This one will fit the SS coilovers as well. The retail price on the EDFC is $380, but if interested, PM me and I'll let you know of the price I got through one of the vendors here
that would be cool if you can while u're driving.

Nice Coils~ using the oem ones must be an inconvenience though ~ you have to use a spring compressor and everything.

Hopefully

I asked Tein HQ about the "rust proof" can included with the kit, and they told me that in only comes in the Japan kits. They said that it's because since Japan is on an island, the chances for car parts to rust are significantly increased, and that the spray is to be applied to the parts where ride height is adjusted. It's basically a WD-40 for Tein Tein HQ also added that they substitute the spray for stickers in the US market, so whoever gets the US version will have some stickers for their cars.

I'm on the same boat as you. Although I'm currently living in the middle of a desert, I'm scheduled to go back home to PR by year end, so the rust proof works for me as well!!!
