any comment appreciate















Bro those wheels are sick, Id do em allll day!!!
My only concern is driving wl that massive stretch. My Boy is running a similar set up and he says his mind is always on the rim lips. Hard to enjoy.

Maybe a slightly wider tire that will get a little closer to the lip? Camber and a roll and pull. That would be so PHATTTTTTT !

Nice!!! you will love them...seriously they are so under rated. Ive sat in so many other cars with much more expensive coilovers and if your not tracking the car there really isnt that much difference. I like the megans because atleast you can tuck the tire if you want, but with the TEIN's, there is still a gap when you lower it all the way.

Thats great to hear. I think theres only a couple of us who have gone from springs to coilovers and I think its really cool that we've been able to experience improvements from stock -> springs -> coilovers. Its always a good feeling when you change something to your car and you can actually FEEL a difference

Ed once you have the coilovers installed, its literally 30sec to change all 4 settings. So just find a bumpy parking lot, drive around, tune 1 click at a time, and you can find a good setting. Then after that, drive around at higher speeds and adjust as you get in and out of your car throughout your day. Its so fast if you leave your seats down and the little compartment caps off.

Hm looks like 9.5+30 sticks out a bit more than I'd like, but now I know what offset range I would like to go up to

Did you set your coils lower? Or is this at tge highest setting right now
