KYB shocks are POS when compared side by side to konis. KYB are 4click adjustable and stiff to soft show almost little difference. Ill find some charts to back up my data, just to show that Koni are truely that good

Bilsteins, height adjustables are ~400-500 a pair
Height and damper adjustables are more expensive, not sure on exact price but i think its in the order of a thousand for a single coilover.

VERY good quality product though, i drive with the height adjustables only and they are amazing for mountains

Domokun_SPL: just a question for you, even though its only height adjustable, do you have any issues (regardless of brand) with how stiff the ride is? or can this be controlled by the type of spring you choose to go with the car? What would the equivalent level of damper be on an adjustable? Medium?

Cos i'm thinkign koni reds(cheaper) and height adjustable via spring perch and just matching springs.

Cheaper that way.

I'm seriously considering Tein SS coilovers and EDFC (electronic damper force control) which sits a funky little computer interface in the cockpit giving the driver the ability to instantly change damper settings by either pressing "up" (softer) or "down" (harder) or by pressing one of the three memory settings.

It's about $700AUD RRP for the entire set (for all four wheels).

What do you guys think to it? Worth it or not? I don't have the skills to manually change dampers fast enough for it to be useful when out and about. I thought EDFC would be handy for those moments where you find an awesome offroad stip on a cruise or get stuck on a cobblestone path etc.

I don't think I was very clear here lol

The EDFC is $700AU (or less from dealers).

I can get Tein SS with upper pillow mount AND EDFC for $2000 AUD, which I guess is still pretty cheap! Or without the EDFC for $1400 AUD. I don't know of the EDFC is worth it though.
