So after about a year of having these in my basement, I finally got them put on today. Only things left to do is install the EDFC and do a four wheel alignment. I ended up with one main question though....What ride height should it be set at? I know Tein lists a set of measurements on their site, but is that what everyone uses? I just wanted to get some feedback from people who have these installed and what they have them set at. I am completely clueless as to how high/low to set them.

Thanks in advance!

 

just letting you know, our maximas only can do front wheel alignments...if u pay them to do a 4 wheel, they will still write it on the invoice and charge u more...but they won't be able to adjust anything in the rear...so save the $15 and get a 2 wheel alignment

i would say a 2.5 inch drop would be best compromise

 

what is the stock ride height?

 

i heard its 28 inches flat in the front...rear is about 27.25

 

When it's done let us know how the ride quality and handling is.

 

Im sure illbe on here quite a bit in the next few days discussing this. At this point, Im not too happy, but I might just need to do some adjusting. Everytime I hit a bump, one of my rear tires bottoms out, and its so stiff right now, its not even funny. Course, I didnt do any adjustments yet as it got cold and I just drove home. Ill be putting on the EDFC as I said tomorrow and putting the camber bolts in.


We shall see...........

 

post some pics!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Now heres my dumb question, whats a EDFC?

 

Electronic Dampening Force Controller

 

good to know. Thanks!

 

The ride quality is great! I have no problems from my Tiens SS w/EDFC. As far as the riding hieght its up to you. I say as long as you leave enough room for your wheels to turn depending on the size of your tires, should be fine (Front wheels that is). No, I am not sure what my drop is. The EDFC is a wonderful feather though: Full stiff to medium stiff to full soft at a push of a bottom. Very Nice! It handles wonderfully also. Dont know what I would do without them.

 

I will if you guys still want pics of the EDFC and coilovers.

 

So how do you deal with the front end "twang" of the springs when you turn the wheels? thats killin me....

See this Link and read the Last line, its very important!

 

I did that. Why do I still have it?

 

update....

check the 5th gen classifieds.......

 

These are tien SS? right? maybe the barings are bad. How old are the original barings?

 

As old as the car. So like 4 years.

 

My first thought would be to get new ones. I believe being that the barings are so old that they didnt take the transfer to well. But thats all I can think of, because thats the noise that mine was making before I realized that the barings where not installed.
