Anyone running tein ss on their fc?

Im highly interested in running tein ss suspension on my fc convertible (t2 swap). Just wondering how you guys like it?

Reason im asking is because i freaking love gadgets and electronics and I want to run the EDFC with it and really like the idea of having an adjustable suspension from inside the car without having to do all the manual labor and slaving on my knees and back underneath the car adjusting it.

i run a set of tein coilovers and i love them, but you really do loose the comfort hardcore. you feel every bump in the road... but i got them for handling not for comfort. with the 50/50 weight ratio coupled with tight suspention it makes if feel like your driving a severly overpowered go-cart.. lol in short, tein coilovers it the way to go

there's no slaving involved in adjusting damping on coilovers. edfc is a gimmick... but if you have money burning a hole in your pocket, go for it.

for the front you pop the hood and turn the ****.
if its inverted you get on your back, reach in under the car and turn the ****.
for the rear just pop off the dust covers and adjust.

if you are adjusting height you still need to 'slave away' with manual labor to adjust it. and height adjustment requires re-alignment, so its not something you will want to change often.
