The ride quality is splendid! I've the shocks set to maximum stiffness, a bit bouncy, but very sport feel and handling. The EDFC can't be used with the Tein SS model because the SS wasn't designed for it. The Tein HAs will work, but the only application that fits our car right now is the SS.

Hey how hard is it to adjust the height of the Teins SS Coilovers? I don't know much about them but do you need to do a lot of work to change the ride height or are they easy to get at?

Looks awesome though, I love the shine on your car!

Thanks! The Teins aren't that hard to adjust. It comes with some tools to adjust the height. Probably take you roughly 30mins to adjust to the height you want...you may think this is long, but it's because you have to jack up the car and then lower it to check to make sure your height is perfect. It's time consuming but worth it when your done

i used to think the same way & that's why i'm waiting for the type flex. however, check the tein's website two days ago stating that the edfc model no. EDK01-10100 is compatible to the ss coilovers. check this out:

Hrmmm that's interesting...I gotta ask my friend. But as of yet, the EDFC will still not fit...I'm using the Teins SS for the Accord, not the TL ones...why? I honestly don't know...will ask my friend that too.

Thank you! I can't really say what the best coilovers are...each has it's nice features and everything...but I think the Teins have the best price for one of the best true coilovers. Ground Control is like $400, but that doesn't include shocks...whereas the Teins are $850 with adjustable springs and shocks. So Konis would cost about another $500 or so. On the other hand, the Tein's shocks and springs are manufactured to work with each other. I think Apexi used Koni adjustables also. But I went with Teins because they had the best price (with groupbuy of course) and they are a very reputable company in Japan for suspension.
