Default EDFC - Where did you mount yours?

Hello.

I'm looking at picking up an EDFC unit for my 2013 IS F. http://www.tein.com/products/edfc_active_pro.html

Does anyone have this unit? If so, a couple questions for you.

1) Where did you mount it?
2) Do you like it?

Thanks!

Mine is mounted in the glove compartment, just left of the owners manual tray. I have seen others mount them in the center counsel next the the cigarette lighter plug.

Thanks for the info. Have you been happy with the setup? Do you think the adjustment works well enough to justify?

I don't have it on my IS-F, but I did have the Tein's with the EDFC on my WRX. There is a definite difference between the settings of the EDFC.

I actually purchased the car with it. I bought CL member clifftrail's F. I love having the ability to change the damper settings on the fly. I preset a soft setting, sport setting and aggressive setting. I love the Tein CS although I just discovered my right rear coil-over is leaking.

I will be sending both rears to Tein USA for rebuild. I have heard it is better to have them done in pairs to assure their dampening rates are the same.

Thanks wmjeffreyw for the response and feedback too!

Since there doesn't seem to be a lot of other makers with this ability (EDFC), the setup is very attractive.
