Installed my Tein H.Tech Springs ...
I was not looking forward to this one, but it turned out to be rather easy.
Luckily, I have access to my fathers 4 bay shop with a 2 post lift and a few giant toolboxes full of tools. The entire install took about 2 hours including a short break for some taco's in between. One thing that shortened the install was on the front, instead of fighting the suspension to get the strut out, I just took apart the upper A-Arm and it pops right out. Grant it, I need to get it aligned now, but oh well.
WARNING
This may go away, but the rear has some camber issues. From bottom to top they slant outside in. I thought maybe this would go away, but it hasn't after an entire day of hard turning and speed bump test. I will let the dealer align it tomorrow and see if it can be fixed but I doubt it. Anyone else know about this? I researched these springs on the forums and nobody else mentioned this, which is why I went with TEIN.
Pictures can be seen at my gallery on the last couple pages. The first pages are pre-mod: Pictures Here

Damnit!
I searched high and low on these forums about camber issues and nobody mentioned them with the H.Techs, only the S. Techs.
If I would have known I had to get camber arms I would have got the S.Techs.
errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
