well this down right sucks. I was completely blowing my budget to begin with. Now it's an extra 300 (410 Canadian). I really gotta think about this. Can RR help us out any further on the price point since there was 7-8 of us instead of 5-6. Last time a group buy was done in November, you guys had the price down at 3000 for the DA's.

Looks like a pretty straight forward install the only thing I keep reading about it is resetting the bushings to neutral. I haven't quite figured out what that means or how to do it properly there's a couple of threads on it though. Hoping it makes sense after I start, I'm a hands on learner.
Maybe take a look at this https://www.clublexus.com/forums/is-...lover-diy.html
Also - when do our units ship?

"The goal is to have the suspension at normal ride height when you tighten the bolts. That way, you have no worries about the OEM rubber bushing being constantly stressed and breaking down prematurely.
If you are putting in poly bushings, there's nothing to worry about because the metal rotates in the polyurethane so you don't have the same issues. Also true of suspensions with spherical ball joints. No shenanigans at all, just bolt up and tighten."

Found this in the Swift Spring Install thread.. not sure if it applies to Coilovers as well for people who have the USRS.

The other thread discussing setting suspension to a neutral setting before tightening is here:

Exactly correct. Just another good reason to ditch the OEM bushings if you have the tools and ability.

Thx guys, very helpful information. I will be giving the self install a try myself. Sounds like it is pretty straightforward.
Still have concerns about dialing the DA setup in, and getting the correct alignment specs....

As far as alignment I though I remember reading somewhere that if you aren't going more then 1in in the front it's fine without extra aftermarket stuff i.e. Figs.
I think Rafi said they come preset at about .75in lowering in front and .5in rear. Still need to measure of course.

+1 on the dialing in settings although I'm not worried about it. Rafi said they come dialed in but I may want to change to make them even more road friendly (comfortable). Won't know until I go for a ride.
