i believe he got them from heeltoe
and they run around $1300-$1400 from what i've seen on the net
the FLEX and the CS(which these are) come pre-assemble
swap out the old for the new and your done

Hey I have a question for those of you who have the Tein CS but I dont wanna post it here because its kinda offtopic... if you can PM me or just reply here that you have them so I can PM you my question that would be great! I already PM'ed you rex so any info you could provide me with would be great. Thanks!

I answered your PM, but to share your question with others who might care to know:
TEIN's suggested settings; Front (1.1") Rear (1.2") are their recommended settings for the ideal 'Comfort Sport' (ride quality) that this suspension should provide. The highest setting (front & rear) that you can adjust to is 1" lower than stock. Anything different from what they prescibe may affect the feel of things, but a primary reason that you get a coilover set up is so that you can adjust it to your own specifications. Keep in mind that there are also 16 different settings for adjusting the damping force. That is a key attribute in achieving optimal ride quality. I don't know what TEIN recommends to match that height, but from Softest (1) to Hardest (16)*, the standard value is (8), which IMO is an ideal setting for this damper. At the current height i'm at, car drives smooth as a hot knife through butter, just hate those potholes.
gvtsx also has these installed and i'm not sure if Reach did his swap yet, but i'm sure they will chime in and won't mind your PMs.
* The EDFC list the softest setting to be 16 and the hardest to be 1, which is backwards.

What I was wondering is: you dropped yours more than 1" from the stock position right? I doubt you have changed the height to be able to compare the ride at different heights but if you have... let me know. Well thats all I was wondering for now! Thanks in advance for any light you may be able to shed on this.

The thing that I reallly wanted to know is how would the feel of the suspension be different as you lowered it more and more.
If any of you (it seems like Reach would know this) had had it at the lowest setting and then brought it up and noted any differences... what exactly would those differences be. Is the handling affected in a bad way?
I saw that thing about 1.1"/1.2" for optimal performance and it kinda pushed me away from them... but Im just wondering if that should be enough to get the Flex with custom spring rates of 9/6.
Sorry if I missed it but did you ever do a write-up on the characteristics of the Flex/CS Reach?

v6accord2k5, I only dropped it that low to check it out and take some pics, I then put it back to about a 1" tire-fender gap, and leveled all the sides. Sorry, no ride impressions between these two areas, but compared to the Flex, these are significantly softer and quieter.
When I'm back and have some time I will share some comparison pictures and impressions. I can only get on for 15 minutes now and that just wouldn't do it justice.
