Tein EDFC on Type Flex - Honda Prelude Forum

UWNTSUM · 08-14-2004, 12:56 AM

I have a question... Does anyone know if the EDFC unit will clear the hood on our cars? Cuz i heard it does? but never seen or talked to someone with it. According to Tein web site it sez it doesnt. http://www.tein.com/edfc-fit.html

Tein website says no, my dealer pricelist says yes

Anybody have personal experience?

i can go measure a friend who has it on his 5g and see if it will roughly clear under our hoods.....i'll try to get this info asap

hmm if u say ur friend with a 5th gen has it, maybe the website is wrong. Since it says both 4th and 5th gen have no room for the EDFC.

I measured today and the rear have plenty of room on a 5th gen for the EDFC as it take 4.2cm of clearance above the strut... so:

5th Gen Prelude EDFC Fitment Information
Tein Setup - EDFC Capability?
Tein Basic = NO
Tein SS = NO
Tein SS-P* = YES
Tein SS w/pillowmounts = YES
Tein HA = NO
Tein HA-P* = YES
Tein HA w/ pillowmounts = YES
Tein Flex = YES

* - the -P indication states the Tein setup comes with pillowmounts and are not an option. The setups that come w/ the pillowmounts are slightly diff and have diff model numbers.

Here's my thread... the final info is 1/2 way down.
