Hey guys,

I'm sure some guys here are using one of these on their car. Anyone has the EDFC installed as well?

Are you guys having this problem below?

I have a set of GReddy Type S coil overs with the in car damper controller (I'll rip off TEIN and call it an edfc)

the coil overs work the treat they are fantastic, unfortunatly the same can't be said for the controller (edfc)

basically I've set them up correctly as far as I can tell, manually adjusted the stiffness on all 4 struts to the softest setting and installed the edfc controller and set to setting 1. Basically when you adjust it they aren't adjusting properly.

they have been securly screwed into place all 4 of them as far as they can and wired up correctly

to see if they work i adjust the system to full hard or setting 32, the motors make a pretty loud noise and finally stop at supposed level 32, but by about setting 28 they sound like they have reached the end as a sort of clicking or struggling noise happens.

I unscrewed the controller and put the manual adjuster back on to find yes it is at setting 32. Put the EDFC back on and set it back down to setting 1, the motors make their noises and finally stop this time no clicking noise. upon removing the EDFC motors once again I find that instead of going back to 1 they actually stopped at seems more like setting 14 or 15.

Now this has happened over and over again. I've tried callobrating from hardest to softest and after adjusting to stiffest to softest and back again the motors basically come out of sinc with the actual setting of the struts.

So bad that tonight after adjusting to setting 5 at the front and 4 at the rear (which is pretty soft) they were actually set to 28 at the left front and 31 on the right. I dont know what it is like on the rear i haven't taken the parcel shelf off since installing them.

NOW to get a few pointers right, I have done nothing to the system or coil overs in any way simply bolteded everything on. I can't read the instructions incase i am missing something as they are in Japanese. Am I supposed to put a little oil down into the damping of the strut?

NOW again to f**k with everyone after playing around with them for hours, taking them on and off adjusting manually and automaticlly to see if they were staying in sinc (which they appeared they aren't) ONE of the struts magically have started to work in total sinc AND dont make the knocking or clicking noise once they reach end.

I initially thought maybe there was something wrong with motors or EDFC conroller until i swapped the motors at the front over so what was on the left strut is now on the right and vice versa. To only find that the same strut or same side continued to work perfectly. So it can't be the unit. All struts feel the same when adjusting manually and all motors are screwed down as far as they can go but the problem still persists.

Also the working strut doesn't make as loud a noise when the motors are adjusting in fact it is almost silent.

What I am after is anyone who has the EDFC for either their GReddy coil overs or TEIN (as the GReddy EDFC looks exactly like the TEIN ones) and if you have had this problem or if I have missed something when installing them.

I have spent ages trying to figure this out. It doesn't make any sence why the motors and EDFC aren't staying in sinc with the Strut and why 3 out of the 4 motors sound different when adjusting when they are ALL screwed down as tight or deep as they can be as they can be.

Before you suggest I have also tried callobrating the fronts at a middle setting like 15 setting both the EDFC and struts at 15 then adjusting. EVERY time i go stiff to setting 28 sometimes 27 or higher the motors sound like they have reached the end clicking and making a knocking noise.

Does anyone have experience installing EDFCs and have i missed something?

I've installed the struts with the provided spacing bracked that somes with the EDFC as well as with the new longer screws for the front struts as well

Quoted from here

Just paid for a set of these with EDFC, was hoping someone has experienced this and found a solution

Thanks

      Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed

      hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me

      Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
