Do you have the EDFC motors and controllers too Potz?

If you do, do you think its worth the extra money to get them as well, or is it easy enough to adjust the dampening without them.

TIA

We've installed plenty of TEIN springs on the Acura TL platform. What do you want to know? It will be slightly firmer, but not stiff. It will lower the car a fair amount. TEIN also has two different springs too depending on what you want.

i dont have edfc as i dont need it.. its my daily car that i use for work so really i dont see the use in it.

i have a fwd so not really track worthy.. i just modded my car a fair amount.. lip kit, wheels, atlp exhaust and suspension.. the basics and now i have nothing i need to install.

the fronts are easy, the rears, you will have to remove the rear seat to get to it which is not a problem.

All i was looking for was about 1.5 inch drop and a little firmer drive. which it gives.
