Tien SS & EDFC

Hey, does anybody have Tien SS Coilovers and the EDFC unit??

Would LOVE to see some install Pics too, where ya mounted the EDFC etc,etc.

I am thinking about doing it, but the whole thing is probably gonna run me close to $2000 installed.

The EDFC allows you to adjust the dapening of the shock. It has 32 setting from soft to stiff. I would definitely recommend you to get the EDFC if you are getting the TEIN SS.

I agree with him...... the EDFC has 16 different setting to adjust the dampening. or if you want a finer level of tuning , you can make it 32 way adjustable.. kinda like a fine tunig... they are little black boxes with motors on the inside... they sit atop of the shock and they turn as the level of dampening is needed... its an absolute must if you go with the SS's...
probably pick the SS's up for around 850-1000 and the EDFC will probably run 350 or so.... i had a buddy install the SS's for me... the EDFC i did myself... took all day, but gratifing to know that i did it and didn't mess anything up...

Thanks guys. I will definitely have this mod in my list. How much will be the typical installation cost? Will I spend more than $2000 on this mod with labor?

i installed it myself, so it's free. If you have all the tools, it would be a fun project to do.

If not, I would guess installation would run about $400 or so.

Make sure you understand that the strut tower bar has to be modified or replaced and I don't think you can buy one specfically for a 3G-TL to bolt right in.

There are a lot of treads describing the use of Accord top hats and a strut bar for the Accord, but you end up having to drill an extra hole in the tower.

Others have cut the existing bar to expose the top, but without some additional metal welded in, it looks like the strength could be affected.

Drill the hole and get the accord hats. It's one hole. It won't hurt a thing.

Measure twice, drill once.

I can give you prices on the parts if you like. Install tune on the coilovers and the EDFC will run about 6-8 hours and then whatever the shop rate is.

I might take you on that offer if there is an upcoming NY meet, I am in Brooklyn now, but will be moving to queens soon. So LI is not too far.

I need to ride in the TIEN setup to know if I would like the decrease in ride qaulity compared to stock.
