Default Tein Flex w/ EDFC

Hi Guys,

This is the best, just push a botton and it changes from the softest to hardest setting for about 2 sec. The rides are just like stock when you are on the softest setting ( I really miss that ) , as when it on the hardest setting you can definelly feels every little bumps on the road. Finally, I found the suspension that I like which rides nice and looks good too. BTW, I use to have L-Tuned (I think is too soft and not low enough for looks) and then HKS Hiper Damper suspension (little bit too hard but looks good)

Pics look nice, but does the unit fit where the ashtray is? Or is it too big to fit in there? Regardless, I want to purchase coilovers and this combo looks sweet as hell. Enjoy the ride

EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) are the device for adjusting damping setting for Tein's suspension without going outside the car.

GS430 GUY,

I don't think this will fit in ashtray, even though it looks small but it too long to fit in.

THAT IS one sweet custom location! great job man!

What type of coilovers are you running with EDFC? Flex? CS? HA? (I"m guessing Flex because you probably can't get HA to be as soft as stock)
