Default Tein Comfort Sport and EDFC

I installed these last Monday, so i've had a good week with them. these are the new version of the CS. spring rate is 390 front and rear, 16 way dampening. i just did the recommended drop of -.6 front and -.4 rear cause i don't want to invest in camber right now. the ride is great with a noticeably shorter stroke. at soft settings it feels pretty much like stock in terms of comfort and gets alot rougher as you dial them in. full stiff is pretty rough for most streets.

install took about 4 hours with a couple smoke breaks. the edfc was pretty easy to install... i didn't route the cables under the plastic which saved alot of time. the speed of the edfc suprised me, takes about half a second for front and rear to adjust from full soft to full hard. the motors are audible, but thats a good thing imho.

my edfc presets:
16 softest/ 0 stiffest
f-11 r-15 is girlfriend mode/stockish.
f-6 r-10 perfect street performance for me.
f-1 r-5 run kunta run mode.

result of crappy camera and no skills

nice coilovers. I was contemplating with myself if i should go with these. I wasn't sure how low they were able to go because i heard they only lower about 1.5 inch and i didn't wnat to dump then for premature failure on the lowest settings.

Also, i've been in a car with the EDFC and i would prefer the sound of the motors. Atlest you know they are working.

I've been eyeing these myself. Looking forward for a more extensive review. Where did you order them and how much if you don't mind sharing.

according to Tein, front goes down to -2.3 front and -1.1 rear. could easily go lower with spring mount mod in the rear, but i don't see myself going that low.

i got the coilovers on ebay for $1325 shipped, edfc from Sharif... pm anyone from Forged for a quote
