Cusco Suspension Parts

The Tein EDFC is quite well known amongst tuners with interest in Japanese suspension products. However, the Cusco e-Controller is less well known and undeservedly so. The Cusco e-Controller, performs the same function as the EDFC but for the Cusco ZERO-1 and ZERO-2 suspension ranges.

Typically the damper adjustable suspension kits enable you to adjust the damper rate via a control knob on the top of the suspension. This changes the behaviour of the suspension stiffness offering various control characteristics depending on the requirements. However, due to the location this obviously cannot be adjusted when driving - which can be quite inconvenient in track conditions, or simply when the conditions change during street driving.

The Cusco e-Controller enables in-cabin adjustment of the damper rates via an electronic in-cabin controller. The controller is connected to a set of stepper motors on each strut which turns the damper control knob. The in-cabin controller enables 5 stage adjustment front and rear and features 6 memory settings - so you can have set settings for every condition: commuting, aggressive street, wet track, dry track and any other condition you can think of.

So in future if in-cabin adjustment is important the Cusco e-Controller and Zero suspension ranges might be a good consideration. There is some great information available from Cusco on JDM Option at the following addresses:
