Its pretty cheap actually....$380 for the EDFC and $1560 for the Coilovers. The Coilovers have a FULLY threaded shaft which means you can go as low as ya wana goooo.


I'm in for the GB.

So you use this EFDC with Tein Flex or any Tein coilover??

From what I've read on Tein's web site, this EFDC system looks like it uses motors (that attach to the top of the coilover??? if so, does this mean no more strut bars??) to adjust the stiffness of the coilover (instead of using a wrench to adjust the 'clicks'. Is that right?

$380 seems very reasonable for this capability.

Wheel Boutique,

Group buy, Club Lexus exclusive price/sale, however you do it I'm down for it. I've wanted Tein for my car since I found out about them and the Flex + EDFC looks like the only way to go!

I notice that you can adjust between "soft" and "hard", front and rear. As an old guy, I think I want both front and rear "hard"............no more running, no more Viagra!!!!!!!!!

Do you control the stiffness of the coilovers with the EDFC and the height of the drop?

EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller) makes it possible for the driver to control the damping force by controlling a motor installed in the shock absorber while being seated in the driver's seat. Since the damping force can be manually controlled with ease to meet different situations, the driver can enjoy variations in the suspension setting.

Yea like I said.....
