Not really, just gotta do it :/ power tools DEFINITELY help, and be prepared to adjust it a couple times to get the height just right

I've gotten a lot of great tips and suggestions on the coupe section of this website I think I'll be just fine doing it myself. I do expect to swear a lot and sweat my fat butt off, but I'm still excited to get the experience :-p Just ordered a few more things and considering the TEAS now, though, so I might force myself to wait longer so I can do it all at once.

What are TEAS? I'd recommend investing in a good camber kit as well, check out spl you can't go wrong! I can get you good pricing too

The TEAS is the electronic active suspension thingy. Also, all a camber kit would be needed for is to adjust camber, right? The Tanabe ProFIVEs manual says I can adjust the camber (and what looks to have a large range in adjustment) with everything that's included (I think this is related to the Upper Mount?). Makin' myself feel stupid but whatever; MUST LEARN.

Yes, you will need a camber kit (consisting of an adjustable camber arm and larger toe bolts) to get the alignment back within spec if you lower it more than a half inch. There's almost no adjustability on the OEM setup... I guarantee you that the coilovers do NOT come with anything to adjust the camber... but if you want you can just put them on and see how it rides without a kit, the only downside is more tire wear

Hmm, okay. Massive appreciation. I feel like delaying this is my best option right now anyway. Lotta **** hittin' my fan recently and I feel really stressed out with my life all of a sudden x_x But I digress </blog>. I'll look into the camber thing and Thanks again for your help. SPL Camber kits huh...
