Tein SS

It's getting to time where I need to replace my struts currently I using sprint springs 2" drop with stock struts..I have 2 options 1). Koni shocks(struts). Or tein ss. I'm more leaning to tein so that I could have the luxury of adjustability with the edfc. Then there's that nut at around $1400 there not cheap,but for the features I don't mind the price..Really want to know how long would they last riding on the lowest it can go which I think is 2"

Consider the cost of replacing the OE strut tower bar too. If you go with Koni's you can just drill a small hole to access the adjuster. Using EDFC and OE bar is worthless and not recommended since you would have cut up the bar so much, reducing/eliminating the rigidity of the part.

From what I've read, the rear is the same deal. A hole must be drilled to access the top adjuster. You could use a grommet or something on the rear shelf cover to hide the edge of the hole to clean up the appearance. Some kits offer knob extenders, or you could make your own.

After reading about all this stuff and looking at the options, and the fact that I didn't need the damper adjust-ability for my DD TL, I went with a non damper adjustable coilover kit.
