Smile Finally got my Tein CS/Tein EDFC/Tanabe exhaust installed!!

Today I picked up my car from the Infiniti dealership (yes, Infiniti... they provided me with way better service than Lexus ever has.. at least here in El Paso). They installed the Tein CS, the Tein EDFC controller and the Tanabe exhaust. They even washed the car way better than Lexus ever has... too bad I caught a freakin' rainstorm when I was 3 miles away from my house and the car is dirty Anyway, here are some crappy pics of the car with the Tein CS on!!!

I also got my Auto Couture wheels today, but couldn't get them installed because they forgot to send me the lug nuts and Discount Tire was already closed when I went to buy them

I like my cars to have things "out of sight", so I decided to hide my EDFC. Here are some pics...

Very nice! Seems like the edfc sits pretty nicely in the ash tray. The green lights also match the car's interior button lights I would assume?

It's a set of 4 motors that mount on the Tein dampening adjustment ****. You can adjust the dampening using the controller in the vehicle. It's great for having multiple settings (track setting, daily driving comfort setting, middle of the road setting, etc etc). It's not something everyone needs, but definitely nice to have to make sure you get the ride quality/handling you want at any given time. A nice toy to have if you're getting Tein coilovers (a few other brands also have their motorized adjustment tool for their specific application)

Any feedback on the EDFC? How soft is soft and how hard is good? What is the range of adjustment over stock feel?
