Default I need ideas on mounting points for Tein EDFC.

I am finally going to do the coilovers and I was wanting to do the complete package with the damping controler, but I cant figure out a place to mount thebox. I have to have it out of plain sight. I was thinking to mount it in the arm rest storage area or ash tray(if it will fit). If I cant get this thing mounted in a concealed area I will put the money towards other mods. Maybe I can just have them mount it in the glove compartment

if all the controllers are the same it should be pretty easy to hide. i had the same suspension on a previous car and the controller is about the size of a pack of cigs

when you look up the dimensions I think the width is 90mm. That might be a little tight for the ash tray, not sure. If I can get it to fit I will buy it. I just dont want it mounted on top of the steering column in front of the dash like alot of the older tuner cars did it. what do you guys think about the arm reast between the seats

There is a post on the 2IS forum by a member named alex350 that shows him mounting the edfc cleanly in the ash tray. It has pics of the ash tray open and closed. So I am pretty sure it will fit in the ash tray. Good luck with it man, Im sure it will work out pretty well

Which TEIN coilovers are you getting? The CS's, or the SS's? I debated getting the EDFC, but with my CS dampers set on 7 in front, and 6 in back, the ride is so perfect that I've decided not to purchase the EDFC after all. Just my 0.02.

I am leaning toward the tein cs or tanabe pro5. I am ordering this mon and doing the install next monday. I have a couple of days to think about it. I would like to do some other mods like chrome door handles, visors, and roof spoiler. If I do the tanabe I can save the money to do the other mods as well at the same time
