Just for future reference, my settings (at the moment):

Front: 8 clicks from stiffest
Rear: 6 clicks from stiffest

with the recommended drop from the manual.

Thanks for the pix!!! The stock really does look like a 4x4 next to the drop. Won't look quite as slick on mine w/o the gfx kit, but still... I think it must happen.

Much mahalos to everyone for the props. Here are the answers to most of your questions:
I bought this system from a local shop here in Palmdale, CA, called Eastside Muffler for $1200, install was $100. I'm not sure if they do shipping but you all can call them for more info, (661) 267-2648 (ask for Angel). Oh yeah, I also got my Injen intake from them for $210. They can pretty much perform any kine of install and get almost any part you need.

I currently have my system at a soft setting 12 in front and 10 in the back (from the highest setting for course). I did that cuz I drive about 80 miles a day so comfort is a must.

Lastly, ride quality is EXCELLENT! On surface streets I notice a dramatic improvement in comfort and control over the stock sport suspension (remember, I have this system at a soft setting). On freeways all the bumps and jolts I used to feel on the way to work have almost disappeared (again due to the soft settings).

Thanks again to everyone for the props. Next pics will have 19" or 20" shoes......

Just another update, I'm now using:

Front: 6 clicks from stiffest
Rear: 4 clicks from stiffest

Ride is pretty good on decently paved roads. I do still rub a bit in the front though.

California...and its warm weather all year long !! Great drop dude !! I would love to be able to do it...but the winter here makes it impossible...yeah possible if I want to compete Mr. Plow or Plow King (Simpsons' reference).

Do you know how much would cost an easy (from inside the car) adjustable height Tein system ??

I can't wait to see on 19's !!!
