I paid $1500 for the coilovers and $300 for the EDFC. The coilovers are great. Car handles awesome. The only negative is the clunking noise they make. Its not that bad, but it is noticeable. The EDFC is nice. You can adjust your dampening rate. If you want it nice and stiff or if you want a decent comfortable ride, just press a button to your desired level.

What sorta cluncking noise are you getting. Is it the bumpstops? Or is it all the time? I was thinking about going for that setup but dont want to deal with extra noise. Is that a common complaint with the teins?

blkrx- The noise almost sounds like the bolts need to be tightened. But mostly everyone who has the Type Flex has the same noise, so i doubt its loose. It only comes from the rear suspension. To me it sounds like the bumpstops. If you dont have an exhaust or upgraded stereo to deaden the sound, then i suggest you get another setup, cause it annoys the hell out of me.

Can the car be moving when you adjust the settings or does it have to be stopped?
Does the car acutally go up and down slowly when you chagne the settings or is it just ride comfort?
Is there any "routine maiantance" you have to do on them?
Is that wire for the EDFC hard to run or setup?

you cant change the ride height, you can only change the amount of damnening you want. Yes you can do it on the fly while moving. No maintenance is required. Judging by the amount of wires, it looks like a bi*ch. I had it done by someone.

The EDFC has a motor that mounts on top of the coilover and adjusts dampening and not the ride height on the fly. You can go from full stiff to full soft in about 5 seconds. You can adjust ride height on the Flex's the old fashioned way. The shock body is threaded and screws up and down to adjust height and you don't have to mess with the springs to do it so the compression strock doesn't change. Wiring the EDFC is easy; the only pita id Tein gives your lots of length in the wires and there thick so it's just a matter of finding spots for the excess. The clunking doesn't happen with everyone. I haven't had any clunking since day one.
I would recommend them for anyone that daily drives and does auto-x and track days.
