Default Tein Flex with EFDC

Feel free to share your experience here.

My preference:

City street: Front 15 and Rear 15

Highway(smooth) Front 8 and Rear 10

Autocross full attack mode. Front 4 and Rear 2.

Personally, I love this set up.

Is it worth the expense? It sounds good on paper but is it really worth it to have the controls inside rather than just opening the hood?

The biggest complaint I have heard is Tein shocks, not the concept itself.

I have almost bought them several times and chickened out at the last minute

Well it is harder than the stock coilover. The lowering of the ride height really pays off in terms of improving he handling (eg. less roll, less twitchy and more predictable.)

The EDFC is not easy to install, due to limited space to hide those long cables, but it is worth the exta cost.

Being able to adjust the shocks on the fly is priceless, if you asked me.

your not supposed to ride on one extreme end or the other 0/16 (or 0/32 depending on your mode)

it will cause the damper to not want to move from its location. albeit this limits your dampening adjustments but they clearly do not reccomend full stiff/full soft

i ride

15/15 daily
10/4 highway
6/1 funtime

I like that 4-2 combination at autox too. Sometimes I use a 5-3.

A 3-16 will make it set down on a launch.

I'm usually at 15-13 on the street.

I'm dropped 3/8th and corner balanced.

Dude,

Thanks for the heads-up. No more 16/16 for me from now on!

You know I never did get any form of instruction regarding how to determine the best settings for this or that. Nor did it say anything about riding either extreme.

I just took it out and spent a whole day at a test and tune trying it. When I did lock them all the way down I looked like a drift machine.

I did end up changing my tire pressures at autox as well to accomodate the additional control. That makes a difference in where you set your suspension.

I've gone from a 34/33 to a 33 all the way around
