edfc vs teas vs etc...

[HunsakerS14]

im gettin ready to invest in some coilovers and i really want in car adjustability but befoe i drop my funds onto some products. now what do people know and reccomend about different products. the only one im familiar with is the edfc. but never used just read about it. and i did research a little threw 3-4 pages before posting this. thank you

Greddy makes a controller for it's Type-S coilovers. Same price as the Tein
Plus, they're Monotube. yay!

In car adjustability is over rated and pointless.

Stop, get out, turn 4 knobs. Not hard.

But, to the original question, all those systems are largely the same, the are electronically "spinning" the knob.

save the money on the edfc, and buy better coilovers. once you get them adjusted thats where they'll stay. if you do go to the track worst case you'll have to open the trunk, and crank the wheel to full lock or pop your hood:bow: . not that big of a deal to adjust the dampers.

agreed. i wanted the edfc until i actually got my coilovers. then i realized it takes like 30 seconds to do it manually.

Pointless.

Don't be lazy.

I appreciate your personal opinions but i'm asking peoples personal experiences and likes/dislikes. you may think its stupid but honestly have the shit that goes on in this forum is stupid. my opinion. back to topic. sorry I just want to see what people have experienced. not think.

I drove an s14 w/flex and edfc. They all do the same thing.

You should really be concerned with which coilovers to get that have this feature available, depending on what the car will be used for. Foe example, Tein flex, monoflex and super drift are all edfc compatible but are designed for different purposes.

I put them on my subaru.

I mean it worked.


Biggest difference is the edfc just switches damping on the coil.

The teas switches on the fly for what it believes is optimal damping.

If I were stuck between the two, I'd go with the tanabe's because I like their coils better.

tanabe > tien
teas all the way!!!

[silviaguy240]

only good (or desirable) thing about the teas really is the progressive adjustment of the dampening.

that shit is useless unless you have arthritis or something

I want to know what kinds of drugs Tanabe engineers were on when they decided that the "ACTIVE DAMPING" thing was a good idea.

Having convenience is one thing, but the LAST thing I'd want is the dampers constantly changing force based on how fast the car is going. It makes NO sense and I imagine it would make the car extremely unpredictable at the limits.

Marketing pwns us all, I guess.

Best controller imo is this one, but it costs way too much money and has nothing to do with dampening because like everyone else said. Just get out of the car and do it yourself.

that is some sick shit. I want.

I've thought about those Roberuta Cup Kits.. It's just a air cylinder that fills up. The problem is that you must have 2" of shock travel at your disposal. If you've got a double adjustable coilover then you probably don't.

I hear what your saying but don't some luxury cars have this option as well? Provided I doubt the average owner would drive their q45 to the limit.

its not meant for track driving but for street driving.
