Whenever I buy a new performance part I send a pm to about 40 different vendors on honda-tech. Recently I sent out for a price on the TEIN SS Coilovers with a edfc. Everyone is writing back saying different things but basically that they don't make a set made for 04+ TL's. Only for pre-03 models. But over 20 people on here have them. What's the deal? I want the best suspension for the money, that is going to have GREAT ride comfort on 19"s. Thanks for any help.

 

TEIN does make a setup for the 04+ TL. However, the EDFC doesn't work without modifying the stock strut bar.

And instead of PMing H-T vendors why not PM Acurazine vendors? We are more knowledgeable about your vehicle apparently and we have great deals too.

 

Pm sent.

 

If you are looking for Teins on your TL you need to ask people here on acurazine not honda-tech. You'll get all the right answers here.

 

you should talk with excelerate because it they are an official vendor for the site and it seems that they know alot. i haven't seen any with the edfc though

 

How necessary is the edfc? I only use honda-tech because there are over 200 vendors and they will battle for my business. A parts dealer is a parts dealer. I get all my product knowledge from acurazine not honda-tech.

 

EDFC is not "necessary" at all. It just automates the adjustment process. You can do the same thing with a wrench and some time. IOW - it's a convienence. You have to decide if you're willing to pay for it.

A dealer is a dealer except the one's where you're getting "all your product knowledge" are paying the bills that keep the site running. If they are within a few dollars, why not buy from them?

 

EDFC- is motor unit that adjust the small place a the top of each shock itself- normally you would insert an allen wrench in there- it has a click setting for each position
Total time to adjust manually- seconds

edfc does not adjust ride height- that requires the 2 special lock nut wrenches for the spring perch/base height included with your new coilovers

MrHeelToe and Excelerate are both factory authorized Tein dealers and acurazine sponsors and can hook you up

Note to all: Tein has announced price increase of approx 40 $ per coilover SET,
thats all 4 shocks and springs, starting Feb 1.

All their dealers have to raise the price then too, act fast~

 

Where is a good place to get some a set of Teins? Might as well get them before they go up haha.

 

You say seconds to adjust but everyone says that you have to take out the back seat everytime. And that it's a pain in the ass.

 

The non edfc method to adjust:
Fronts- open hood- remove rubber cap from shock top- insert tool and twist
Rears, make a small hole in the rear deck behind rear seat headrest for tool, can be covered with many types of normal caps/plugs found on the car so its invisable
Then its stick tool in hole and twist.

The edfc is way cool- and once a good front bar for gen3 is out- many more ziners will get it for fun and fine tuning at the track
