I ended up buying the Tein super streets like I wanted.
And I heard that there is a way to run them in, does anyone know what this is or where to find a write up?
Thanks
And here is a pic of my babies:

i would think putting them on the highest setting and low damper would be a logical way to "run them in"...giving most piston movement and wearing the internal valves etc equally - but thats just a guess off the top of my head lol.

One important thing to do with new shocks is to prime them. to do this you need to have the shock upright and compress an extend the shaft at least 6 times. But dont let it just push back out it needs to be pulled with force.

when i had my Tein RAs in i had them on the height that i wanted, coz after it was runned in u would have to set the height and damper again. The damper was in the middle, coz with the damper at the softest level it would not run in properly and with it on hardest would break the shocks(thats what i was told by my mechanic).When its runned in u would feel it, coz it was really bouncy when i first had them fitted and when it was runned in from bouncy it became hard. It was around 3000-3500ks when it was runned in.
The important thing is drive easy when its running in.
