First Impressions/TEINS SS/AVS ES100/EIBACHS ANTI ROLL BARS

Hey everyone,
Just got my car back from the shop here in Jersey. Got the TEINS SS installed with the EDFC, 215/50/17 Yoko AVS ES100 tires and EIBACH ANTI ROLL BARS. Let me tell what a difference. First the TEINS. Handling is improved ten fold and being able to change the dampening on the go is great. The car rides stiff but not at all back breaking. Even on the stiffest settings. Next the tires AVS ES 100. When I got my used TYPE-S it had miss matched tires. I had Ventus in front and the terrible Michellens in the back. In the future I will get aftermarket rims but what a differnce with these tires. Lst but not least the EIBACH antiroll bars. The car taked the turns and twists with ease.

PS. By the way I got lucky. When I bought the car it already had INJEN COLD AIR INTAKE AND COMPTECH HEADERS!!!


Thanks for everyones advice!!

I mounted the EDFC underneath the radio where the ashtray was. Perfect spot

Thanks. I will post up some picks as soon as I can. The wheel gap is about one finger thickness front and back.

The EDFC is an electronic control box that lets you adjust the damping on all 4 shocks/coilovers by pushing a few buttons.

It also has 3 memory settings. I use one for crappy roads (soft), normal driving (in the middle), and for smooth windy roads when I feel like pushing it. (Stiff)

I mounted mine in the Glove box, and if you have Teins, you have to get the EDFC; its worth every penny.

Heres a link to it

P.S. Those Yokos are nice tires; grip like glue, but the treadlife is a little short. You do know that they are summer only tires right? Not meant for the snow at all. Just wanted to make sure since you like in NJ

Actually the pic in my sig has my 19's on. The links in my sig can get you all the info on them

The EDFC can pretty much be had for $350. Install took me several hours. I removed the back seat, rear deck, center console, glove box. It wasnt hard, just tedious
