um it doens't weigh 70 to 80 lbs.. they are just 4 small motors and turn the dampening ***** and wires and the small box. 5lbs at most unless your talking about the whole coilover system, springs, etcc... i can ship it out in a ups box for like 8 bucks
how does THIS weigh 80lbs?

I have seen EDFC being installed and the wires are 16 guage. I disagree with your assumption. 70 lbs is a lot of weight.

I must have been thinking about the entire coilover kit. 4 gauge wire only weighs about .25 lbs/ft so that wouldn't add up to 70-80 lbs. I stand corrected and I apologize for the confusion.
In my defense, I did say IIRC.

Still, I said the same thing before I put on the springs, if I didn't like em, I'd change em out when the TEIN came out. The springs are still acceptable.

On a side note, I had the Tein SS on my 94 Accord and loved them.
Off topic, Zeal Coilovers are out, and people who have gone from Tein to Zeal say its one of the best investments ever, but it comes along with a price of pretty much $2000-2400 depending on what set you get. I am set on getting the Zeal Coilovers.

As an example, let's say that you have your car lowered and you want a stiffer ride, so you adjust the dampers to a stiff setting, but then, all of a sudden, you encounter a really uneven/messed up road...
well, guess what, your car is going to start bouncing everywhere like a freakin' grasshopper 
, and that's when you hit one of the pre-programmed or one of your own customized settings on the EDFC to a smoother setting and voila !! you got yourself a smoother ride over that road surface
