Re: (SpeedXRacer)
it's a little over his budget but not by much.. but then again.. why get the flex if you're not gonna dish out another 300 bucks for the EDFC???... if you're not going to get the EDFC, you might as well go with some used RA's..... then again you might even be able to find some used Flex...

Re: (03s2kblue)
I could probably dish out a little more money for a good setup. How much will the flex cost with the EDFC brand new? and where is the best place to get them from?

Re: (Y2K_S2K)
evolution autosports had a gb on the tein flex with edfc a while back on http://www.s2ki.com ... the whole setup for a little over $1600 shipped...
i've got it on my car and i love it... you can slam the car down all the way to the groud..
... and the edfc is great.... i'll post some pics of it if i have time and the rain stops to go take some pictures...

Re: (03s2kblue)
just out of curiousity, when u adjust your height up and down doesn't that distort the alignment. So that would mean that everytime you adjust the height even a tad bit, u'd have to realign. I have never had adjustable suspension so sorry if the question seems out of place. But am I right?

Re: (boostcrazy19)
yes everytime you adjust it you will have to get an alignment done... .. if you just change it like one time around then it doesn't really matter but if you do a couple of turns then you'll probably want to get one done... alignments arent' that expensive so it's well worth it...

Re: (03s2kblue)
here's the pics...
it shows the set up in the engine bay, where i placed the edfc, and the drop... i didn't show the rear setups cause it was still drizzling outside and didn't feel like taking the spare out and stuff to get to it.....

I bought teins solely for the purpose of very aggressive daily driving. I wanted a stiff suspension plus my #1 reason for Teins was I can get it rebuilt here in the US. I was going to buy the zeal function b6's but decided against it... I thought it would be more difficult to get them rebuilt.
