Finally lowered it....

Well I finally got my coilovers installed and I'm no longer at 4 x 4 status. The Tein SS are better then I had imagined. They ride great and are just what I wanted. A good balance of ride quality and performance.

Here are a few pics....

Thanks! I was already planning on it! Then I'm pretty much done with the exterior mods.

Thanks bro! I'm not as slammed as others but I'm about 4 inches from the ground in front and yes I am going to install a camber kit in the rear.

LOL! I knew everyone would say go lower but I'd rather have my car low and not slammed so I don't have to worry about every little bump,dip,incline, etc.

Thanks for the compliments bro!

Thanks man, but I won't be going any lower as I like where it's at now. I can still drive around and corner hard without any rubbing. That's why I went with the Tein SS cause I wanted a semi aggressive drop with out sacrifing too much ride quality.

Next on the list, they're either going to be black or the color of the car... Haven't decided yet.

I agree... It's like having a new car again!

About 3-4 threads on the front and the rear has maybe 8-10. I didn't want my car lower in the rear so I leveled it out to the front.

They're 19's, it's probably just the design of the wheel.

I try and keep it shiny! The car hasn't been repainted but the front lip, front bumper, and grill have been recently painted.

Good tires make all the difference, when I bought cheap tires the first time it was very loud and the ride was not great. I had two bubbles and one blow out in a year.
