Hey everyone. I just got my Tein Mono Flexes from Steve@Evolution today. For those who don't know about the Mono Flexes yet, here are links to both Tein sites: http://www.tein.com/mfpdamp.html http://www.tein.co.jp/e/products/mono_flex.html
I recently got Volk ce28n's from another member, f20kills for a great guy. The install was a one man job, and it took me about 4 hours. (Breaks here and there I wanted to make sure everything was installed correctly). I had a little help from this DIY: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=441565 , but the install was pretty straightforward, even though the instructions were all in Japanese.
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pictures.
The box and some of the contents:
Before shots:
Stock and Tein's side by side:
Tricky rear, Notice the ap1-R above the 10013. I thought Tein sent me 2 right ones. I finally realized that it didn't matter. So stupid of me:
During the install:
After shots:
FYI, I know the Tein's are suppose to be pre-assembled, but I had to tighten both lower perches. Also the drivers side rear is a pita! I dropped a bolt in the crevice and it took me forever to get it out. That stupid fuel line is a pita also to get around.
Initial impressions: Front now has a two finger gap, the rears are about a finger and a half. I'll update after it settles and when I get an alignment.
Initial driving impressions: Hopefully I adjusted it correctly, but I used the standard 8 setting. The ride felt like stock. Maybe that M.S.V actually does something. If you're in the 714 or OC area and want a ride just shoot me a PM. I'll be happy to let you see how it feels. Thanks for viewing my post!
