TeinFlex / EDFC settings...I'm confused
 

I am confused I thought that the higher the settings in the EDFC the harder the Springs are but now after reading the manual again it says that The damping force is highest at 0 and softest at 16....

Is it correct that the harder the dampening force the softer the springs or is it the harder the dampening force the harder the springs????

Someone please clear up my ignorance

Yes - zero is the hardest and 16 is the softest setting on the EDFC.

Are you still drag racing? If you are try - zero on the rear and 8 on the front. Your weight transfer on lanch will be so much faster that I bet you notice a difference in times. I don't drag race, just road race - so I set mine at zero in front and 8 in the rear (helps your front tire grab faster on a turn, and you can lay on the power earlier on the exit of a turn).
And if you haven't had your car corner weighted yet, do it! You will be suprised at the difference.

Now I understand why it feels better to drive the car on the higher settings for daily driving...:)

I thought that you are supposed to be as soft the rear for drag racing as possible. Am I wrong?

you want the rear to be nice and stiff so it doesn't squat as much on the launch/shift

yes 16 is softest, and my preferred setting for drag racing.
less chance of wheel hop if the shocks absorb more.

mrtomcat - you have got to stop buying the same stuff I have. :icon39:
The fun of EDFC - is you get to change it on the fly to see what works best. The last road race I was at - I was changing the setting as I drove the coarse more and more. I found the perfect setting for that coarse, while I was driving. The next step would be to find three settings for a coarse, and change it for each turn/straight away.
About drag racing - I spent two hours on the dyno the other day. We actually messed around with the EDFC while on the dyno. You could see the torque come up almost instantly when the setting was on zero, and a much more linear torque curve with the setting at 16. Pretty cool to see the difference.

You want the squat for drag racing..

A softer front setting and stiffer rear setting should help to reduce the understeer that the Z is notorious for. By setting the front stiffer I would expect your understeer to be worse??

LOL, great minds think alike

youre not changing the springs, its the dampening force i believe

Wrong
 

That is WRONG........you want the rear end springs soft when you are drag racing so the rear end WILL squat and it will give you better traction.
