That's the controller you have in the car that adjust how stiff you want the suspension.

Just makes it's sobyou dont have to open the bonnet all the time to adjust stiffness

I dot need I Need it. Only track days like 1 or 2 times a year. And that's the only time u would think of adjusting it

In regards to what I mean by Honda tuned it that way, our cars have some negative camber from factory - normally most cars from factory have 0 camber but if I remember correctly our cars have -1 degree camber just to help in handling (that's how smart Honda R&D is). So what we're all doing is basically overriding the millions of dollars that Honda has put into R&D so we can make our cars look and ride nicer with aftermarket parts .. jk jk :)

Example of effect of lowering in regards to camber:
Stock: -1 degree camber
After lowering: -2 to -3 degree camber
(wheel alignment person can't bring the camber back to within -1 degree spec, so you need to keep rotating the tyres more than usual, change tyres before the "normal lifespan" of the tyre or get a camber kit)
It is advised that you get a wheel alignment after you lower your car to find out your specs and help correct some specs.

holy crap, i never knew such advanced things existed. u can adjust stiffness through a computer? how does that work considering coils are just mechanical parts with no electronic connections?

Yea u stiffen it by turning this knob. So the edfc just turns it

god stop tempting me to buy the coilovers lol

Tony! quickly pm the price of the eibachs so i will be swayed back to the springs by the cheap priceeeee :P

the stock handling of the CU2's are quite suprising even at the track. I was prepared for mega brake fade, tyre going off and no initial turn-in but only lost abit of traction after about 4-5 hot laps which is quite normal for stock tyres. (cold be due for the cool temp day)

for a car that's a fair bit heavier than the previous model and to be able to lap similar times to the CL9 stock is a credit to the honda r n d. But at the end of the day it's a heavy family car.

for daily use i wouldn't go lower than stock. I've seen tien springs on a fellow board memebers ride and their just too low and the sad thing is most after market springs assume our cars need to be lowered and in actual fact their quite low as it is.

NOoOOo! dont say that! was just about to buy!

any before and after pics of teins/eibachs?

yea the cu2 is already pretty low.
but i want lower :)
