How is the ride on the different settings?

Also is .."undoing the fuel tube from the car and move it asside.." sort of risky?

and running the front wires, did you route this through the radio or off to the side somehow. How difficult is it to route it through the radio slot?

at first u wont feel differences, because your not used to it( this is where a lot of haters come in and say its pos cause u dont feel the difference) give it week on soft 15/15 (dont ever go extreme 0 or 16 because its not made for that, but after a week you'll feel the difference..

soft is very nice and mellow, whereas stiff is VERY stiff.

by changing preloads u can make soft softer or stiff stiffer


also.. to plus the wires for edfc..


ACC power.... is behind the passenger seat
Constant 12V is behind the driver seat
illum is the REd w/ black stripe wire located in the console going into the "roof" switch, not the one on very end... but the other one.
the ground is w/e u want it to be

i wish i could find the schematic i used to find the wires and colors... if i can think of where i saw it ill post again

theirs wires behind each seat behind the panels... u can just T splice onto them.. one is white/red and one is yellow i thought.. lemme look it up

for the wires into engine bay, use a hanger thru the grommet located to left of clutch, rubber grommet.. stick hanger thru the hole (break apart hanger from landromat) then tape wires onto hanger and pull thru, then you can run them up the driver side footwell by removing the plastic panel.


run around the back side... into the console under the perforated section.. all slack can be placed in the console.

Just Got the install done and there were some minor issues but all is well. First, watch out for the e-brake sensor when you put the control unit in the coin holder, the wires might push down on it an your roof wouldn't work.

The ride with the Flex is better than stock in my opinion. Normal roads it feels more dampened and less bouncy with twitchiness. Over bumps though the Flex bounce more because of the higher spring rates. I haven't pushed it with the new set up yet since I need to get used to the new handling but seem like you can feel the rear more while turning so if it is about to step out, you'll feel it sooner.

Overall, great setup and the edfc is icing on the cake.
