Well.. tonight I did TONS of work to my car...

I worked out an awesome deal with someone for these parts and I am increadibly impressed.

I installed Tein Flex units, Hotchkis End Links, Cusco Rear sway bar.

I also have the EDFC but that was not installed today.

My impression? Well, I think my wife put it best when she said "Wow, something's missing... Im not bouncing."

The settings right now are at 6 in the front, 8 rear. I didn't push the car too hard because I need an alignment and also need to get to know it better, but I can say that it rotates much better.. I thought that it would be more tail happy though...

Its funny, the spring rate is higher but it rides 1 BILLION times better. NOT AN UNDERSTATEMENT.

Here are some pics... kinda crappy, but there nevertheless...

Not sure if it matters, but I think your rear endlinks are on upside down.
