Stance gr+ pro

but i want the electronic control stuff

[smocan]

Shut up about stance already. Read the post, I swear 95% of you guys see the word coilover and you respond stance... and more than half don't even have coilovers on their car.

I'd go tein flex... best for the money. But hey, if you got 2500 to blow, get the sevens. Honestly, they are all good choices. I haven't ever personally used the fives or tein ss though.

I love my Tanabe Seven

Tanabe Pro Seven with TEAS. So, so amazing. EDFC is a joke compared to TEAS if you're going for the electronic thing.

The prices you listed are ridiculous though, don't pay anywhere close to that. I got my Sevens for only 1600 and the TEAS for only 500. Saved a whole lot of money.

EDFC vs. TEAS, EDFC doesn't have an automatic mode based on speed and it's not meant to be real-time, so there's a slight lag. TEAS adjusts in fractions of a second even while driving.

I can't personally comment on the coils themselves as I've never ridden in a car with Teins and I'm not one to spew other opinions as fact. I've only HEARD better things about the Tanabes, and from my experience they are absolutely amazing.

Philipio is right on the money. I haven't messed with TEAS as much as EDFC, but I never really thought anyone would need real time adjustments and automatic modes unless your really a serious track driver, but thats just me... But yea, good info philipio.

Maybe give us some more info on what you intend to do with your car.... I'm kind of interested in seeing what these coils will go on.

Hell, it's surprisingly useful just for daily driving. If you're about to hit a bump or dip in the road, crank down the dampening really quickly.

The automatic mode's useful for just about anything really. Keeps the ride the way you want it all the time. If you're about to get on the highway and don't want a really bouncy ride for example, you can set it to automatically increase the dampening so you don't have to mess with anything, and the ride becomes a lot more comfortable.

I personally think it's worth the money even if you're not tracking.

^sounds like active suspension on luxury cars hmmm...

[BigMACKenzie]

so its like the EDFC but more user friendly and more like an active suspension? if you can adjust on the fly like that, it sounds pretty rad.
