Finished TEIN Monoflex with EDFC install

Bringing up an old thread, where did you guys run the wiring through the firewall to the forward shock motors? I'm going to be doing all the EDFC-related install work

Bringing up an old thread, where did you guys run the wiring through the firewall to the forward shock motors? I'm going to be doing all the EDFC-related install work over the next few days and could use some pointers on where all the pathways are. Also, what wire did you tap for the controller? I was reading the Tein site and they were mentioning the need to have a power source that isn't being used that much, as too much of a voltage drop can lead to faults in the EDFC system. Any help is appreciated!

My wire runs were a bit hacked……
I drilled a hole through the firewall above the clutch pedal so that the driver's side wire run aligned with the shock tower…..beware the insulation; it loves to tangle with drill bits. I ran the passengers side (after passing through the hole) along another wire bundle or cable tied it to structure near the firewall to get to the passenger side. For the rear, I drilled though the lower gage/thickness portion of the shock towers. There is an alternative to run to the back middle access plug but supporting the wires seemed a bit difficult going that route.

I had a friend run the power so do not have much information on that.

Good luck! I'd be happy to meet and show you what I'm trying to describe…..give me a call.


I was quoted about $1k for the installation so decided to work it on my own with a few qualified friends.
