Its late and I flew back home and have driven the car.
Couple things to note.
1) Car handles wonderfully and sporty, I have been thrashing its tits off on out in the country and boy its not to shabby for an SUV , would embarrass a lot of much sportier focused cars.
2) Ride quality is fairly good even though I have the stiffness wound up 25of30 clicks on front and 23of28 clicks on the rear
3) Seat support, Brakes and steering response is now an issue as they cant keep up with the new handling
4) The Tein kit doesn't go "that" low , at full lowness settings on the rear with the car sitting level its 1 inch lower than with eth H&R's, so for me that's i guess a little better but not the result I was aiming for, Appears to be about as low as C/S springs )
5) Sadly the rear end links I bought to use on the stiffer setting are as Chris pointed out perhaps too short and yes after seeing it on the ground off the hoist we all agreed to put them back on the tame setting and we will fabricate our own using the end link parts.
6) Adjustable camber arms and front camber bolts worked a treat. Had full alignment and balance done.
7) Cutting under tray to fit all new braces was a very long process and fidly if you want to bother retaining it.
8) We had to fabricate some beefier brackets for where the monster under car brace thing bolted into the chassis , my engineer wasn't happy there was enough meat for it to be effective, suggest you do the same if fitting the big brace.
But so far pretty good, car is completely different to drive , it was fairly nice before but now its just extremely nimble and flat on the road and cornering is effortless.
Still to do ...
* Drive the car in various manners to let the springs all settle then take for quick geometry and spanner check.
* Swap out the upgraded front sway bar ( facto = 20mm gone , maz6 wagon=22mm in place now ) , with the new 24mm autoexe unit.
* Fabricate some longer adjustable rear sway bar end-links
* Install the EDFC unit so I can set up the different modes wife mode = Softer damping settings, Me mode when wife not in car = firmer damper settings )
