Tein EDFC, Electronic Damping Force Controller Options

[celicarus]

I will be purchasing the DSL36-KUSS2 for a 96 Toyota Celica and noticed the EDFC is not compatible for this model.

I really want the EDFC and noticed the 90-93 Celica GST18-B1SS4 is compatible with the EDFC EDKU3-12140. Also the DSY70-2USS1 for the 00 Celica is too.

Can i purchase the (EDFC) EDKU3-12140 for the 96 Celica and make modifications to work.

Any reason why the EDFC is not compatible with the DSL36-KUSS2, so that I will know if I can modify it to fit the SS Damper for the 96 Celica?

Can I use the EDK03-12140 model for the celica GT4 ST205 that i found on the Tein japanese website. since the body frame is identical. If the EDFC for the ST205 GT4 works on the ST200 then what is the price for it? Awaiting your response.

Above was an email i sent to Tein's sales department.

Does anyone on this board know of or have purchased the EDFC and made it to work. Well of course the ST205 always have the best parts made available.

did not know that the frame was different between the GT and the GT4, thanks for letting me know. Just thought the hood and bumper was different. I checked out the installation instructions for this device and it seems as if the problem might be the hood.

EDFC installation



There must be a minimum diameter clearance of 60mm(2.36inch) and a minimum height clearance of 24mm(0.94inch) centering on the top of the "Click Assembly". Please make sure that there is no contact with the hood or interior.


Since it states that there must be enough clearance from the hood than this should be workable as long as I use a GT4 hood or do some sort of modification to the hood.

As you can see in the picture the motor might be to big for the GT OEM hood, if that's the only problem then i'll just get the GT4 hood. Does this sound correct to any one .

Thanks for every one's input
