I would've done it myself, but the shop I bought it from wouldn't warranty the coilovers if I did... So I'll have to wait til next week...

Damn! 11K for suspension? That's more than half the price of the car! lol...

And no, I didn't get the EDFC with it... Although I wouldn't mind getting it! But the main thing is that I got the coilovers! Maybe I can find a used kit somewhere later down the road...

I notice the sticker or tag on the flex stating Civic 01+. Will these fit the 01+ civc? The 01-02's have 14mm crash bolts. Anyone?

Alright... I finally got my Tein Flex installed! There was no problem installing them at all! And the ride feels great! I have it on 8(which is standard) all around until I fully break them in.

$2300 was installed and everything included... $2300USD is about $2900CAD. Since I live in Canada, if I were to buy it from a site(which is all from the US), it would've cost about the same. And I don't get warranty for it from the shop... Cause say I buy it from a site for $1800USD. They say add another $100 for shipping. That's $1900 now. They Convert it to CAD buy multiplying by 1.25, now that's $2375CAD. Then there's 14% tax and duty I have to worry about. So with tax in it would be $2707.50CAD. And I'll probably end paying like at least $100 for duty. So that's $2807.50CAD at least... And I still have to worry about paying for install and labour. Which would probably cost about $100. Which would make it $2907.50CAD. And I payed $2900CAD flat. So it works out to be about the same, but I don't get warranty for the install if I bought it from a site.
