Just got finished cleaning & driving the car for the first time after the new suspention. Tein FLEX, while I was under there got some fluid for the tranny and diff. Install went smooth, getting the old crap off was kinda a pain but some kicking helped. 
The Tein factory settings were a little too low in the back so today I raised the rear and lowered the front a bit.
Traction is amazing, since all this snow the roads have been wet, getting it to break traction in 2nd is accomplishment. I have it set to 9 in the front and 7 in the rear... so far I havent lost any teeth due to a bumpy ride(it's not too bad). I think this has changed the car by far out of any of the mods to date and I recommend it asap!!! When I get a little more cash I think I'll pick up the EFDC controller.

Thanks guys, the install probably only took 2 hours of real work. You dont have to mess with any of the spring compressor stuff which is nice. I believe the spring rates are 559lb/in front 448lb/in rear ...... thats what it says on Teins site at least.
