Hey guys,

anyone here using Tein Super Streets with EDFC on their 5th gens?

Know of any fitment issues?

Thoughts?

i have a chance to pick up a pair of Tein super streets with pillow ball mounts which have the studs to mount a Type s Strut bar as well....one that i have laying around in my garage lol.

They were only used for a couple of months then removed due to the car being sold. In your currency i'm getting the fronts and rears for about 175 pounds LOL....works out to about $350 CAD.

So i was thinking of getting the EDFC with the gps controller which i found very interesting. I can have the suspension on a medium dampening setup and depending how fast i go it will automatically adjust the stiffness!

But from reading i saw some posts regarding fitment issues as the hood line sits low...

I fitted a set to a friends type s, they fit perfectly but for the retail price I really wouldn't bother, anything like £175 is a steal tho!

Don't expect to get super low with them, they just don't have that much adjustment.

Type S uses the same suspension setup as a SH model right? which is different from the Base model.

All preludes 4th and 5th gen use the same shocks and springs. Sh or base makes no difference.

The upper control arms on the Atts models is a little shorter iirc to give a more suitable camber curve for Atts.
Also there are 2 lower ball joints on the front on Atts ludes. This increases castor and better control of the torque distribution between each wheel.
