Tein Flex Suspension Settings
Has anyone tried to setup their Tein Flex Suspension??
I have installed mine and set it to the recommended settings and my ride heights were all different. After getting them somewhat close after about 2 hours of jacking up the car, adjusting, lowering the car and checking the heights, I managed to get the front tires within 1 cm of each other, the rears are within 2 cm of each other. I was very discouraged that even after I let the car sit for 3 days to let the springs settle and repeated the process, I still can't get the ride heights closer to each other. I have checked the springs in the rear and the coilovers in the front to make sure that they are sitting correctly and nothing would be causing them to be off when measuring.
I am taking the car to get the alignment done tomorrow morning and before I go I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight. I am going to ask the alignment guy to help me set the suspension because after all I have done I am still unable to get the car to sit right. Also keep in mind that I set my toe and camber as best as possible with my eye, and the same for the front camber, so it shouldn't be affecting the ride height that much when I make my measurements.
Any info and experience would be helpful. Thanks.

Okay, I have just returned back from having my car's suspension fine tuned, so I have equal ride heights, and the alignment was done. This is what I have found out, you need to drive the car around for a bit to let the suspension settle, just dropping the car after making adjustments won't show any difference. Secondly, now that I had the alignment done, it is slightly off in the front pulling to the right, that will be fixed tomorrow morning. I also have some rattling that I have to pinpoint, I think that it might be the spare tire and the tire jack.
