TEIN EDFC w/KW V3?? Possible?

KusoSama · 04-27-2011, 06:10 PM

Does anyone have this setup on their Z? If so, any obstacles you overcame?

I'd like to be able to control my ride while i'm in the car but am unsure if I have to marry TEIN Coilovers with their EDFC or if I can use other adjustable Coilovers like the KW V3 with this system.

If you can use EDFC with KW V3, would the rebound adjustability completely screw up drivability while damping is being dynamically adjusted?

Thanks for any help!

The EDFC works through servo motors that replace the damping adjustment knob. The only difficulty I'd see is possibly finding an adapter to fit the damping adjustment.

Also the EDFC is not dynamic in the sense that you set it…... and it stays put unless you reach down and change the setting.

its possible...however the top mount adjustment (which the EDFC will adjust) will only adjust the rebound adjustment on KW V3's. the compression adjustment is on the bottom of the damper

Will do. I'm hoping the travel between damping clicks between a TEIN and KW V3 are the same too.

Hopefully someone has experience creating this.

Yeah my buddy has EDFC in his 350 and I loved being able to make presets so you can swap presets while driving.

Now that puts a kink in my thought process...

Hey Nikon, how often do you hit up the eastside?

Would like to see how your suspension system feels if you're up for it.

yep. you'd likely be able to fab it up for rebound adjustment, but the most important (to most) is the compression adjustment, and that is found on the bottom of the damper

Look up KW HLS...

Edit: Never mind it only does height....

Yeah I was noticing that. There's probably a good reason they did it this way but totally messes up what I wanted to do. HEHE!

Yeah I checked that out in hopes it'd be their "EDFC" but as you found out too... No dice.

I've sent them a mail in regards to a remote damping force controller they know of for their suspension or maybe if they're making one. I'll let you all know if I hear anything back from KW.

OR... Maybe we can meet up at Evergreen Speedway on Sunday since they're doing ProAm Drifting?

My buddy drifts the 350Z.

Sunday's are a bit crazy for me so no can do. Sounds like great times though.
