It really depends on what you want them for... are you gonna race it or just for adjustabilty? You like a bit of camber in the front? How low do you want to go? you want somthing easy to install... Answer those questions and ill give u a answer

 

SS-P from 1150 to Basics for around 700

For the easiest installation and most adjustability, get the SS-P. You will also have the option for EDFC.

 

does the EDFC adjust your car height while your in the car?

can you feel your car move up and down?

is EDFC worth it and why?

any requirements for EDFC?

 

I'd also like to know this information.

I couldnt find the answers the his EDFC questions in that thread. Only found one instance of the word 'EDFC'.

does the EDFC adjust your car height while your in the car?
EDFC does not adjust your car height in anyway. EDFC stands for Electronic Damping Force Controller. What it does is allow you to control your damping force while you're in the car.

can you feel your car move up and down?
I'm guessing ur assuming it controls ride height and u can feel ur car moving up and down so no. What you can feel is the difference from a soft dampening road and a stiff dampening force. Go to the track, make your suspension stiffer, drive around town, make it softer to absorb more of the road bumps.

is EDFC worth it and why?
This is up to you. It retails for $380. How lazy are u to change your dampening settings. You need a hex wrench to adjust. Front ones are easily accessible, rear ones will require you to disassemble the hatch area to get to the top of the coilovers. EDFC, u press a button and its done.

any requirements for EDFC?
Only TEIN SS-P are compatible with EDFC. The upper pillow ball mount allows enough clearance for the EDFC to fit.

 

only if u had money, go get tein HA or RA :D or FLEX. but the others are just jdm bling. overrated and overpriced

 

Wait a while for the Buddy Clubs. They should be a little cheaper I think. Maybe around a grand.

 

I ordered my TEIN SS-P with the EDFC from Keith at Illusive Motorsports. Good people to work with. Anyways, I figured I'd go with the SS-P since it's in a way easier to install because of the pillowball mount (don't need a coil compressor to take off the stock springs and shocks). I also figured why not replace everything at once (instead of springs, then eventually shocks). Only thing I have to figure out is how low of a drop I want.

As far as what you should get, figure out how much you're willing to spend, and what kind of adjustability you want. You'll be able to adjust the height on any one of them, but if you would like to adjust the damping rate, then the TEIN SS and SS-P are a good option. The EDFC isn't really worth it to most people (because they'd just rather leave things well alone once everything is set where they want and save the $325). I on the other hand like toys and gadgets, and have the money lol. I'm not too familiar with the other companies. TEIN has been around for a while, so I'm willing to put my trust in their products.

I also read an article somewhere (I think PAS Mag) that you can send your struts back to TEIN and they'll basically overhaul them (I'm sure for a fee) so you don't have to buy a whole new set, and I also read you can send them back so they can adjust the damping rate for more aggressive or less (revalve). Kinda cool.

 

oh ok, thanks guys
