Tein S-Techs Installed...
Spent last night and this morning completing the job. It's by no means difficult, just time consuming. Ordered the springs from DPE (listed in this forum) on 24 May, and they were on my door step noonish 27 May. Cost $160 + FREE SHIPPING!!! Free thru the end of the month, too! Check them out! Cost of install was $25 for a spring compressor. Took longer than everyone else, due to an abundance of assistance from my 1-yr old. She got nice and dirty sticking her hand into the exhaust tip, for some reason. New ride is nice; not unusually noticeable until you hit some rough roads. Feel is more solid/firm. Love'n them 100%. Will get an alignment in a week or two after they fully settle. Let me know what you think. Thanks.

I am under the understanding that you should wait to get the alignment. I am also thinking that after a week or two, I may loosen the upper control arm bolts in the front and drive it around the block again to eliminate any additional preload. Then retorque them and see about an alignment.
As far as what I think about them now... Dunno. Haven't had the oppurtunity to put any additional miles on them since the install and test drive. Will let you know. :D

I have the same springs. They are nice about 20-30% stiffer like advertized.
They will be a little more bumpy on tough roads. We have alot of road
construction going on down here. Driving home from work at night i notice
my headlights moving up and down alot! Tight!!
