So what exactly does it improve if you have the EDFC. DOesn't Tein-Flex give u more stiff ride feel?

The only advantage of the monotubes would be on a road course/race track, etc due to their ability to cool themselves quicker. For the occassional canyon run or track day, the twin tubes will be just fine.

EDFC is just a gimmick if you have top adjustables... not sure if Tein Flex are?

Hey Teddie, haven't seen you around much lately. I wasn't gonna get the EDFC initially but I git such a good deal with it included that I couldn't pass it up. Install will happen on Wed.

they are but the rears are impossible to access without either dropping the entire shock out, or cutting a hole somewhere in the back of your car. edfc is definetly worth it.

true. however, it's only 3 bolts to get the assembly out. it takes me about 20 mins to get both rears out and fine tune my coilover (including taking wheels off). so, it aint too much a prob for me.

Doesn't sound too difficult to do but I am glad I was able to get the coils with the EDFC.

EDFC is totally worth it in my opinion. I can go from my drag setting to my road course setting to my street setting all with the push of a button. Plus I can fine tune at the track without taking anything apart.

true, i wish my coilovers were edfc compatible. still though, i don't mind it at all. changing springs (with different spring rates) require disassembling anyway.

yep, edfc is defnietly not necessary if you dont want/need on the fly adjustability. it all depends on your needs/wants.
