hogmaw Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Quick edfc question - as we know the edfc is used to vary the front and rear between hard and soft settings. At the moment I have each of the three memory settings so the front and rear are equally hard, equally medium or equally soft. What situation is it when I would have the front soft and the rear hard, or vice versa? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Softer at the rear will help traction when taking off, i.e. drag racing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Varying the hardness of the damping between the front an rear will promote oversteer/understeer also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyin_scouseman Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 Great post Hogmaw as this could also be very informative to me seeing as i'm upgrading suspension system to Tein superstreets and EDFC in January BTW where do you have your control module mounted as i have a double Din stereo mounted in the centre console, so there ain't no room there anymore....

hogmaw Posted December 30, 2006 Author Share Posted December 30, 2006 I usually have settings at 8 - 8 for normal driving. Soft at 16 - 16 for when the missus is with me and 1 - 1 for when it's needed... OK I understand why you'd have it softer at the rear (thanks Gaz) so is there a situation when it would need to be softer at the front? Also, my unit is placed by my left hip, against the centre console next to the seat belt. I can get to it there quite easy, and it doesn't affect my seating position etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJI Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 does the edfc alter the spring stiffness or just the shock rate (or both)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 It adjusts the rate of dampening Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
