Re: Tein Flex Damper with EDFC installed - PICS

Is this Solo2? I don't recall an "STE" class.. is that a local class, or a local naming convention for one of the classes?

It's a local class made for Street Tire only cars in Houston. Some of the Regional clubs have them as well. Here are their specs:

Remember that he paid 2G's with the EDFC, so it's a reasonable price.


It's still a G thang!!

Ahh.. allowing common car mods that would place you just outside Prepared and not competitive in Modified? We have a similar thing here.. call them "IS" classes, though (Improved Street). I think I'll stick to D-Stock until my driving skills approach ... umm... let's just say "competitive." [img]/w3timages/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Re: Tein Flex Damper with EDFC installed - PICS

I am new at this. How are these different in handling to Eibach springs if you set both to the same stiffness if that were possible. Are these racing quality like say Porche or Ferrari? Thanks!

If you always do what you always did you will always get what you always got.

Re: Tein Flex Damper with EDFC installed - PICS

these are a lot different then the eibachs. This is a compltly new suspention the eibachs are just springs. The Tien kid will lower the car and make it hadle a lot better. The eibach will just lower the car. These are much better then the eibachs but are more exspensive.

Re: Tein Flex Damper with EDFC installed - PICS

Eibach choose's to offer their springs for the Z and G wound progressively. That means theirs a compromise between ride comfort, handling and the overall nature of the car. These don't come with that type of spring (they have linear springs), Nissan/Infiniti didn't believe that compromise was acceptable, neither do I.

Re: Tein Flex Damper with EDFC installed - PICS

Thanks. I also have the Cusco sways and I just added Stillen's cross-drilled slotted rotors. On top of stopping even better than before, they look pretty damn cool too! I'll post some pics soon.

The handling is incredible with the Tein/Cusco combo. Should be pulling in some trophies at the autocross soon.
