I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

nah installing it better won't do much. Maybe its excessive horsepower... Yeah, thats gotta be it. 400hp at the wheels is bound to break stuff here and there. Right now I need to redo my entire rear end in my mustang. Still drivable, but lost posi :roll:

After road testing the suspension at my cabin on some pretty hard roads, I gotta say I am way for our new tein coilovers. The thing handels like a fucking beast... We did some racing and I have to say, on the corners, nothing can keep up with this thing, I am not trying to brag, its just that with a extreemly refined stock awd system, coupled with a aftermarket suspensions sytem, the thing feels like its riding on rails.

Good to hear, which TIEN system did you get, and how much did it set you and your brother back? I'm trying to find a good setup for my dad's WRX.

Tien flex coilovers, he has the intent to instal the EDFC our set works with any 02-04 wrx or sti...

I will have to ask on shipping but we got the parts from vivd cause we know their history with sti's, and it cost us a bit below 1,700 for the whole set. This suspension is fantastic, and it was worth every penny. though we planned on being done for the summer theres a good chance we will buy the EDFC befor winter. This will allow us to set up to three settings of suspension tuning... this cost a bit under 400 for tuning.
