Tein fully height adjustable and active suspension available

B1RMA · January 29

I've just got off the phone to Tein UK. It would appear that there is now a fully active, height adjustable system available for the RCF.

I can vouch for the quality of Tein Suspension I had it fitted to my track prepped RX7 and more recently the fully active system fitted to my highly modified Mini Clubvan.

I am going to get this fitted to my RCF although my car has the Lexus AVS system this system will blow it out of the water, plus the coil-overs are fully adjustable for ride height.

Prices are as follows the four coil-overs i.e. springs and dampers which are the top of the range (I believe less expensive ones are also available ) is £1320.00

And the top of the range EDFC Active Pro control unit is £751.00 these prices are for the units only so you will have to get them fitted at extra cost.

I cannot put into words how this system transforms a car, my Mini which was fun to drive was to say the least a bit harsh which was okay for a while. But when I had the Tein system installed it was mind blowing, you could potter-along at a sensible speed and it was truly comfortable, then if you put your foot down it noticeably tightened up. Then when cruising on a motorway it would ride like a limo compared to standard.

I believe there are a few Youtube videos of the EDFC Pro Active which are worth checking out. I'm waiting to get price confirmation fro Tein UK later today but I'm certainly going to budget to get it.

Look forward to you being a test case in the UK, I’m looking for S-class levels of comfort!!

What happens to the AVS system once it’s disconnected? I don’t think it will show a warning light but the internal computer will recognise the connectors are disconnected and show a fault internally.

It won’t effect the car at all, just not sure if there are other options….

Yes from a comfort point of view you will get S-class levels of comfort as my AMG CL65 had that magic carpet ride which was completely flat around tight bends and during braking and acceleration and heavy braking. As I have mentioned in the past the RCF replaced that car and the RCF with AVS got close but with this device from my first hand experience it will exceed the capabilities of the AVS beyond all expectations.

Very good point about the signals from the disconnected AVS, this requires a bit of research but I don't think it will be a problem because as you know it being disconnected doesn't throw up any codes.
