Only such setup I know of is the Tein EDFC. And no... it doesnt fit, the servo motors on the front struts are too big to fit under the bonnet.

found a company a while ago that i think had electronic adjusting aswell but i forgot the name... long name and they only had a simple cheap website. I think it had a T in it...

tryed to find em just then but i found out that Tanabe make a kit aswell...... don't think they make anything to suit the FTO though. they'll fit on the front from evo 2-6.5 IIRC though, maybe up to evo9. so you could use them and fit teins on the back but its a waste of money really when you can just get out and adjust htem yourself, i reckon, for a much cheaper price.

Might be remembering wrong but i think Tein have revised their edfc and it's now smaller. May fit now.

Correct... however remember this is only Dampning controll... cant adjust height of car..

I was talking to a tein rep at AS and asked him same question and said exactly what sam said. Damper control but no such thing as ride height control without going for the airbag setup like the gangster hopping cars, but doing that seriously fucks up your handling

Yeah i know it doesn't do height. Gotta get the C spanner out for that one.

EDFC is cool though.
I remember when i had my fto...when i had female passengers with me, i'd quickly pop the bonnet and dial in softest then move the carpet in the boot a bit and go softest.

Soon as they were off, it was 5 clicks front and 3 clicks rear

Damn an edfc would've been handy for that...or when i had to go down parramatta or kingsgrove road

yeah i'm not so much looking at changing the ride height while driving

just dampering... 1 of the reasons i'm looking into this is because i cant decide what i want... my spin in tact or going faster around corners lol

i have read a bit about Tanabe while i was at work, seems kinda cool... with that said... i think i'll start saving up lol

It does seem that the new Tein units are available - not yet tested on an FTO thou by the looks of it...

Well, here's how you can find out:

Yang do you know how easy it is to change damper on normal adjustables (like mine). it takes like 20 secs

Post by **Bennoz** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 5:50 pm

But its so much cooler not having to get out of the car

Post by **I8A4RE** » Mon Feb 18, 2008 6:22 pm

yeah thats why i never adjust mine. just keep it on the herdest setting and then drive along the motorway hobbling, while im watching the chic's boobs next to me going up and down, quite mesmerising hahaha
