Dave:

Yes, you can use the EDFC on the FLEX. I plan on installing it as well. Wanted to test out the Flex alone first. It's only $300 for the whole kit.

Hello All!!

Just a note to update you on my progress The TEIN FLEX are installed!! Completed Saturday the 17th. It was not that difficult, but, Definitely needs to be done by a qualified Technician.

My SC went through a bit more than just a new suspension today...If we fade back to a few months ago, I was driving in the rain, and I noticed that each time I acclerated, the rear wheels seemed to twist or flex a little. I was obviously a bit concerned, so I took it to my NSX Technician, and he put it on the lift, and found that the rear axle sub-frame assembly had two worn bushings. I believe they are referred to as rear I-Beam mounts. They constructed in such a way that the outer body of the mount is made up of two pieces attached to the center rubber piece. The metal ends do not touch each other, and it is easy to flex this bush by hand. But, as soon as they are "pressed into the I-Beam assembly, they do not flex by hand at all. There are a total of 4 bushes, two other ones on that assembly that are a bit different, that I had replaced. I have found that on a car this age, even though well taken care of, the rubber everywhere starts to wear out. So, I have been replacing bushings everywhere in order to make my car ride and perform as well as new. By replacing those bushings, I noticed that the slight vibration I had in my seat (at high speeds) has now gone. It was a trip to see the whole rear axle and sub-frame assembly completely off of my car!! But, no worries. Louis put it back together beautifully!!

Anyway, my SC is sweet with the Teins In fact, I was surprised at how smooth and comfortable the ride was My ride is tighter, lower, better looking, better handling, and surprisingly comfortable

I have driven it on the stiffest settings, and also on medium (current set-up). Both were excellent. Not bouncy, nor too stiff. The rear feels firmer and stiffer than before, but, the front is actually much more comfortable. I believe this is due to the extreme wear on the old front suspension parts. Going over a blue street reflector now, is much more comfortable

All in all, this was an excellent investment. Worth every penny

BTW, more pics to come...

Any problems with the tires rubbing fenders when going over bumps or dips in the road at high speeds? The Teins look great, I got the JIC's with the purple springs. Not exactly my color.

 

So far, not a single tire scrub I once felt and heard a slight rub on the driver's side front mud flap when I went over an exceptionally high speed bump. That was it. I am running 235/40/18 in front, and 265/35/18 in the rear. I have taken the car up to 115 mph, no scrubbing, no bottoming out, no vibration. No bouncing either. Very smooth.

I love the FLEX. The ride is excellent, the handling greatly improved (excellent IMO), the look is also much meaner. Pics to come soon.

Looking clean man!

Would u know how low did u drop your car? Did u adjust the height with the springs or the shocks itself?

It makes a difference if you use that SLASH = /

I am planning to add the same set for my 5-speed, a spoiler and brake modifications before the spring. Best price around I have found is $1420 for the FLEX set.

Where did you get them from?

I read the posts but did not see how much it lowered the car. How much was it?

Great looking car.
