Talking SAGE Racing Coilovers + Tein EDFC

I got these SAGE Coilovers last month...CK6speed and I got them installed....feels good...can be slammed down. Dampening and height adjustable.

I like this newer design/engineering of these....im sure there are a few other coilovers that are using this same design as well. To adjust height...rather than compressing the springs/shock pistons of other coilovers (ie: Tein)...I just need to twist the bottom mount base and lock it down....thus, leaving the spring/shock setting alone for full travel.

Btw...supposedly Tein EDFC works on these (more info...see below...post #32). ...but I haven't had a chance to try yet...too busy.















SLAMMED....Fenders sitting on tires. ...and low profile jack was stuck underneath the car...I needed another hydraulic jack and lifted up the car at the tow hooks...so I could get the low profile jack out....LMAO!!!

Btw...no RCAs yet when I installed them....RCAs were installed a week later.

Im letting them settle in before I make final adjustments to height....just too busy with work and family to get it done.

Here's a shot from a several weeks ago.

He couldn't drive like that when it was dumped though. The car fender was literally sitting on the stretched tire. In fact, if the tire wasn't in the way the car would have gone lower. The tire itself was holding the car up as the fender lip was sitting on it. I also think Pete is like me and drives way to aggressive for that ultra low slammed cars. If he and I were to drive some of the cars we see here the fenders would be all smashed up after a day of driving

Never heard of them but them look nice.

Just wondering did you install w/o changing settings right out of the box? If so, you got any pics of that height?
