when you get a chance to ride on these, can you post your thoughts on the pros and cons or comparisons between these and the tein's

Will do. My first impression is the two dont even compare. My Tein's adjusted height by smashing the spring to go up and loosening it to drop it. The overall impact of this is when you go up the car is firm, when you go low it gets really soft. They had a smooth ride but in the corners they were super soft. Not to mention the small take up springs on the teins are smashed coil on coils and make noise on bumps.

These JIC's alllow me to adjust the spring rate where I want it and then lower it independently with out changing ride. I think I will love them.

Need some help scott..so im debating wether I should install the coils myself the garage guide seems pretty straight forward. but since mine are used, it looks like he adjusted the spring rate and height... so how should I have them set? or do you think I should just get the owner to install them? he said he would install them for 150 with alignment and callibrating the coils. I also dont have the adjustment key, he lost them but said he could order them for like 60.

They are pretty straight foward to install but you may want to adjust the height several times to get them where you want them. Then you do need a alignment. That being said, $150 with the alignment is a decent deal. If you dont have the spanner wrenches to set the height then you are wasting the money for the alignment until you have them set to the right height. I would get the wrenches first then put them on so you can adjust them where you want it, then align it.

Thanks scott, well the owner said he has tools in the shop that can be used as the spanner wrenches so maybe I'll get them to just do it for me. I'll have them adjust it to height I want then go ahead with the alignment. have you installed your coils yet? hows the ride? whats your opinion on them?

Nice Scott! I'm looking at the model below (FLT-FAS). What are the spring rates on the TAR's? The Japanese spec ones are 18 and 10 (kinda stiff).

JICs are top notch! Enjoy Scott!
