I know, I've been out of comission for awhile, but I'm getting back into swing. This stuff is going to go on my 99' Prelude. :)

I love them too, they look even better in person. I actually picked a set of two up for $350 on ebay. Not too shabby. I might return the EDFC though and downgrade the SS for the basics so I can save for a project car or something, I'm still throwing ideas around in my head. :cool:

I tried calling you the other day, I even left you a message. Where were you?? WHERE WERE YOU?!?! Just kidding. I guess if I was serious about drifting I would buy a 240sx, but I'm just looking to have a little fun in the lude doing autocross or some shit. GIve me a call brownie. ;NutKick;

electronically adjustable coilovers? Just curious, never seen anything like that.
Good choice. I have their springs on my hatch. RIDES so SMOOTH. Better than stock.

Yeah, TEIN makes them. You can electronically adjust the dampers from inside the car. TEIN makes the worlds best suspensions in quality and performance, without question.

Right on Pang. Do you have the S-Techs, or the H?

Now that's fuckin awesome. Kris, let me know when you do this install, I'd like to come help/watch and meet another luder.

I will for sure. I was talking to Brian (Forum) and we thought it would be cool one day to meet up and take pics of our cars, an older lude, a 4th gen, and my 5th gen. Those would make for some sweet pics.

Let's do it, my car's dropped now too so it don't like all gay anymore, just needs wheels and paint to finish the exterior off. But yea, when do you plan on installing...? Send me a PM, I'd love to check it out. :)

The thing about TEIN is that only their "SS Dampers" and higher are compatible with the EDFC. The dampers run about $1000, but it is a full damper system, down to the dust covers and screws. Just drop out your old suspension, and put the new one right in. The EDFC goes for about $400 which isn't bad at all considering the quality.

I owe about $300 more on the dampers and then I can pick them up. Like I said though... I may return the EDFC and trade in the SS's for the basics. The only difference is that the basics ride quality cannot be adjusted. Only the height. Still bad ass nontheless.

I found an old 92' 240sx for only $2000 with 150k. That's why.

lol. You think they make a set of 9000 ES shocks for my S2000? I would have saved about $1200 from my current setup with those.

Congrats on getting those toys. This should be badass on the prelude. How does the tint look?

Okay, so maybe you don't agree. All I know is that I bought a great system and it's definantly quality, so to me... I guess that's all that matters right???

Ease up Kris. The comment about the Ranchos wasnt meant for you. It was a joke. If it makes you feel any better, Teins are great parts, just not the best in the world like your previous comment.
Enjoy them.

I misunderstood. I thought you were trying to clown on me or something. Sorry about jumping the gun, it just kinda pissed me off because I thought we were cool and all. Anyways, it's kinda obvious that I'm a HUGE fan of Tein and Greddy... so I'm always going to praise them. Probably even overpraise half the time. :)
