The Apex'i N1 SW Coilovers work great and for the price you can't go wrong...basically this setup should cost you half what the Tein CS setup w/EDFC would be...
i.e - Apex'i cost roughly $770 and the Tein CS + EDFC would run around $1500+ ($1299 + $200 EDFC) also the install on the Tein will be more expensive for most since the EDFC is extra. Big difference in price, but if you need the flexibility to change settings, I would say that it is worth it.
Just depends on what you want to do...

Sorry... I don't know of any place to get it that cheap, but you know some members...they will always say they can get it this cheap or that cheap...just being conservative in the estimate since it would offset any change in price to the Apex'i setup...
i.e. - let's say the Apex'i runs $900 and the Tein CS runs $1300 + 325 = $1625..still close to twice as much, especially when you add in the additional EDFC install costs.
It was the Group Buy price...but other members have stated that they have received about the same deal elsewhere so I think it is safe to say that someone could find this price (or close to it) from a vendor.
The other differences are that you will get a complete suspension setup with Tein...this includes the pillowball mounts, etc...so the initial install is actually easier (don't have to compress the springs to recover the stock mounts, and put everything together).

aboout 2months prior to the GB, a member picked up the WS's for 850 in Cali somewhere. I paid 350 for my EDFC brand new from a Tein Dealer. Install was 270 for the coils and EDFC.

It cost me $250 to install with Todd...I have to admit that it was more of a PITA then a Tein install though (...and maybe Todd just likes to charge me more )...so $270 is a great price!
Neo - I agree that it's better to be realistic then optimistic...

yeah the shop that I got them from gave me a fair price 150 for the coils/ 120 for the EDFC
