I would also suggest professional allignment, where you want to go is up to you, but any good shop that will let you have the settings you want should be good. The coil overs make it easy to change ride height and front camber adjustment. I also just purchased rear camber plates to make it easier to adjust rear camber. The Flex's come with front camber plates and solid rear upper mounts. The only downside i think to running springs and shocks is that you would probably also want to buy new top hats (cusco, noltec, sti, etc) which would bring the price very close to that of the coil overs which come with new top hats already. Also spring rate & shock valving is better matched with the coil overs as compared to a spring and shock combination....at least i would hope. Ill be out of town today and tomorrow, but any day after that we can meet up for the ride if you want.

doh....scott beat me to saying pretty much all this! haha, but yes you get what you pay for. If you have the money, i would spend it right first and not worry about upgrading later. I have had my flex's on for over 40k now with no problems, no rebuild, nothing. They have been great.
