Tein SS Coilover setup

Just use a good guess when you're installing your suspension, then after the car is on the ground, measure the gaps and see how much you need to adjust it. Then jack the car up and adjust the spring perches accordingly.

You'll be able to get close during the install but it won't be 100% perfect until you can adjust it on the ground. Adjusting it once you get it on the ground is part of the installation.

Either way, make sure you understand how to adjust the suspension before you leave the shop. It's not too hard.

The rear is down 15mm to 61mm, or .6" to 2.4".
The Basic uses the same springs and strut, and the drop is the same. Just no damper adjustability.

You can adjust height to your heart's content though.

Hey, check out Tein's specs...

If you follow the installation instructions to the tee......the SS will drop the car 2.0 in the front and 1.6 in the back.
I would tell them to follow the instructions exactly, and them move the collars down about 1/8" if you want it lower.....
The factory settings put the car at a really nice level....
