Tein SS and EDFC install writeup
Very nice write up, great photos as well
I never seem to have the time to do something like this.
I installed mine fairly easily(not the EDFC as have no real need for them, like 99.999% of us, meaning for the vast majority, they are just bling;), the rear coilovers were a bit of a hassle but got them on after a bit of thinking it over(had to get out a pry bar and persuade the lower control arm to get out of the way
By the way, I will autox my car alot, no time to adjust them for such short duration events, I can do it manually between runs while using my pyrometer to check the tire temps accross the tread and adjusting the air pressure to compensate or take notes for future events on the same surface.
Then when drag racing, even shorter, I already know what settings I will need.
But, I may decide to get the EDFC when I start runnint track day events on road race courses, the only place I feel I could acutally benfit from them;)

My car is stripped down and thus rides like a big stiff truck for now, even on the softer settings but I know as I put more of the interior in it will smooth out a bit

I didn't notice the use of a spring compressor, so I'm assuming it's not needed for an SS-P install, correct?
