Finally got my Tein S.Tech's installed. Me and a couple friends worked on it pretty much all day. I thought it would be much easier. We ran into a lot of problems though (stripping of bolts, need different tools, etc.). Well, I am so happy with this drop. Rides great and the look is perfect; not too low and dropped it around 1.5" all the way around. I love how it looks. I will post pics later if anyone is interested.

MUCH better than stock. I took it through a few turns and twisties and it felt great! Handling was excellent. It also feels like I'm in a go-cart now because from the inside it looks really low in the front.

yeah the first time i installed springs it took 4 hrs. the secong time 2.5 hrs the third time was coilovers so it only took 2 hrs.
the thing about the rear is that you should disconnect the hub from the chasis. theres a long bolt that goes throught the control arms and hold it up. just diconnect there and have some one step on it and push it down. then you can easily pull the sturt down and out.

There's a cluster of 3 bolts on the front half of the rear suspension arm. Unbolting those will lower the rear suspension. Then unbolt the strut, and it should literally pop out of the car. It's happened 3 of the 4 times I've done a spring/strut/coilover install. BTW, I also have Tein S-Techs, and I love the way they make the car look. Perfect wheel gap, good ride quality (not too stiff or bouncy), and a decent handling/lauching/braking gain. Sways are my favorite suspension mod by far, though.
