Nice! Looks like youre having some fun with it. You should take it to a road course. Youll appreciate it even more! Its a great coilover I love mine. I have the black EDFC as well

Bert the ride height is perfect....any lower would be a negative in my book. Nice and clean.

As always sick....sick....ride man....

I think its Skyline drive time? Let me know I (or you) can post something to test that new suspension out...Also I know of some nice long back roads..however they are south of IKEA in VA...off I95....let me know when you want to roll man....I am always ready to move my350G.

Ahem...Would a setup like this work for streets...say...um....in Brooklyn New York???Im looking into suspension options and this EDFC/Flex has always caught my eye with the ability to change settings in car....Just wondering is such an aggressive 14/14 would be tolerable in New York pothole/bump ridden roads....I currently have Eibach springs as my only suspension mods....Was leaning toward the Hotchkis total suspension upgrade but really like the EDFC setup....

You know it aint nothing but a thang for me to hit Skyline Drive.....

Ryan is at least 3 months out....awaiting some Custom AC coolent lines...etc.

We can hit something up soon, Ryan can drive my ride or ride shoot gun with me. I will let you know something soon....maybe mid to late Aug to Sept?

This is something we wouldnt post, we would just secretly PM those who know how to drive....lol.

Not one rattle. Ive read about rattles coming from the rear, I never had rattles with the JIC's or these.

For the guy in New York, hell no I wouldnt run 14/14k springs. If you want the EDFC get the Tein CS with 7/7k spring rates and run EDFC on that...

I'll post a pic later, that was me cutting. Like I said earlier I have another dash on order as you need to cut the hole higher to fit the controller more flush...

If you Chit rattles then your rear scews are loose. Mine were loose when I took them out of the box. Folks never inspect that since it looks like its secured very well. What screw? Its the one on top of the strut.
