Ready for some more ghetto phone pics?

Here's a pic of the front motor installed on top of the FLEX damper, it cleared the Spoon STB just fine:


And the rear drivers side motor. Man, this one was a pain to get installed. There is zero room to work back there. You can't see it in this pic, but the motor clears the gas assembly by about an inch and a half:


I decided to install the EDFC into the coin holder, so I took the hacksaw to it:


You can see it fits pretty snugly in there. Pretty much a perfect fit:


Here's a few pics of the console with the edfc in it from the top and bottom:




And finally, here is the final product with the console installed in the car and the EDFC wired up. I was initially worried about there not being enough depth for the EDFC and that it would stick up out of the console, but you can see it sits nice and flush:



As far as impressions go, I haven't had all that much of a chance to test it out yet since it has only been installed for about 2 days. I've played around with the settings at stiffest, softest, and halfway in between. At stiffest, it feels a decent amount stiffer than stock, and the softest setting yeilds a really comfortable ride. This is my first pair of coilovers, and I'm not an autocrosser or tracker, so I can't really comment on how these would perform at such an event. Maybe some of the other folks that were in on the group buy can chime in here to give their impressions.

As far as the EDFC goes, I find myself playing with it at every stop light; changing the settings all the time to see how it makes a difference. After going through the hassle of removing the spare tire and trunk lining to install the motors, I really appreciate the ease that the EDFC brings knowing that I don't have to go through that every time I want to change the settings.

as for the stiffest setting... it's only "a decent amount stiffer than stock". can you elaborate?
