Default Installing TEIN coilovers

hey guys i just ordered my Tein type flex coilovers and EDFC. should be in sometime around the end of next week.

my question:

does anyone have experience installing these and or the tools to do it?

willing to buy lunch as trade for services, should only be a few hours worth of work.

thanks

ryan

Doing the swap isn't hard at all. Running the cables for and mounting the EDFC will probably take the most time.

the teins are awesome, installation was a little difficult on the driverseide rear but any coilover swap would be just as difficult.

havent taken them to the stiffest setting, the middle setting is stiffer than stock yet still very comfortable. tried them for a liitle while at the 4 settings on all corners and the car handles a lot more aggresively but little bumps feel huge

the 1" drop looks really good and there is plenty of room to go lower (dont think i will).

ive installed the edfc motors but havent wired them up yet, need lots of time to dimantle the interior and put it all back correctly.
