I have the tein EDFC active pro on my sti. There is two settings. One is faster and one is smoother. The smooth setting feels like your driving on a cloud around corners and the other feels like the car is planting the outside wheels to the ground. Best desicion I ever made for the DD and performance of my car.
This is gratifying to hear. I've got this set up along with flex a coilovers waiting to go on my 08. I've heard from owners of other cars mostly liking the system but not anyone that had it installed on any generation sti. For how much it all cost when said and done you're talking of being in the price range of some kw or similar coilovers.
RSD, in your experience, is the optional strut kit even necessary? I mean in your shop car, did the wires ever become tangled without the strut kit? Would love to hear your feedback since I'm debating buying the Active Pro kit soon for my BRZ but don't feel like taking apart the strut/top hat just to install EDFC strut kit. Forgot to mention I'm running Tein Street Flex currently for coilovers.
+lrnlrn If you set up the coilover damping with them correctly the car should absolutely be faster, plus it makes those adjustments sooo much easier, so you can test out different settings on the fly for any conditions. Thanks, Rick
It will be a direct bolt on with the Tein suspension and I would imagine it would take some custom work to get it to fit on another brand of suspension. Thanks, Rick
It's painful to watch.... well to listen to LOL. But the raw files for this disappeared back in 2015 so looks like we are stuck with it :) Thanks, Rick
@@rallysportdirect if only i knew how, the dash is open software i can display everything on erath but the damper Controller is its own product. Yk what i mean?
So for a little over $600 you don't even get the motors to use on the coil overs, at first I was okay with the price thinking it came with everything but now I think I'll pass. It's an additional $170 for the motors, why not just include them with the kit.
It makes perfect sense. Not every car uses the same motors. Many cars don't even use the same motors on the front coilovers as the back coilovers. And i don't believe all the different size motors cost the same either. So it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense to have packages set up for every different set up that might be needed.
@@darkknight097 I don't remember the exact cost now but it was somewhere around $900 to get the active pro, the motors, the gps sensor and the wire mounts for the front motors to make sure the wiring can't get tangled on anything due to the front wheels needing to turn unlike the rears. And that was on top of $900 for a set of tein flex a coilovers. For $1800 you could certainly get yourself one hell of a set of static, set it and forget it coilovers. But that really isn't a crazy price for a suspension that can change it's dampening not only at the at the push of a button as you please, but can do so on its own, based off speed and do each corner independent of the others for whatever is best for your current settings and driving situation. How much do people think it costs to put a basic, 3 setting active suspension in production cars these days?
@donmerrigan2362 And them prices still haven't changed, lol. The EDFC Active is around 650 with the motors, and about another 150 for GPS. The Flex Z coilovers I have cost 850 so rounded off thats $1500 for something that will cost thousands more from factory or other aftermarket manufacturers of the same type of system.

When you bought the active pro kit did you have to buy the motors separately?
I was thinkin of gettin these but , 600$ just to adjust dampening plus the 1k on coils doesnt make sense to me. Might as well go with air bags
how about the oil leaks on that subie and the smoke

How much does it cost to install and how many hours exactly did it take for you guys to install.
The demo kit was amazing showing how active it actually is. On the short list.
IT really is incredible how it works and how it works so quickly and effectively :)
Thanks,
Rick
The background music is too loud or its just me ?!
Perhaps a bit too loud :)
Rick
Yah it was at the point where I felt I was being affected by other noise
too loud, too annoying and unnecessary!
Awesome demo. I’m sold!!

It's been awhile since we installed this kit but if I remember correct we did not use the strut kit and it worked out just fine.
Thanks,
Rick
Thanks for the reply. I've already purchased the the full EDFC to include the strut kit from your website. Better safe than sorry. Thanks again.
any chance you know where i can connect the orange wire on signal converter to frs
haha I still watch this for the part where he goes "dance, little guys! dance!"
haha thanks! :)
Rick
Would love to see if this would actually help me drive faster or if it's just cool to say you have

Awesome!
this is work only with Tein Suspension ?
It will be a direct bolt on with the Tein suspension and I would imagine it would take some custom work to get it to fit on another brand of suspension.

is that realy work ?
Surprisingly well. :)

Thumbs down 👎🏻 remove the music.

Hi, Is this working for all TEIN coilovers ?
Not all of them, you can go here to see if the EDFC kit will work with your current or future setup: www.tein.com/srch/us_edfc_search.php
Thanks!
I realy want to integrate this in to my digital dash
Do it!!!
@@rallysportdirect if only i knew how, the dash is open software i can display everything on erath but the damper Controller is its own product. Yk what i mean?
@@Einfach_der_geilste Did you figure it out?
so what would I need for the complete setup? The active pro and what else?
+rallysportdirect are the old motors compatible?
Can you adjust height with the unit or a different unit?
No, this will not adjust height and will only be for the damping adjustment.
Thanks,
Rick
Will this help to stop me scraping up speed bumps?
anyone have any reports of people using this in autocross yet? Could it work fast enough for autocross?
I have not personally, but they react incredibly quick so I think it would be ideal for autocross.
Thanks,
Rick
I have use them now in autocross and I must day my sti had the Lamborghini handling now.
