for those of you with the tien ss coilovers, what setting do you have the dampening set at? do you have the front and rear at the same setting? and how's the ride at that setting? i tried the recommended setting from tien, but it felt a little stiff for my liking.

8 clicks back from full clockwise or stiff is what TEIN recommends. If you want softer go 12 clicks back (to 4) and that will get you a ride similar to OEM.

...or you could just get the Tein Electronic Dampening Force Control (EDFC) and adjust it whenever you want. I have my rears a little stiffer than the front, for the most part. However, I have th EDFC and am constantly changing the settings depending on the road.

EDFC? didn't even know about that. where did you get it? how much? and how does it integrate into the tien ss?

I guess it only works with Tein SS-P (not sure which ones you have)

Essentially, the EDFC is a control unit and 4 motors. The motors mount on the top of the coilovers and control dampening settings through the control unit. You can adjust the front and rear independently and you can store 3 different settings with the preset buttons. Personally, I have my presets on (1)both at 0, (2)front 8 rear 7, and (3)both at 12 or 14 (not sure what the highest is offhand). I usually use the middle setting for everyday driving and the i'll switch between the others depending on the road conditions. Pricing through Tein is on the top link above, but I'm pretty sure there are vendors in Azine that you can get them through. Let me know if you have any other questions about it.

wow that sucks. i have the ss and not the ss-p. but i find it strange that they have one for the tl tien ss but not on the cl. i wonder why it wouldn't work. i'm almost tempted to buy it and see if i can modify it to work, but not for $400.

not enough hood clearance for the motors... but i guess you can just use it for the rears so you dont have to take the seats out

yeah i was thinking that, but for $400..........not so sure. if i do, it looks like they make two models. do i just get the one for the tien ss-p?

There isn't enough hood clearance as was said. Don't bother attempting it. You can adjust the dampening with the allen key provided. You don't need the EDFC to do so. It just does the job electronically and from teh cabin.
