dudee that little light thing is awesome. the crank pully bolts are best taken off with a special tool where u can push away and towards on the pully and bolt.

This special tool sounds interesting, how does it brace? Against the chassis?

Re: EF5 4g 4wd 4dr
Soooooooo, tonight i was feeling super motivated for some reason. So i tried playing around with my Teins. I've got plenty of adjustability at the front thanks to the drop forks, but the rear always sits a bit high. So i pulled them out and figured i'd remove the second spring which keeps the larger (main) spring captive (is about 15mm at full compression). So i did that, re installed, lowered the car down.. And it didn't make a difference.. WTF?
Turns out the car is already sitting on the bumpstops at the back *facepalm*. So i removed the bumpstop and this how it sat:
Also a pic of what it looks like with bump stops:
A friend of mine may have some old bump stops that i can use to cut down to prevent crashing, we'll see how she goes!
Sorry for the pic quality btw. Phone pics FTL.

damn, your Teins must be super long if you were sitting on the bumpstops at that height. It's a well known fact that Teins aren't meant for slammage but jeez...
You should pick up some EG/DC rear dampers, they're shorter than EF's. Right now I have full EG suspension on my CRX, so the rear has a few inches to go, but EG fronts are much longer so I'm all the way down in front with still a few cm of wheelgap.

Today i took them apart and installed a cut bump stop from an OEM set, reinstalled with the spring that keeps the larger spring captive still in place. The car sits about 15mm lower than what it used to (not quite as low as no bump stops) but it's amazing how much better the car rides like now with a smaller bump stop, i would have thought it was going to be far worse, however that wasn't the case at all
