Electronic Adjustable Coilovers

I'm looking into getting 20"s and dropping. Not a big rush but I'm really interested in purchasing EDFC coilovers for my G in the near future. I noticed TEIN are really nice but I noticed they haven't released any coilovers for Infiniti since G20. Does anyone know any other reputable/reliable brands that may develop EDFC coilovers for our G?

Not sure where you heard this but tein has almost all their coilover kits aval for the G35coupe. They are working on the kits for the 37 now also. And only Tein makes the EDFC

Its an Electronic Dampining force control. You have a control unit inside the car and you can adjust the damping force from inside the car. I.e. you can set it softer or harder without getting out and adjusting anything by hand....

that has nothing to do with height tho right?
I think this would be a good investment... If Tein does a good job...

So you could keep it on soft when your just cruizin and then stiffen it up when you need to have good handleing?

Thanks for the explaination bro!

On my friends g35 it felt extremely close to stock. And when you stiffen them up they will handle beyond your expectations. Thats what i wanna put on my car when they come out. i am eagerly awaiting them. Cant decide if i should do springs in the mean time because my car sits way to high for me.

well they go from the very basic coilover which is the tein basic damper All the way up to full race spec. the main differences being the amount of adjustments you get on the coil overs. Also on the more advance sets you can add helper springs which will increase springs rates and make a more custom set ride. The flex is a good system for the street. If you plan on doing track days and really pushing the car I would not recommend the flex. But for what you seem to be describing i think the flex is perfect for you .
