I'd like yours too if they were available for purchase

Did you find out the spring rates on them? (or did I miss that post?)

I'm going to get myself a set of the Teins when they come out. Probably not right way but I expect it'll happen sometime in the mid to late summer.

...have been waiting for the TEIN Flex and EDFC since I got my G in Feb. of '07. Have settled for H&R Sport Springs until the release. Looks good Kul35!

Because of the EDFC.. plus TEIN is a very reputable brand, well recognized for their suspension products for various imports.

I have no intention of installing an EDFC. I'm not even considering the HKS, so it's between the JIC, TEin, or the KW.
