The ride is very soomth, it feels like you're on track. I thought my steering got bit heavier, but it was just due to the miss alingment. Also there is less body roll.
As for the cover, the unit itself is quite thick so I don't know if I could cover it up by coin holder. I might go to some audio shop and ask them to make me some cover if possible.

That's a pretty good place to put it. I'm still thinking of a place to install it when I get mine done.

Looks great! get a body kit and it will look even better!
how many threads do you have on the bottom of the coilover? I like the height of your car. If possible could you count the thread on the fronts and backs? Thanks!

Thanks for responding with where and how you had the EDFC installed. I think what you had done is pretty cool! However, I will still install mine in the center console under the armrest. Concealment is my game. Thanks for the description on the install. I'll use it next weekend.

armanixsouljah:

I got everything for $1340 including an installation. The installation itself was about 3 hours. To put the coilovers in, it was only matter of 30 minutes or so. Finding the hole on the firewall was kind of tough.

goldendragon576:

I'll try to count the thread. But all I did was measure the all over height of stock shocks/springs, and measured the coilover height. And do a little math, and I adjusted the front to be 1.5" lower/shorter than stock suspension and 1" lower/shorter than stock in rear. The rear was actually bit too short, so I had to raise it a bit to make it 1" lower/shorter. I hope this helps.

fun03TLS:

I'm glad that I was able to help you, I hope you'll post your pic too once you get it installed.

To not take a credit, installation was done at Garage Kwai in Chicago. I'll recommend them, very good service!

do you plan on keeping it the same height all year round or raise and lower it in the summer and winter? You also have to do an alignment every time you raise and lower it right?

I got the spoiler from my father's friend who used to work for Mugen in Japan, I paid about $100 or so. But you can get it from King Motor Sports for $350, I think.

Thanks for the comment!

I think you can go low as -3" compared to the stock height. Mine is dropped only -1.5" in front and -1" in rear.
