I'd really like to hear how these are holding up for ya? Cause i'm thinking about getting some. Especially since the price is so good and you get the camber plates with it.
BTW: Did i read something about the color pink before?

all i got to say is WOW i put these on last night and went for a quick ride becaues my car is not alined yet and these megans are great, it so much more stiffer than my old setup and i have it set to full soft right now i fell so much more in control, i still half to play with the ride hight i need to rase the back one finger gap and lower the front more.
i have a fealing im going to have fun on the mountian runs much more than my last set up
i have a Q? do i just take it to any alinment shop to get it ailned b/c it has camber plats or do i need to find one that works with camber plats.
let me know thanks
Sounds good! Well when I got my Tein's in, I needed an alignment also... What I did was I told the alignment shop that the car has been lowered with full coilovers and it has camber plates in the front. Most shop should know how to play around with everything... Hope this helps!

Just received mine about an hour ago... they are beautiful. I can't wait, prolly around tues or wed next week they will get installed by a buddy of mine. To Telly and those who already have theirs installed, what are some tips for prepping them... I've already read what was already posted but Im not too clear on preloading the spring...wtf is that? Thank you in advance for any words of wisdom.
You have to turn the top perch ring to compress the spring before you install the coilover. Oh and use the middle/second ring to lock up against the top one. There should be something about it on a Hayame (crap but the thread is still sorta useful) or Tein thread in here, just search and ye shall find.
Did you set adequate preload (3/4" to 1-1/2")? I applied grease where the springs meet the perches all around. Also I did my best to get some grease up in the top mount areas - obviously harder in back than in front. I'm betting it's just needing a little grease around the spring/perch areas though, and you can check that without taking them off the car.
got em installed a few hours ago... haven't gotten to ride around too much but they are already a difference from the skunk2/koni set up i had. i only wish i would have done it the right way from the beginning but, you live and learn. i can't wait until my 20 min commute to school to test em out tomorrow. i'll update when i get back from school \m/
