they are great, not too harsh and not too soft, just right about it

and yes, truly a gd deal, the guys at the shop can't believe i got it for such price...coz they go over 1000 in canada

i haven't drove hard on it yet coz it needs to break in

do u think it's too low? or just right?

It's hard to judge the overall look when the pics are so dark. Looks good, I guess.
Is that one finger in the back or front?

Nice drop.
I bought these coilovers from Dave too and i'm still waiting to install them.
After you dropped your car, did you have to adjust your headlights and fogs? And how? Thanks.

i have to tell, they are a really gd quality coilovers, the tuner shop guy is amazed how cheap i got those....

they said never trust anything cheap from taiwan or china, alwyas trust proven brand coz they had some customers experienced that b4

i didn't bother to adjust the headlights and fogs, doesn't really matter thou

and so far it doesn't have the purge sound that the Tein has

Shouldn't it be 1 finger in the front and 2 fingers in the rear? I was thinking because of maybe passengers in the back or maybe a load or system in the trunk would add weight to the rear and lower it a few mm?

Hm, how much did those Coilovers run for, samkws?

EDIT: You should keep it like that, your car looks pretty.

Not really. The look is quite balanced, if not a bit raked. Check out my galleries for pics.
