nice choice on wheels!

also, Tein's are great! I would have just gotten something with a higher spring rate...

SPL roxors too! they're local for me

i got the FLEX with lower spring rates because its a daily driver and wont see much track. plus i can get higher spring rates later if i choose to have them rebuilt by Tein. I'll have to see what they feel like first!

Just curious, why did you go with the FLEX over any other setup?

Nice choices, I know someone who will be running the EDFC, nice little toy :).

And ya those T/c rods are the shit, you don't live in the land of sunshine and no rust so buy some dust boots, I have been meaning too but yet to do it.

dust boots smut boots. whateva
ive run no dust boots on my RUCAs and toe links for over a year and regular daily drive and general track abuse w/ no issues.
pillowball doesnt last forever.yeah might extend the life, but i wouldnt lose sleep over it

dust boots end up tearing and such over time..my tc rod ones are toast after 1.5 years
