Default EDFC settings - drift!!!!

I've just bought an edfc for my tein coilovers and was wondering what would be the best setup (front and rear) for a bit of the old sideways action?
'93 wrx with standard diff

cheers
Mark.

Hi Mark, not sure if there will be many with experience of edfc on here- it might be worth asking on the MLR site as there are quite a lot of them using it over there.

i did thought that when i first brought the car, on the EDFC unit there are small prints of + = soft - = Hard.

its also stated on the EDFC manual.

its better to check it out

Deffo... 0 is softest on mine... Actually... Turn left for soft and right for hard... Maybe thats the way the edfc works and therefore setting 0 would = hardest setting...

Also what do you mean your suspension is "noisy"???

If you want the back end to be more mobile, you basically need the rear hard and the front soft. Simple as that. By doing that the rear end will break traction a lot easier than the front, when cornering.
