Tein Edfc & Koni Shocks

I have yellow adjustable Koni's and I would like to use the EDFC. I have asked Tein if this was possible, but they said it was not - however I only half believe this as they might just want to push their product. Hence I have the following questions

1. Has anyone tried this or is running the setup

2. If not, do you think this is possible ?

3. Any pictures of the actual EDFC motors where they connect to the coilovers (ex. Tein Flex) - the bottom part so I can see for possible compatability with the Konis

I thank you all in advance

I highly doubt this will work. The koni shocks are only what? 5 way adjustable? The Teins vary between 16 and 32 way adjustability. It's also possible that the adjustment clicks are further apart then the Tein cilcks. The EDFC comes with a different bolt that goes in the top that lets you install the motors, it's likely that these thread sizes are different. A lot of things to conisder.

Scub, thanks for the input...

This is one of my concers...
however the Konis do not have the usual click, hence this is why I would prefer using EDFC as getting the settings exact each time is a hassle

Question is do the stepper motors have the ability to go through enough rotations? The Koni goes two full turns from soft to hard.

The Flex's that I have go through like 3-5 rotations from soft to hard.

Hence this would solve this issue, just would have to be careful not to over rotate it
However still remaining
-is there a way to connect them (same bolt, adapter ?0

well find out the thread size for your konis, then we can go from there.

IMO, you don't need to be more precise with the Konis than a 1/4 turn accuracy, which is pretty easy to do by eye. I don't see why you think Tein would be feeding you a line of **** -- I would be much more surprised if the EDFC WOULD work with the Konis.

I agree, it's not really worth it.

Rynberg, good point for the 1/4 turn
As for the second point, I like the concept, and I think probably with some adjustments it might work
Scrub, what do you mean by thread size ?
