I heard teins were over-rated...... There was a really good brand that I remember readin an article about......
Its manual n not controlled by an electronic adjustment like the EDFC but its pure performance.......

Otherwise if its a Honda? spoon FTW hahahahaha

You are aware that most teins are also manual and EDFC is only optional on specific vehicles.
Unless you can name this "really good brand" and have any other facts to back up that it is superior to tein please stop talking like you know what you are on about.

^hahah carmen lays down the law.

its not most, its ALL tein are manual. EDFC is an accessory. it's not built into the units.
and is almost a complete waste of money =p

^The EDFC is good for setting your damper settings when you daily drive the car. Soft settings for getting over speed humps FTW =p

take it like a man =p

you don't soften up the suspension, you crabwalk the bump and you go slow...

if the EDFC could give me height control too, THEN i might think its worth 300+

I have TeinSS with EDFC controller....got it for $600! What a bargain! Brand new TeinSS for me cost like $2k+ without EDFC
But you can't find my EDFC control cuz I hid it some where. LOL
I didn't want to build it into the storage area cuz it takes up my space.

the one they dont have is 96-00 lol.


sorry, i forgot to mention. it would be listed as the EJ6 96-00. since technically, the EK9 badge was only used on JDM models. It's there though, I've checked the website out myself.

Morgan fails at google search =P

CLICK

You can get basically a couple of them. But not all is compatible with the EDFC.
I'd say stick with the SS's for street use.
The flex are good but will drive you insane for daily use. Unless you are tracking the car there isn't much need for the flex.

Teins rust pretty fast..........n yes I know EDFC is an option I'm just sayin u won't have that luxury, but yah I dun have my car mags anymore cuz I moved so I can't tell u what brand those were

Why I say no to teins is only becuz they get rusty pretty fast compared to other brands.....

^But the teins are also a manual adjustment? So you have just contradicted your previous point.
Please stop talking to avoid further embarrassment.
