In this episode of Tricked Out, host Andrew Totolos installs a remote suspension dampening controller to upgrade the coil-over suspension on a Ford Focus SVT. This system, also known as EDFC (Electronic Damping Force Controller), makes it possible to control the feel of the car's ride by pushing buttons from the driver's seat. Small servo motors installed at each shock absorber respond to commands from the dash-mounted control module--allowing the driver to make precise suspension adjustments on the fly.
