I had the tein s springs on my box for a while and really liked them. Here is a couple of threads that might help:

Two people always make the job easier. Two jacks are helpful. You may want to rent a spring compressor for the front struts. Good luck and post pics after the install.

just finishing my s. techs! it looks like a brand ne car. i will have pics up asap. the job took me 2 1/2 hours, so not too long. everything went smoothly. the rear was a sinch and the front was not too much of a struggle. it might have gone faster had i had someone here to help me, but all the same i got it done. the handling difference is amazing, my next add on will be a progress bar in the rear. i am way excited to go drive around town and see what people think. pics coming soon...!

congrats! You will really like those springs, and the rear sway bar makes it that much sweeter. Can't wait to see it!

so here are the pics that i promised. i would have taken pictures during the install but as it was just me i did not have a lot of time to fool around with the camera.











so hopefully all those pics work. my car is a little dirty so that is my next project then the rear sway bar and maybe the front h brace that fits underneath. tell me what you think. i love the car even more now. it really looks great to me. thanks for everyone that helped with advice and threads, it all came in handy.

I didn't know they made those springs in yellow. Did you paint them? It looks good. My only gripe would be the yellow wipers and speedo, its too contrasty for me, but otherwise, I like!!!
