DIY: Tein EDFC II (or I) Controller and Motor Kits Install

question.. with the edfc install... does it matter what click you were at on the coilovers before unscrewing it out to install the edfc? or all 4 struts can be in random clicks and the edfc will autoadjust it back to 0 or 16?

Negative because when you screw back in the hex bolt, you're going to flush all four struts anyway.

Post install and turning on the EDFC controller first time, clicks won't matter because the self-adjusting (to zero) is just that and will 'self-adjust' each strut accordingly. I would advise limiting the tinkering of the dampener manually once the motor is on because you can tinker all you want via EDFC controller.

Nice write up. I have the EDFC Active with the GPS and G sensors and love it.

Great write up on the EDFC install - any issues reinstalling the strut tower brace after the EDFC motors have been installed? Is there any clearance issue or issue keeping the wire from the EDFC motors clear of the strut tower brace?

No issues with the strut tower brace. The EDFC motors are very low profile and sink pretty deep into the top of the struts. I believe the EDFC motors are the same and just the controllers is what's different. The wires can be in the way so you'll have to cable tie them down using your best judgment so they stay out of the way.
