I haven't had a chance to test this out fully yet, but will when I do a 600km "cruise" in the next 2 weeks. On the fly electronic adjustment capability is something that I like, and good adjustability with 16 adjustment settings, both front and rear independently.Being able to go full soft on rear at the push of a button on a console right in front of you gives better launch capabilty, and that is more important the more HP you have.jp300 has used the same setup to help get his 10.9 recently, so we're now going to test it with a manual.My BF F6 has stock suspension; overall it is a terrible suspension; the front dampers are too soft; the rear is much firmer, and twitchy and nervous over bumps.BrianNice description thanks. I haven't got the EDFC yet but am looking around for one. Do you know which variant you're running? The standard and the performance? I'm getting the performance which is 15% stiffer apparently. The guys at Centerline think the standard are too soft on the soft setting and not stiff enough on the stiffest setting so they recommended the performance version.I heard you had Koni coilovers on your old blue car? True? How do they compare?I have been running the Teins now for a couple of weeks. Though with standard sway bars still.VERY impressed. The EDFC control is magic.My only gripe, and it's very slight, is I think it's just a little too stiff even at it's softest setting.With my RT615s, the car handles like a dream. Lots of road noise though. Almost drowns out the sound off the 044 pump that's under the passenger footwell... So do you know which model you got? The standard or performance? The latter is 15% stiffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The suspension - too firm? NOT! And that's with a 14 front and 10 rear setting. The Teins are awesome fellas. And so are the guys at <freeplug>Centerline Suspension in Lipton Drive Thomastown (ask for Chris)</freeplug>. Seriously, those guys know what they're talking about and the kit and setup is everything they described it as. Though firmer, the car is actually smoother even with the 19's having a much lower profile. And the wheels suite the car to death as well I reckon. Awesome and so was the service and advice from <freeplug>Tyepower in Reservoir (ask for Ray)</freeplug>. A family business with family values. Thanks boys. Here are some pics.

They do have a decent dish for a 8.5. But they just, and I mean just, clear the front brake calipers by about 1mm. I might also have some rubbage if I go around a corner quick or get too many fatties in the boot I mean back seat. With 105mm ground clearance, I wouldn't want it any lower. It's already a bugger on mildly steep driveways, speed humps etc.Rock on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
