Any advice? My first time lowering a car...

[UhFive]

I am putting on the Tein springs and my new wheels this weekend. I have experience lifting Jeeps so I assume this won't be too much different, but any suggestion out there? maybe some tips, tricks things to look out for? Again I will be going with the Tein springs and I will be mounting up some SE-R's.

Don't snap the bolt in the bushing. It ends in tears. Search "suspension nightmare" and you'll see what I mean.

Other than that, drive slow over bumps and you should be good.

Don't snap the bolts in the top of the rear wheel wells that your struts connect to either

Bet this car feels like it floats compared to those jeeps.
Ive driven a few Rubicons with offload tires and man... i felt like they were going to fall apart any second

Lucky you just had that feeling, on numerous occasions stuff actually did fall off. Also have you ever heard of the Jeep "Death Wobble"? As the name implies, it is a wobble at the front in that if you don't fix, too often ends in death. I lived lived through it daily!

THIS. Just happened to me. If that bolt doesnt break free easily, back the F off. Use PB Blaster or WD40 on them like half an hour before you actually try to break them free and let it soak in.

There Is a write up in suspension, that gives a detailed follow up of how to do it, It really helped me and since its your first time and all, If you dont want to compress your old springs you can take them to a shop, EX pepboys and they will compress your new fronts for like hella cheap, and take the old ones out, I ended up using this route, that way you dont have to rent one.
