heard the same rumour.. they're supposed to hit the market sometime this year... I'm not waiting though... my new car needs handling... Flex it is I think...

I just hope the new system will be optional, like the EDFC... that would be the ****

I think it's retarded. At what height are you going to get an alignment? The alignment settings will be completely thrown off at different heights. On the other hand it's mad tiiiight JDM j0!!!!!!!!!!!!11

This is the one sole reason for not getting something like this. Anything that can raise/lower the height without messing the up would be slick, but it'd probably be some kinda unit that weighs as much as my car. If tein can make something that is just that awesome(minus the weight), then I'd for sure go for it - but i don't think it is possible.

Why not? the link given is for something entirely different...

rumours I heard say that Tein is coming out with a system that does the turning of the lower spring seat for you... so raising and lowering the car, just like the EDFC does for bound/rebound...

so that doesn't have to be heavy at all...

you're right about the alignment though... but why not align your car for the setup you use most (DD for instance) and just slam it for shows and prob have another setting for track / road racing?

using it in the same way you would use the EDFC?

anyways... IF the rumours are true and are not about this wagon system... I only hope they make it, like the EDFC, a bolt-on-later system...

Would make it a nice addition to the Flex I have on order

tein has come out with that push button suspension in japan already.. my friend was thinking of getting that or bags for his xb.. he showed me the pic of it like a few months ago.. it was in a japanese tein catalogue.. i think it was about 3500 for the setup..
