I thought there wasn't enough clearance to use edfc on civics?

I've got HAs and am now getting rid of them, so I won't vote.

I'm not sure, I know there are certain strut bars you can't use if you're planning on getting the EDFC. Mugen is one of them. I haven't heard of clearence issues with the hood on an EG though.

They have on their website that the kit will fit 92-95 eg's so they must fit but they might have fitment issues with strut bars...if it interferes with my planned Benen strut triangle then I might leave off on the edfc and go with the RE's

Buddy Club Racing Spec Dampers, Zeal B6, or Apex N1 Pro...

I would never spend my cash on Tien.

For a streetcar that will see racing days on roadcourses? I would go for the N1 series from Tein... I could easily take the harsh ride on the street especially if the payoff is that on track the car is handling absolutely superb




and you might look to buy them thru-

Tein no longer imports the Type HA damper system. If you want something similar to Type HA you have to get the Type SS. The only small diff between the two is that the Type SS don't have a helper spring.

i've got HA's, but if money weren't an issue, i'd get the flex's, because they come with the upper pillow mounts, and they are EDFC compatible.

Flex....because you can adjust the height without affecting the preload. I guess.
