Im just wanting to know what everybody thinks about Tanabe Suspension with the electronic dampering. Or do u think i should just go with the Tein Flex with the EDFC. My car is a 92 Drop Top S13 with RB25DET. The Tanabe is a little cheaper and didnt know if I should buy.

But before anything, you should have searched. With that being said, heres a thread that explains the worthlessness of electronic dampening adjustment.

Read naed's post about half way down.

The higher end Tein stuff is okay, but way overpriced for what it is -- especially when dampers as cheap as KTS and Stance are matching it's performance for MUCH less.

Electronic damping adjustment is a ****ing gimmick. Get out of the car, pop your hood, and turn your click knobs. I promise, you won't pull any important muscles doing it.
