Default Installed Tein FLEX with EDFC yesterday@APH :-)

Many thanks to APH..They did a great work on my ride...super clean..

sorry for the bad quailty cellphone picutures....

handling is much improved over the stock suspension...

and i am loving the EDFC....setting on 16/16 will give a near stock ride quality..definitely stiffer than stock ..but near stock..lol...

IMO, setting on 0/0 will kill me on toronto roads

you feel every single bump and holes on the road...

Question: the slip indicator came on once when i was driving on ramp to HWY 407..i was one 3rd gear to 4th gear.

all of a sudden slip indicator came on...the road was dry and flat....don't know what cuases the slip light to come on..Any ideas?

picture before the drop without body kit.



working in progress






Finally product

Nice. I usually run the EDFC about 7-8 for normal driving. This time of year though as the frost leaves the gound I pump it up higher into the 12-16 range. O-4 is cool on the twisties or even the 407. Its fun playing with it.

Cool, I saw your tein box there today. Looked like Ed had a camber kit I needed but apparently it was already installed in your car...

Anyway they just installed my coils today. Did a great job as always. I just have to get my fenders rolled now as a tire rubs (put 10mm spacers on the rear, I'm sure that has something to do with it).

Give us a write up on how you like the teins. Car looks great!

Megan coilovers for the short term.

re: camber kit I sure could use that. I have to roll my rear fenders as I am now rubbing with the offset I'm running in the rear.

APH is great to deal with 'eh.

Excellent way to get banned actually =\.

on topic: I like the way the kit looks with the ings rear, very nice... I usually dig the standard GT wheels but on black i'm not so certain... if you do go aftermarket something black/cf/partial black would be wicked!

Keep us updated on how you find the drop in respect to handling improvements and rubbing
