Got mine installed today @ Racer's Line in Concord (thanks Neal!). I was his 2nd install for these coilovers. By the sound of it he does a lot of Tein installs. I asked him to get it to ~1 inch lower than stock.

So far very impressive. They came i believe 6 or 7 clicks from full stuff, and actually the drive home (~20 miles) was not bad at all. Only when i hit broken pavement in the city did i think it was too much.

Ended up i think adding 1 or 2 clicks of stiffness from the RCE street setting recommendations but im still playing with it. Currently it rides nicer than stock for sure especially on bad pavement. Better ride than stock and body roll eliminated = win! Hard to describe but bumps seem to affect the wheels more independently versus stock, whereas stock you get the whole car shaking and thumping on poor roads.

Also I haven't heard a single peep out of them, they are just as quiet as stock, even with the camber plates. Neal maxed the OEM crash bolts (luckily they came in time from the dealer) and got everything so i could drive it home with no wandering or tramlining. Not in a rush to get an alignment, even as is it drives great. I'll let it settle a bit.
