Do I need the EDFC Strut Kit for my car?

It depends on the vehicle. TEIN states that need varies by car and points owners to its compatibility search. Cars with strut front suspension are the main case, because the strut rotates with steering. BA can check your car and damper part number before you order.

What happens if I skip it on a strut car?

The front struts turn as the wheels are steered and take the EDFC motors with them. Without the stopper bracket, TEIN says the EDFC wires become tangled and may break. The bracket also keeps the wiring clear of the motors when the ride height is changed.

Does this kit include motors or a controller?

No. The TEIN EDFC Strut Kit is the wiring stopper bracket only. The motors come in a separate EDK05 motor kit sized to the dampers, and the controller is a separate EDFC5 or EDFC ACTIVE PRO, neither of which BA currently lists.

Will it work with dampers from another brand?

No. EDFC runs only on TEIN shock absorbers, so this bracket only has a job on a TEIN damper fitted with EDFC motors. Some TEIN series are not EDFC compatible at all; Flex AVS, for example, leaves damping to the car, so confirm the damper series first.

Is this part needed on the GDF WRX STI Super Racing kit?

Yes. Turn 14 lists it as the front strut extension kit for the TEIN Super Racing GDF Impreza WRX STI dampers, together with motor kits EDK05-12120 and EDK05-14140. Those dampers adjust compression and rebound separately, and Turn 14 notes that EDFC needs two sets on them.

Description

TEIN EDFC Strut Kit

TEIN’s EDFC Strut Kit is built around a stopper bracket for EDFC installations on cars with strut front suspension. A strut rotates as the wheels are steered, carrying the EDFC motor and its wiring with it, and TEIN warns that without the bracket the wires become tangled and may break. TEIN USA adds that it stops the wiring catching on the motors when ride height is adjusted. It is an add-on to an EDFC setup and does nothing by itself.

When the Kit Is Needed

TEIN decides need car by car through its compatibility search rather than by a blanket rule, so BA checks it at the same time as the motor kit. One documented case is the Super Racing kit for the GDF Impreza WRX STI, where Turn 14 lists this part as the front strut extension kit required alongside motor kits EDK05-12120 and EDK05-14140. The motor kit and controller are separate purchases.

About TEIN

TEIN was founded in Yokohama, Japan, in 1985 by former rally mechanic Hakaru Ichino, joined soon after by driver Yoshio Fujimoto. The team reached the World Rally Championship in 1989, and in 1995 Fujimoto won the Safari Rally in a Toyota Celica GT-FOUR, the first Japanese driver to do so. TEIN launched its own dampers in 1990 and came to supply around 80 percent of the dampers in the N1 Taikyu endurance series. TEIN USA has served the Americas from Downey, California, since 2001.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
