Whats the lowest you can drop the car with these coilovers and does anyone know if the edfc is worth it? how much does the edfc weigh?

The EDFC is not worth it...it takes all of 2 seconds to adjust the front struts and 2 minutes to adjuts the back...you just have to pul back the carpet which isn't hard....

Ok, to make things clear the edfc and the Tein Flex are two different things.

The Tein Flex is the suspension where as the EDFC is a small box around 4 inchs by 5 inchs which adjust the damping settings from inside your car. If you dont feel like going under your hood and inside you trunk to adjust the setting then go for it. If not save the extra 375.oo and go buy some beer.

As low as you wanna go. Seriously, you can slizzam your ride if you really want with the flex, but I wouldn't recommend it if you want a car that will actually handle and not go through tierods every week.

EDFC is a gimmick. It works, but how often does a person really change their shock settings? You have a daily driven setup and a race setup. Just change before you race. Takes 1 minute to hop out of the car.

EDFC would be good when you are testing to find the best settings.

To me its worth it, its not being lazy IMO, its just faster access when needed.
If you road race you will understand, specially if you are in the middle of a lap and decided to change your settings.
Not to mention, having the EDFC gives you the ability to change the settings from street settings to fwy/hwy settings in a push of a button, which I like better than pulling over in the fwy/hwy.
Also, talk to your nearest distrubitor about the price, 380 is Teins list price, so they can do alot better than that.

BTW- Is it just my Teins that the rear doesnt lower as much as the front?
The front can get real low, but not the rear. I have the rears as much as you can lower it and I still have a finger gap.
