Yeah it would be cool to know, but using Lex as the guinea pig to see if he gets a ticket is what I was LOL'ing about.

LOL you guys are funny. Yea ive been debating whether or not to test it... theres plenty of police all over the highways around here that I could play with, and if/when I do get pulled over for speeding, Ill just simple explain to the officer that I was testing the theory in which we are speaking of, and also to not check the trunk...haha j/k

And ya, I'll be posting some pics of my lady posing next to my car in a sexy bikini once all the mod's are on =)

I have already experienced some rubbing action going on, yes. Couple times when i have taken turns at a stop light or something, and there may be a dip, and while turning, rubs under front left fender. Its not a huge issue because it can be prevented by driving carfully.

After driving it for the first day, I am EXTREMELY impressed with the feel. I drove in the mountains today on some twisting roads, and it handled phenomenally. Usually im going into very tight turns pressing on the brakes, but with the TEIN Flex i was flying through the sharpe curves with ease and grace, amazing grace.

EDFC = Electronic Damping Force Controller: allows you to adjust the stiffness/softness of the suspension while seated in the drivers seat. Its very cool!
