Grrrr. . . I'm still lacking in the time department. I have the TEAS all in now and ready to go. . .it was a little hassle drilling holes in the rear to run the wires, but it was done. I'll probably have it done in the next week or so.

I totally understand how much of a PITA the install is. I've got everything in and working, but still need to decide exactly how I want to mount the EDFC box. How are you liking the setup so far? We need to compare notes one of these days. Do some kind of side-by-side comparison for the forum.

 

Any updates on this, Drewer?

 

Yeah. . .read this thread.

I do have the coils back in my possession but am waiting on the rear springs. Supposedly 2-3 weeks from last Monday. At this rate, I'll have 'em on when the snow starts falling!

 

Ah, I missed that thread. When I search, I usually search on by thread title, so I missed it.

Thanks for the link

No problem. Aside from the crappy UPS ordeal, the coils look amazing. I'll still wrap up the pseudo-DIY and review 'em when all is said and done. Trust me, the patients part S-U-C-K-S!

 

Forgot all about this...so is the damn thing in yet?

 

Haha! No. Still waiting on the rear springs. Grrrr!

 

Damn get this installed already. I want some feedbakc on the TEAS!

Rears:

Rear DF210 spring vs stock rear spring, not adjustable springmount. It's like Hai's, but is reversible.

Thanks to John (redline624) for "thinking outside the box" and saving me TONS of time getting 'em set up correctly! Also, for not bringing the M4 to put me in my place. Sick ride man! The pics don't do it justice!

So, with the recommended heights the new front and rear wheel arch heights are: 27" front and 26 7/8" rear. There is PLENTY of room to drop it, but I'll do that some other time.

Oh, and the TEAS working on active speed sensing is freaking AWESOME. From above 30 to 120mph the damper stiffness automatically increments from 1 to 16. I'll have to mess with the settings since you can program it to do whatever you want, really. I'll post a video when I can convince my wife to ride along and be camera-woman.

More actual DIY plus videos and thoughts later.

P.S.
If anyone wants the stocks before I toss 'em let me know asap! I have two extra spring mounts now for someone else to do Hai (redlude97's) springmount mod if they want some to butcher without worrying about theirs!

 

This has got to be the longest coilover installation saga EVAR! Nice to see you finally got them in. Are you coming to the dyno meet next week? Hopefully we get to see these babies in action

 

I will be there. . .


Hopefully the vortech tuner kit won't turn into "The Mod Strikes Back."

 

Hey, if you are still around, how did you get the rear adjustment wiring harness to get to the top of the struts? Can't seem to find an easy way to get in there to plug the wrires in.

 

I had to cut the connector off, feed the wire through a hole that was already there, then re-solder, and shirk-wrap it. I thought I had a picture of it on here somewhere. Let me look. . .
