Of the 3, which allowed for the most engine cover to stabilizer gap? Were you able yo remove the engine cover without removing the bar on any of them?

Well, for me since I have a GS300 the engine cover has to come off if I want to put a STB on.. But if you want clearance go with the RMM because it's flat not like the TRD and the TOM's which for the most part are round.. I myself liked the way the RMM fitted and looked compared to the others...

and the reason why I liked the RMM so much is because with the other 2 I needed to use spacers to clear the engine.. With the RMM I didn't need to...

I've got the RMM STB on a GS4

When I changed to TM plugs I had to take off the engine cover, so "yes" you can remove the engine cover without taking off the STB.


The EDFC will fit on the RMM STB too.

i'd definitely suggest you try a CL search, and make sure you search for edfc in the title only, or do a google search. you'll definitely get better answers than you can in this thread.

to start though, it goes with Tein Flex coilovers and installs on top of the struts/coilovers in the engine bay and allows you to easily change the dampening of the coilovers. not a monster change for $400, but a change

They can mount on other Tein Coilovers too... The EDFC is a device that mounts on the top of the coilovers where you adjust the dampening.. So you can adjust it from hard to soft from inside the cabin while your driving or sitting still.. That's just a quik answer hope it helps...

yes i have the trd stb with my tein ha and i can access the **** no problem. doesn't look as easy as the tom's but definitely no problem. but i DO heard that with the flex the trd stb won't fit, anyone?

yes ,with the trd and toms stb you will need to remove the car to remove the engine cover. with the rmm you don't have to

and the rmm is the only one that allows you to put on the edfc
