I'm on 19's and on Tein Basics... I'm running a 225/35/19 and I wanna know how low anyone using this combo is. How many threads are you guys on. I have 4 threads left, front and rear. I wanna know if anyone is lower.

read your tein install guide or home website for specs- there is a minimum allowed height, you are pretty close to it now
they dont run all the way down--they will,,,but wears out key internal parts fast!!
then need rebuild at 100something dollars per shock-

plus sending shocks off to LA while your car sits on blocks

he's right, there's a Tires, Wheels and Suspension subforum. you should know this.

and i have the setup your asking about, i have no threads left and i still have a little wheel gap in the rear (mainly bcuz i took everything out of my trunk)

if i was going to make a thread regarding wheels and suspension i'd post it in the wheels and suspension forum.....

Ok.... we get the point. Moderator in the making. If it needs to be moved, I'm sure it will be. Thanks.

its not about the wheel clearance- the issue is minimum allowed height by tein.
the shock operating level is not made for bottemed out on the threaded portion
On their home website it list each shock and car with a measurement from fixed points
a min and max, here is the exact page you need
http://www.tein.com/tech_info/h94-ua5.html
at the bottem of the page is the teinSS with and without pilowtop mounts
and list the min and max measurements
Open the Intallation Instructions file, see `Setting Ride Height`
It has the place you take the measurement shown in diagram form

Take it from there~
my advice:
IF Lower than allowed you can expect to blow out those very expensive shocks and require overhaul- which is not free and not warranty when you ran them too low

I'm on Tein SS with 19x9.5 235/35 all around. Maxxed out in front and about 1.5 threads on the rear right and 2 threads on the rear left. For some reason when the rear is maxxed out it's uneven. Front camber is -1.7 and the rear is -0.5.

Hope that helps.

the car doesnt sit exactly flat, you can adjust the corner height so they all match clearance from measured point like center of wheel to fenderlip
then play with it slightly to get the camber matched or close

Or you can set it up on actual weight on wheel basis, which may leave the car sitting funky but flat as far as corner weighting is concerned for racing types

how much fender trimming to get 235s on there?, mine rubbed the outmost edge of the tire -went with the correct 225s this time

how is the tire wear at neg 1.7 ?

I am neg 1.1 and neg 1.4, no bad wear across the face
and heard you should be able to go neg 1.5 with no prob,,,if close to neg 2 degrees camber you need camber kits or it will eat tires-
is this true from your experience?

anyone on the last adjustment threads on teins, please see the tein link above and measure if you are in limits
I will shut up if you are within specs- thank you

i am on 245's at "teins" height spec in the install instructions (the 13.1 in front and 13.2 in the rear or whatever it is lol)(but on bilsteins and h&r's though)
and rub very little on bigger bumps (i need stiffer front shocks and springs though :S), fronts only rub on the fender liner a little bit, even then that is basically gone, thenthe rears only rub with people in the back, even then some, but as far as when i first put them on WHOLLY shit did they rub lol, but trimming bumper tabs did wounders though (as far as rolling quarters, i did but not needed though, but you got like a 1/16 of an inch of clearence though, and i wanted a little more then that)

In order for me to fit 235s in the rear, the fenders were rolled and the bumper was shaved. The front only needed minor rolling because of my camber setting.

With the camber set at -1.7 I went through a set of Falken FK452s in a year because I didn't rotate or flip my tires and my toe was off. Now I'm using a tire with a 400 treadwear and have the correct toe settings, so tire wear looks to be normal. I've also started rotating my tires every 3-4 months.
