A little more on installation, potentially significantly more on adjustment. When you install Teins, the instructions say "set ride height to 'X' using this measurement method" and it will be pretty damn good at that height. Tinkering is inevitable of course, but you wouldn't have anything negative to say about the height they recommend. With GCs, you can't pre-set the ride height off the car as easily (meaning, you can't easily estimate the settled ride height by eyeballing the assembled strut before installing it). And since you're using a somewhat unique spring rate/strut damping combo, you have to do more fiddling to make that work. But, you can get it dialed in and set properly yourself. Just takes more thought and effort is all.
