TEIN has over 20 years of suspension tuning experience and is one of Japan's largest aftermarket suspension manufactures.

Type Flex: The Type-Flex suspension is latest design offered by TEIN. FLEX is a more economical suspension that uses a steel body construction versus aluminum and a more economical twin tube damper; but still offers a high level of suspension response.

The Type-FLEX utilizes special upper mounts which allow the use of the EDFC controller (see below). The Type-FLEX suspension is easy to install and adjust. Ride height is adjusted with a spring perch. Compression and rebound is adjusted on a single adjuster with 16 useable positions.

Type Mono Flex: The newly introduced Mono Flex is TEIN's most advanced coil-over damper for the NSX. The internals of the Mono Flex are completely different than the standard Type Flex.

The Mono features a mono gas tube that increases damper response time and increases the consistency of the performance once the dampers begins to heat up from aggressive driving.

New to the TEIN line is the micro speed valve which adds a separate valve for low speed compression. In addition to better suspension response by independently tuning the damper for different damper response speeds, the MSV valve eliminates the "pogoing" during straight line constant speed (ie. driving on freeway) associated to older TEIN systems and other aftermarket suspensions.

The Mono Flex suspension is valved slightly more aggressively than the standard Flex and is ideal for street & track use.

The Mono Flex has the same 16-way adjustment and is compatible with the EDFC system.

EDFC controller:
TEIN's new Electronic Damper Force Controller allows in car adjustment of the suspension's valving. An in-car control unit (see photo) controls independent servo motors at each corner. The driver may select between user-defined pre-set levels, or adjust within a 16 position range. The EDFC system is compatible with the Type Flex and Mono Flex suspensions only.

NEW FOR 2006!
The EDFC controller is now black. The servo motors and most importantly - the servo motor wire extensions are now longer - no cutting required to install!
