spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 14y 1m 27d Posted 25/12/10 06:24 AM Share Posted 25/12/10 06:24 AM Finally got around to fitting my Street Tein coilovers with the EDFC controller. The dam controller and running the wiring took longer than the fitting of the suspension.lol. Well worth the effort though. The ride can be compared to standard on the soft setting even though the vehicle is now sitting much lower and nice and firm when you dial it right up. All through the comfort of the cockpit! Highly recommend it to anyone looking at a suspension upgrade!BTW I have the standard shocks with lowered king springs all round that I need to get rid of. Send me a PM if you're interested.

spoolxr6 Member 312 Member For: 14y 1m 27d Posted 25/12/10 09:12 PM Author Share Posted 25/12/10 09:12 PM That's good news. Is it standard flex? I welded a beefplate in the centre of mine. I bought another flex plate and machined the centre out an welded it in place. They also sell them this way on eBay for $200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest XR09 Guests Posted 25/12/10 11:01 PM Share Posted 25/12/10 11:01 PM Are they new or second hand ??? If they are second hand I hope you checked them out well. They are great dampers, but depending on how they have been used, have a life span before needing to be rebuilt. I think mine are just about ready to be done. They either leak, knock or just get real comfy before they let go. But on the plus side you can have them rebuilt even better than std. Just like the 6 million $ man. lol. Gold valves and shimms, better oil, new gas mmm mmm sweet.Sorry not trying to be negative at all. I love the teins for the road. Just know someone who bought a set off ebay and a month later could not use his car for almost a month while the shocks were rebuilt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
