It was a nice day so I finally got the chance to put in the Teins that was sitting in the garage for the last 2 months. It took about 6hours to do this by myself except help from a friendly foot to step down the front passenger knuckle.
The front needs to be adjusted more but I hope it'll settle more after a day or two. The rear has a 1 finger gap while the front has a 2 finger gap. Here are the pics of before and after...

Agenda of the day... Inserting these four lovely pieces of metal into the car


The stock rear is longer than the Teins


Before








After

 

looks good, get sum rims

 

Nice...but I think the "raked" look is better...ie: lower in front and higher in back.

Give it a few days, they will settle a lot.

we have the same toys in our car:



where do you have your struts set at?

 

chikai - right now I have them each at the recommended 8, i'll have to drive around more without the back seat til I get a good feel for it. For now, it feels like any other lowered Honda I've driven.

 

Do you have any other pics that show the wheel gap (if any) with your Teins? Thanks

 

maybe bring the front up a little...whats the point of gettin coils when u are only achieving CT height? or maybe im deceived by te pics....looks good tho

 

Time for some 19"s!!!!

 

Yo man slam that thing.

 

looks good, but the front drop is less than mine with comptech springs.

 

heh guys...slow down...like I said above...wait for it to settle a bit. Drive like 500 miles or so and readjust. That's what I did

 

thats funny...mine never settled...still the same from the day i installed them...i was told they dont settle becasue they are not like regular lowering springs

 

These pics should be better.

GotPsi - took pictures of the wheel gap for you

Essarak Huot - you need to empty your PM box.





Wheel Gap

 

That looks much better.

 

wow, i really like the all white look alot. nice work!

 

really like the all white look! you should put in some clear bulbs to replace the amber ones in the rear turn signals, looks like you did in the front signals already.

 

Looks good, mine is white also. how is the ride and the handling compared to the stock. I'm considering dropping mine too, I've had it a month.

 

This maybe a stupid question, but when you turn the collar to adjust the ride height up or down does the spring compress/decompress ??
If so, aren't you changing the characteristics of the spring? Therefore the higher you raise the car the more compressed the spring is and the more dampening you need????

I'm lost....
