If Aaron's hookup doesn't work out, try calling Tein and going up the chain of support monkeys until you get someone who can actually make decisions, they might be more friendly.

I'm pretty damn sure the Tein Flex bit *won't* work. I forgot the SuperRace does some weird stuff w/ a non-standard camber bolt, while the Flex's use the stock bolts.
I think I need someone to contact them on my behalf and see if they can't tell Tein they rounded out or otherwise jacked up their lowers and order some new ones. I get the feeling Tein's not going to support me.
As far as understanding their point of view. I get it, you don't want to have people just randomly ordering the wrong bits and breaking more stuff then trying to get it covered. But in my situation, I'm using the suspension for racing, so they won't warranty any busted stuff to begin with, plus the *only* difference between the '04 and '05 struts is the lower bracket, so it's not like I'm really mixing and matching parts, I'm just converting my kit to the '05 spec. If the sales guy would take 5 seconds to lookup the parts list he should see that.
