moostafa, do you have your tpms....that tire pressure reader on or off with your current RPF-1 setup?

Another question i could not find on the forums is the compatibility with a strut bar (aftermarket or not) with tein flex and edfc installed.....is that possible?

i understand you can install tein flex with a strut bar, but if you add the edfc kit - will it actually work? is there enough clearance and has anyone done this yet? if not i am goint to sell my cusco strut and or modify it i guess......damn..............

I have it on. I think there is a short or they messed one of them up, because the light is coming on randomly but the pressure is fine. I know another member who I spoke with, and his is working fine.

Question

is this fact or misnomer : when you install coilovers wait 2 weeks before you do any height adjustment because it will settle x amount of inches?

depends if you are driving on the street, or tracking it. If I was tracking it, I would want to make sure everything was in order before taking turns at that kind of speeds
