Tein flex/edfc...coilovers in general
Ive been talking to the guys over at evolution on the phone for the past two weeks about ordering my rims, and i decided that i cant afford volks right now, and i still do not know what i want. after this i started to look into suspension, i cant take the highways anymore. i want a less stiffer ride, with the adjustability to stiffen the s2000 ride.
does anyone in the del val have the flex with the edfc setup? how do you like it, and how did the install go? i heard every time you change the height you need an alignment done, but then i heard if you dont lower the car more than 1.25'' your alignment is fine.
ive seen the buddyclubs in person, the stance is nice, but i heard their stiff. i just need some opinions and insight since you guys share the road with me. let me know, now not only can i decide on rims, but i cant decide on coilovers.
btw...if this helps, i do plan to track my car this summer. im not going to be a track junkie though, mainly i want better suspension for the highways and a modest drop for when i get rims in spring...thanks guys.....Frank

hows your car? that sucks, but at least it wasnt as bad as it could have been.
BTW, any price on the header for the ITR, he wants the street one, not the all out race version they offer.

hope all works out well for you...
this sucks though. every time i pick parts out for my car i change my mind, and now that i actually have some money, not much, and its burning a hole in my pocket.
so far ive been debating the ideas: j's 4.44...tein flex...volk rims...spoon header...cant wait to see what i want to think about buying tommorrow.
maybe ill just forget everything and save for the sc...ill have a thousand by the end of the week saved. who knows anymore

I have the Tein Flex with the EDFC. I love them...Especially after tracking the car at Fall Colors. The adjustibility is a breeze since you dont have to get out of the car to do any adjustments. I had too much roll going into a few turns at the track and after a few click's of a button, that was all gone.
If your looking for a "cushy" ride, forget about it. Even with mine set at full soft the can be bouncy. The springs are pretty stiff and you cant adjust that. Although I believe you can get different springs with different spring rates to soften it up a bit, but then you are defeating the purpose of the coilovers.
Reguardless of your ride height, you should have an allignment after you install the coilovers.

How much did you lower your s2000 w/ the flex? Jeff at evolution told me out of the box their pre adjusted, its a bolt on ordeal and will lower my car about an inch. thats fine by me. I want the edfc because i don't feel like removing the trunk pannels every time i adjust the rears.
