I have been reading this with interest

I have the monoflex on my classic which is a hillclimb/sprint car. The problem i am experiencing is that the car is too stiff, there is no movement at all in the suspension. Had a chap stand on the strut tops at the weekend and bounce on the car with only mm movement. Changing the damper setting from hard to soft makes little noticable difference.

Interested to know anyones experience of this suspension. I purchased because of the 'entry level motorsport' but you need compliance and adjustment for motorsport and so far i can get neither

any thought/comments gratefully received

cheers za

I have an EDFC unit sitting in the car doing nothing, since one of the rear monoflex struts disintigrated i fitted HKS hipermax sport.....what a mistake the springs are 12kg/mm and 10kg/mm front and rear compared to the Teins 7 and 5........threw the car all over the place and made braking a lottery! I've now created a hybrid of the HKS dampers with 8 and 6 kg springs..the car is a track machine so these work fine.

Anyway the EDFC comprises a small control module, cables( probably the heaviest bit) and 4 small motors, can't weigh even 2kg total.
Can't remember what it cost new but can soon look it up, if i get it all stripped out would be pleased to sell for say 40% of purchase price, plus postage...still have instructions too.

Bigarf.

do you got the Tein Flex or Tein Mono Flex. It's a difference between them.

One is the price. The Flex is about £1200 and the Mono Flex is about £1600.

okey. I'm trying to decide witch coilovers to get. Flex or Mono Flex. Maybe even AST Sportline. I've also looked at the KW V3 and Clubsport. One thing i don't like about the AST's and KW's is that there dosen't have independent adjustments for ride-height and spring pre-load settings like the Teins.

I got Super Street's now and want a good upgrade. I'm upgrading the whole chassis
for this season. The car isn't a daily driver. It's a weekend/fun
times car that hit the tracks a few times a year.

All this is new for this season:

GT Spec Adjustable Lateral Camber Arms
GT Spec Rear Trailing Arm Set
WHITELINE - 24mm Adjustable Front ARB
WHITELINE - 24mm Adjustable Rear ARB
Whiteline 24mm Sway Bar Aluminum Lateral Lock Kit x 2
Whiteline Gearbox Positive Shift Kit
SUPER PRO - HEAVY DUTY STEERING RACK BUSHES - 30mm
SUPER PRO - FRONT ROLL CENTRE ADJUSTMENT KIT
SUPER PRO - Front Control Arm Lower, Inner Front Bush kit
SUPER PRO - Rear Differential Support Bracket Mount Bush Kit
Powerflex - Rear Tie Bar To Hub Rear Bush
Powerflex - Rear Beam Mount
CDF Racing - Anti lift kit
CDR Racing - Rear Drop links
Brembo calipers from New Age STI front and rear
Performance Friction 2 piece discs front - 326x30mm
DBA4000 discs rear 316x20mm
Stoptech Streeet performance pads front and rear for the street
Performance Friction 01 pads front and rear for the track
steelbraided brake hoses
Performance Friction RH665 brakefluid
