does the TEAS monitor your suspension or can it control it also?

Its the best on the market.... Ive used Tein's EDFC before and EDFC has be changed manually on the settings but this TEAS can be programed so that the presettings can be changed automatically on different driving speeds.

There used to be a video clip of RX-8 with showing how TEAS works but I can find it right now......

That looks real nice. Hurry and get it all put on so we can get a writeup. I just ordered the Tein CS coilovers. I should have them on by the end of next week. I will post when I get that done as well.

Got the coilovers installed.... TEAS will be installed in few days....
Write-up on how the product performs will be posted soon.
The installtion went perfect and so far no problem... will be testing soon.(Driving hard on mountain roads).
The installaton was followed by the recomended setting from Tanabe as of 20mm from the lowsest to raise up the height adjusting nuts..
The installed IS was 07 IS250 RWD and the factory riding height was following (Distance between center of the wheel and the highest pint of fender lip(from center of the wheel to straight up tp the fender line),
Front: 14.5inch
Rear:14.5inch
(for both DR and PS)

After with Coilover,
Front:13.5inch
Rear:13inch
(For both DR & PS)

The result,
Front:1inch lowered
Rear:1.5inch lowered

Will raise the rear of 0.5inch more to make it even on fornt to rear when we install TEAS. Dont want to lower the car too, much.










Installation performed by SPEED CONCEPT (503)356-2222 PST.

That's disappointing that Tanabe didn't give proper height adjustment with those. Using the spring perches to adjust ride height is half-assed since it doesn't allow to adjust damper travel separately from ride height.

Well, this Tanabe Five for ISX50 has HELPER SPRINGS(also called tendam springs) which preloade the main springs so that ride height can be adjusted without changing too much of spring compression. (please search and learn more details about what helper springs do then you will understand what I am trying to info here.) Tanabe puts those helper springs for reasons...

Tanabe also has their line called "SEVEN" which has separate height adjustment but not available for ISX50s and those separate ride hight adjustment is for those who need extreme hight adjust ability. For most of ISX50 owners wont need that much of ride height adjustment.
