the best way to do it is turn them to full soft (counter clockwise) and then turn them the same amount on each shock j(1/2 turn, 1 turn) you get the idea.

I'm running Tein S-Techs. I like them, although I wouldn't mind going lower and perhaps a bit stiffer for better handling. However, for daily driving, they're fine.

There are people selling counterfeit Tein springs. He posted a link above to the Tein website showing how to spot the fakes.

Here's the link:

Duh; guess I should've read the whole thread! I checked mine a few months ago and I'm in the clear.

I'd say that's their biggest complaint!
Yeah, I'm really happy with them. I'm hoping to get some 16" wheels w/ 205/50 tires in the spring. It'll fill the fenders a little more and help the dry weather handling immensely!
