My best try...
JIC - The car looks low and rigid from the outside but when you are in, it rides comfortably. Because the stroke is so short, there is not much that can be done about the fine pitch. It feels like it is touching the 'bump lever' more agressively. If you make the contact point farther back, and make the car roll, then this improves. Evern though the body is low, you can drive the car normally and have a cool looks. 'not too low'. with the normal shocks, the car pivots at the front, so you feel like the springs are creating bounce (or something to this effect too soft and bouncy like a soft spring). This short one doesn't have this bounce.
Summary- for looking cool, removing the bounce, and lowering the car.
Tein- He tried arious EDFC settings. When it was full hard, the car was super fun. When you make it really hard, the response is really good and not abrupt or harsh. At the turn-in, when transitioning from braking to steering, the car changes direction swiftly. The car rolls, but you hardly feel it. I can attack up and down corners very agressively. If you have these with the S tires, this is enjoyable on the race track. Response is immediate so it feels like a go cart. At the soft setting, the ride is more comfortable. If I could make one request it would nice to have the 'bump/pump/hump direction' a bit softer.
Jason's Japanese buyer may revise this a bit has he has the technical language and knowledge to translate this better.
