I wouldn't trade for those ,I'll keep my KW V3's.:tup:

Not sure many have jumped from one to the other.
I know the KW3 are more progressive giving a smoother ride and then becoming stiffer as you increase performance on the track. I like my TEIN with the EDFC because I can adjust my stiffness at anytime front to rear.

EDFC on a NISMO
 

I've been doing my research on the TEIN Mono Flex Coilovers and this thread has been helpful in basically saying "GO GET EM"; however, with the EDFC where did you install the motor mounts? There seems to be no room what so ever in the front with the strut brace in the way. Did you have to purchase a new brace just to get the motor mounts to fit?

How are you liking these after some track seasons under your belt? This option is very tempting to me because I need a set of coils that can keep near ride height and with these you can actually raise the car if you wanted. I have very little drive way clearance. For the electronic control system - do you just buy the kit they sell or do you also have to buy some additional motors to make it work??

Ok I think I am sold. EDFC ACTIVE sounds amazing!!

Agreed!

EDFC can change ride height?

No, just damping.

getting these installed this spring. did your leg ever hit the controller on that side? and any tips for the install?

The new EDFC Active controller is much smaller (as in not as deep) so I actually had it installed where the seat heater switches are and moved those switches to inside the console. Worked out well.

Here is what I am talking about:

Nice, I wish the original one was not as deep because that is where I originally wanted it.
Ended up putting it where your relocated your heater switches actually and works out nicely. Still easy access but now unknown to people unless they get into my car.

Reviving an old thread here, but doing my research on what suspension I'd like to get next year. I do a lot of autocross and a few track days a year here and there. I was looking into the Tein Flex or Mono Flex coils and the active EDFC. Anyone have any updates on their experience on the track and streets? I also daily drive the car.

I am also intersted in this system, however, what confuses me is that such few people seem to have it. The EDFC seems very unique and a pretty cool feature to have, especially since dialing in coilovers can be such a pain. I guess I am asking, why do such few people go this route?

depending on the person's setup for their car.. some people just want their car lowered, so they just go for low price coilovers or spring setup..
some wants track setup and move to coilovers with spring rates that suits the track more..
others want true type coilovers or air lifts..
and money plays a role here too since tein mono flex or other tein edfc compatible coilovers plus the edfc unit itself will run around $2,000.00 range

Yeah it doesn't seem like the cheapest route but out of everyone on this forum it seems like only a few have gone with this option.

i mean how often do ppl adjust their coilover stiffness? yes with edfc, it is a lot easier since u can do it inside the car and have like 4 or 5 saved setting to change around with..
but most ppl drives their car on the street and they usually adjust it once or twice to their liking and leave it at the setting..
ppl that usually adjust their stiffness more often is the track guys, since different track and condition requires different settings to run faster..
some do track with the tein line coilovers but also for that price range.. ppl would rather spend a little more or equal to for a set of coilovers that is more aggressive or more suitable for tracking..
not saying tein is bad in anyway.. they are quality coilovers but there is a lot of options out there and it depends on what the person's goal for the car is

Thats exactly why i went for the EDFC set up i can adjust the settings for track days then soften the suspension for everyday use, best of both worlds really.

From what it sounds like, with the EDFC active pro, the suspension changes based off speed and g forces. That's kind of the same concept as Chevys magnetic ride suspension. Obviously the EDFC isn't as quick or as expensive but the concept is similar.

Reviving an old thread here, but yeah strange no one here has really used them.
The old EDFC adjusted damping front to back but left to right were together. The new active pro allows all 4 wheels to be controlled independently - why hasnt anyone in the US got these - im pretty keen on them

im getting it next year in Australia

Probably because nobody wants to pay more than $1500 for some coils now lol. But, some of the JDM companies are somewhat falling behind on the tech front in suspension tuning, with some companies not using the new double digressive piston designs and such. Some of the lower end brands (Fortune Auto, BC, etc.) are bringing the DD piston design into the low-end coils, at a very competitive price point. The JDM companies can't really compete with that unless they make some big changes.

I assume your getting the Active Pro - what coilovers are you pairing them up with?

Really want to use the Active Pro with a fully adjustabe coilover
