How is the ride? And not sure if you ever used EDFC... but how well does the active adjustment goes? Does it REALLY adjust while you're moving at any speed?

On the softest setting i would say it is still stiffer than stock. I have been driving with the setting on 5 for now and its not that bad. I have never been in a car with the Tein's EDFC so i can't compared the two. I haven't had a chance to calibrate the speed sensor yet. From my understanding it will adjust according to your speed. You can adjust how much depending on your preference. I will let you know ASAP once i get it calibrated(after the rain)

Since you live in Carson maybe we can meet up one day? I live in Torrance Carson St and Vermont Ave. I have been busy so the speed sensor still isn't hooked up yet. I can still give you a ride if you're interested?

I have the Pro Five with TEAS as well.

- Unit is bigger then the EDFC
- The active suspension is neat, it allows you to set dampening depending on speed. You'll need to tap into you VSS.
- The TEAS is very worth it to get as it will make your car much better for DD. Stiffest setting is not very streetable.

If you have any other questions then let us know.

Thanks thanks... that would be awesome. Although if you're busy I do not want to rush lol...

And yes, that's what I been trying to look for. I want something that I can DD with... and something I can have fun with @ tracks later on.

i have the tanabe pro seven on my s14 and the damping is absolutely amazing. KYB is the shock producer for tanabe suspension. They are valved well and definately sensitive. I would recommend it to any spirited driver and weekend track warriors.

Just let me know when is a good time to meet up? Weekends? Weekdays? Evening or afternoon? I am free after 3pm during the week and usually weekends anytime.
