What coilovers next?
I have a full set of Tein Superstreet coilovers with edfc, now already gone for the higher rate spring on front and moved fronts to rear, but still not happy with set up even with Carnetix track/fast road setup
Now i do really want to stick the Teins as i love the edfc, which selection would you guys recommend bearing in mind i do fair few trackdays and running in Scoobysprint(when carfixed
)
Check garage out for full handling set up, not much more i could do!

It feels a slight bogged down and tad sloppy, looking through some cornering pics u can see it looks like a wallowing boat
After something to slot straight in and give tight more responsive feed back. Dont get me wrong this set up now is amazing on b road blasts and people have commented how good, but get on track

You have the wrong set of Teins for regular track work mate. You should have been directed towards the Tein Monoflex kit which has higher spring rates. They also do even more focused track suspension...
No way would I run something that stiff on the road though: I find the superstreet kit more than firm enough!
Might be cheaper for you to speak to Tein and ask them if they can supply you with harder springs and re-valve your dampers to suit....that way you can keep the EDFC too!

Really, I would have thought this was a generic fitment?
It's especially important that you speak to Tein then! They have a UK service/upgrad/repair centre. Check out their website for details.

There are different EDFC setup's for different dampers/cars, the control unit and wiring are the same, but the motors are different, some have different size motors on front to back aswell.
Glad to here the car is going to be fixed mate
, i found the teins plently hard enough for road use
