Default Question: Tein Flex Height?

Hey, i'm a newbie about suspension and mostly about coilovers. i've just recently found out that the EDFC is used to control the dampin force and not the ride height.

So my question is, how much does the TEIN Flex lower your car?? I kno that its a coilover so you can adjust it. But wats the highest setting can you go?? Can you ride in "stock" height?? and how difficult is it to adjust it?

Tim

taken from this site:

http://www.tein.com/ti/p26.html

Looks like the lowering range for the front is .35" higher than stock to 2.72" lower than stock.

Rear is 0.08" lower than stock to 1.5" lower than stock.

well, almost...

with the flex setup, theoretically, you can have the front HIGHER than stock by .35"

but the rear will be .08" LOWER than stock... which is almost nothing.

now only.. if they make a 'edfc' type unit to change the height of the car instead of the dampers.. .. that would be great..

Yeah, it would be cool to have something like that... and I belive that Tein is actually working on something similar ...

but you don't really want to adjust the height as often as you would adjust the damping...
