I don't have them, but I like to hear what you say if YOU do. I was looking at the Super Street Coilovers.

i was about to get ss, but ended up getting flex. pretty much the same except the flex is a bit stiffer. but the dampening and the height on the flex are totally independent. meaning you're not necessarily going stiffer the lower you go.

i like the flex. i've got them set to the softest setting right now, and they ride very close to stock. set them to the stiffest, and you're talking about teeth chattering ride. sort of makes me wish that i just went with tein coilovers when i started modding the suspension. it would have saved me so much money with all the different setups i've tried.

do you have the EDFC controller?

no. it's just a motor that attaches to the top of each shock where the adjustment dials are. wires are run from the four motors to the edfc unit inside of the car so you can adjust the dampening from inside the car. i don't see it as a big deal to get out and adjust the dampening, so didn't bother picking one up.

i hear that, but i thought the EFDC is not too expensive. 250? i can blow that at the bar buying some beeyach drinks. i'll just have to chill out on the beeyachs for a night. not too bad a sacrifice.

no, it's not too expensive. i was just too lazy to run the wires and figure out where i want to mount the controller. :p
