I'm not sure how the Super Flex Wagon spring rates compare to the old GT's, I'm pretty sure they're harder than the plain Super Wagons so I guess they have replaced the GT range.

If you look at their circle which shows where each suspension design sits, you'll see Flex is closer to premium and competition than the gt wagon which is more towards standard and street.

I'm guessing the Super Flex Wagon is an upgrade over GT Wagon. It has the same spring rates though, 8kg and 5kg

Type Flex are different than the super flex wagons, Type flex are not listed for Legnum's.

AAhhh on the first page of this thread the GT-wagon part number is supplied GSR42-E1SS3
Just got a reply from Camskill and they said they are still listed.

EDIT: Just got a reply back from Tein, here is what they said.

Nengun doesn't have them listed but are about $100 cheaper than RHDJapan for the basic wagons. RHD have the Supers at 1470 shipped (air, doesn't include credit card fee), so Nengun should be cheaper than that. They don't have the Super wagons listed but I'm sure if you asked for them via email they'd be able to get them

cheers Lee

I swear I saw a couple of months ago that these were cheaper, like a couple of hundred cheaper. Wonder what caused the price rise?

Thanks Lee for the extra ones, I emailed them (Nengun) last week and asked them to put the Super Flex on there site ;)
I'm still looking at getting the Super wagons or Super Flex some time soonish.
I think well hope the Super Flex adjusted to soft will still give a nice ride when needed for Family/babies/oldies......

Have you got a pic of the front and rear where the edfc is installed, did you have to modify the rear to make it fit?

just one more (dumb) question can you adjust so the car gets higher and lower also with tein super wagon with the edfc?

I only have adjusted on my p1 setting, then i have p2 and p3 also what is that?

No, the EDFC only controls the dampening. You need to jack the car up and adjust the shocks to raise or lower the car.

P1, P2, P3 are for storing pre-sets e.g. soft, medium and hard so you don't have manually adjust the front and back everytime you want to change.

I've been told you can put scales under all 4 corners of the car, and adjust the coilovers height to balance the front and rear weight distribution.

Now who has access to such scales and wants to give it a try?

That is indeed correct and one of the reasons I'm looking for a scale that can weigh a car accurately at each corner

Anywhere that does race engineering/preparation should have corner weight scales. I know of at least 1 place in my crappo town so you should be able to find someone where you live!

What's the going rate for the EDFC module?

I figured that once I get around to installing the adjustable coilovers I'd pay to have them set up correctly. Otherwise the handling would be shit and defeat the purpose of buying them.

Just bought some Super Flex Wagon's for my Legnum. Got in just before the Aussie Dollar took it square up the rectum.

Out of the box, they look absolutely brilliant. Top hats have a rubber o ring to soften noise, springs are also rubber mounted on the metal rings. Very impressed. I will probably install them at the same height that they were in the boxes. The springs seem to have the perfect amount of preload on them, so I'll leave them be.

Does anyone know what sort of height my car will be if I throw these coils in straight from the box without changing them? I realise I'll have to probably pull them out and change them a couple of times, would be nice to get it about right first time though...
