Hm... ChronoJ1, i might of been the guy with the connection. I dont have a connection with TEIN, but i got them from someone who does. Here is my first post about them before they were installed.

I paid 1400 shipped to my door, and 300 for install. I think it was worth it.
I havent really had a chance to mess around with the ride height, they were installed yesterday (friday). I also havent messed with the damping. But from the ride home and around the neighborhood they feel just like stock! Like in the other post, PM me if you want info on where to get them cheap and ill give you the guy and his website/email.

siniquezu, there is a little finger gap in the front, (like a half inch). In the rear there is no gap at all. I havent taken any pics on the road yet because there now is snow on the ground in chicago.... But i can tell you this. The front is 3.5 inches off the pavment at the lowest spot. i also think that cars that you cant see any light on the underside look awesome. 
PCMW, The Ride quality is EXCELLENT! It compares exactly to stock. you dont get slammed around in this car at all. Im not exactly sure what the exact settings on them are. but they feel just like stock. I havent been able to test them against any other spring/shock combo.
I suggest buying these Coilovers for anyone who is debating on the TEIN selection. These drop a good distance, and the ride quality is amazing!

yea, there is a little bit of negative camber (butterflying). Thanks for the compliment, The bomex kit looks 1000X's better in person. The pictures on thier website dont do the kit justice.
does anyone know of anywhere that sells a camber adjustment kit?

lexcoupe,
The subject of camber is being discussed in a few other threads. The summary is, no kits availible, stock adjustment bolts only correct an 1" or so of drop. It would be nice if someone can find some offset upper control arm bolts that fit.
