I have $2,000 to spend and I am trying to decide between two different options.

First option: Tein Flex with EDFC controller and motors. Does this kit improve the handling a lot? Is it worth the $2,000?

Second option: Sparco Fighter seats, Sparco 4 point competition harnesses, Cusco Strut, Eibach front and rear Sway bars.

Which one do you guys think would be the best for the money?

 

I would say get just Tein Flex + sways. Skip EDFC cuz a lot of people that get them tend to not use it as often. Plus it's a hefty $400ish for it too.... might as well invest half of that in swaybars and you still come out on top.

 

I like stance (GR+ would be good for street) over Tein (same price point) EDFC is great for a toy, but most of us dont adjust damper settings unless you are track then back home. I would say to check out hotchiks sway bar kits also, first hand experience and i love them

 

Haha yeah. I was thinking the EDFC would be pretty cool, but like you said it's more of a toy . 9k Racing said they were going to hook me up with everything for $2,000 flat, that's really the only reason I was going to get the EDFC with it.

 

EDFC is cool for the first day or two , after that you find your setting and leave it. your goal seems to be track orianted.

ARK Springs
D Spec struts
Front camber arms
Hotchkis sways
Front Whiteline bushings

You will still have money left over to get another piece of the puzzle.
Seat
Harness
As much as I hate then , harness bar.

 

Thanks for the advice, I'll keep all that stuff in mind. I'm not going to be able to buy for months now, my clutch just went out so all the money is now going towards that.

 

+1 on skipping the EDFC. After you've found the settings you like you probably won't be adjusting them much.
