Nice I really like Tein coilovers, I would also like to see a before and after pic, not that I haven't seen an S14 with Flex's but still.

Yea, i will be sure to get lots of pics, and maybe even a pictorial how-to or something for future reference. Does anyone have any tips for installation? besides basic stuff.
like "Watch out for this....." or "your gonna need a special tool for this......" etc

not too big of a fan of hte Flex system...too soft IMO

but all of those things are very easy..you need a 12mm, 14mm, 17mm *IIRC*

nothing out of the ordinary

Yea, i knew the spring rates were soft going into it. That was my attraction to them, the comfortable spring rates. i am not building this car solely for drifting or racing, it is my one and only daily driver. And i dont know if you have ever been in the midwest, but the roads here are far from desireable. actually the state i live in, Missouri, is ranked #2 in the country for the worst roads, second only to Illinois, which is right across the river. So the roads i drive on daily are considered to be the worst roads in the country. :Ownedd: i like to have a somewhat comfortable ride also, and honestly, i am not good enough of a driver to be able to push these coilovers past their limit. So going with the HE's or anything else stiffer, from my point of view, would have just been overkill, and a sacrifice in ride quality. From all the research i have done, these are perfect for what i was wanting to do. And if i feel that they are insufficient for my driving style down the road, i can always sell them and upgrade to JIC FLT-A2's or something like that. I am super excited to be replacing my blown shocks though.
