And also if anyone has the translated English version of the directions that came with the Tein comfort sports as well.

Thanks

Id would rather have a professional do an install that big. Unless you have experience with this kind of the stuff Id leave it to a mechanic. The guy who did my install kept comment ing on how many air bags he found in the 3GS while he was running the wires for the edfc

the thing that bothers me about letting other ppl do it is..
1. they probably don't care about your interior.
2. does it carelessly, finishing it asap so they can move to the next job.
3. will not let you know if they stripped a bolt or whatnot leaving it loose.
4. i'm probably just **** when it comes to other ppl taking my car apart... :P

That's the way I felt too. Until I went to M1 Autosports (one of our vendors). They did a great job, and spent an incredible amount of time dialing in the drop until it was just where I wanted it. If you buy your CS's from them (in the GB going on now), their install price is ridiculously cheap.

Exhibit A...................................

I agree. I took my car to dynocomp and they did a great job. They actually refused and resisted when I told them I needed the car right away. Took longer for install, but damn they dialed it in. I will be returning.
