It's easy. Just make sure you preload the suspension. If you will get up early, you can come to my place and I can help you knock it out.

A buddy of mine with a 06 S2000 has the tein monoflex and says the ride is very similiar to the stock suspension. I haven't got a ride yet, but I am confident he would tell me if it was a horrible ride.

No, not preload the spring. You have to preload the suspension itself before you torque down the bolts. I will PM you my information.
