pretty excited to do this little project. The best part is the adjustable dampening on the run. With the EFDC, i can adjust the dampening rate and save 3 sets as well, all controlled by micro stepper motors. Beats crawling in the trunk and pulling the panels out to access the damper control valve.
So now i can have the system set for:
1.) Auto-x setting
2.) Cruising the highway setting
3.) AWWW SHIT HOWIE’S IN THE BACK SEAT! setting. :rant:

Nice!
I’m sure you’ll be able to give us a good fair review on them in the spring.

The thing i have to think about now, is where i want to mount the EDFC and if i want it to be stealthy or not. Incorporating _INTO_ something is always a cool route to go.

Spring Rate: (F/R)
392/532
Drop: (F/R)
1.1-1.9/0.3-1.1

I did, but i didn’t have enough clearance for the leaf spring.

I’ve heard nothing but great reviews on the TEIN SS setup for e46’s. Other vehicles or the “TEIN Basics” I can’t vouch for.

No, TEIN offers a “Basic” coilover setup as well, but that doesn’t have any dampening control. The EDFC is purchased seperately as an upgraded to only the TEIN SS system.
H&R and Bilstein Both make decent coilover kits as well, but i’ve read better reviews for the TEIN setup.
