...no problems...

 

never a big tein fan, and EDFC is ez to broke like you prob kno.. inst of worrie it mind have probelm later on, why not buy the hks rs or something like that..?

 

Mine didn't seem "ez to broke". So far it has lasted 30,000+ miles. I bet you did awesome in English!
