im about to buy the tein ss suspension, but wanted the edfc along with it. sponsor called me back yesterday and told me that if i wanted the edfc, ima need the gt-4 hood as well cause of clearance issues with the stock hood once the edfc is mounted.. so is this true?? or has anyone managed to mount the edfc and still be able to keep the stock hood, without having any clearance isuues??

I hope it wouldn't get crushed between the hood and tower with every bump/pothole. |

I hope it wouldn't get crushed between the hood and tower with every bump/pothole. if it doesnt hit once the hood closes those parts dont move up and down inside the engine bay they are stationary. everything under the shock tower moves. everything above it (camber plates, stiffness adjusters/edfc motors) do not move. you should be ok but to be sure call the Tein dealer down in cali and ask for exact measurements of how tall the new style motors are and then measure off the top of your tein SS's and check for clearance. i had thought about installing gt4 like vents in my stock hood or a CF hood that will be painted just for clearance issues plus it might look nice. -------------------- 94' ST Coupe - 5sfe Motor swap and brake swap.
