Default Those with Tein SS help!!!

I just got my Tein SS for my IS350, I open the box, I'm missing the following:

2 x Bump Rubber (I have 2/4)
2 x Dust Cover (I have 2/4)

I check the Tein website, there should be total of 4 each.

http://www.tein.com/products/super_street.html

for those who got the Tein SS, do you remember if you got all 4? or they came with 2 only?

I don't have these but from what I recall, Tein usually makes you reuse your factory stuff.

THX!!!

once is installed, and alignment has been done, and I want to change the soft/hard only, do I have to do an alignment everytime I change it?

I know that changing with lower/higher, we have to do alignment.

No. You don't need to get an alignment if you change the damper setting.
