1. Eibach springs, Koni struts on lower perches, about 1.6" drop all round
2. Unknown camber specs
3. Rear fender Roll - but maybe unnecessary. No rubbing at all
4. 20" Stance SC-6IX staggered 8.5" front - 10" rears
5. 235/35/20 Front and 255/35/20 Rear tires
6 Feedback: So far it is incredibly smooth. I can only notice a bit of stiffness in the front due to stretched tires, but rears are super comfortable (I rode on the back once to try). The suspension/wider wheels add to a super nimble feel. Great set up if you want to have the most aggressive look, and still go over batches not feeling all stressed!
Pictures - please at minimum provide a level, side view shot in good lighting showing the drop clearly
1. Have Tein Basics Coilovers
2. Drop is about 1.5-2 inches...not to sure
3. Have a Full Rear camber Kit (3-piece) and Adjustable in the front
4. Slight camber in the front... -.5 maybe a little more, and around -2 in the rear
5. Have all the fenders Rolled
6. Running 19x10.5 (All around) with 245/35
These coils are awesome, would recommend to anyone! Very comfortable, and my car with this and the Sway Bar from Progress handles like its on rails
Did u have any trouble putting on the wheels? I heard that it was harder to put 19x9.5 or 10s up front.? That's what I wanted to do for my tsx too...have 19x10s all around. ..lmk thanx bro...and sick ride.
1. Megan Racing EZ Street
2. Unknown Drop
3. No camber adjustments
4. Rear fenders rolled, Front fenders rolled and slightly pulled
5. Niche Verona 20x10 +40 offset all the way around
6. General g-Max 245/35/20 front, 255/35/20 rear
Coils have a good and smooth ride. Rear fenders need to be pulled due to rubbing on certain bumps. Possibly going to a 30 series tires so I can lower the car some more.
Lowed on Tein Basis (1ish finger gap all around - not sure of exact measurement), SPC toe arm and camber arm. Rear camber is around 2 degrees and front is around 1.
Wheels: 18x8.5 et35 with 235/45 Continentals. Didn't roll the rear fenders yet but it hasn't been rubbing anywhere.
Quick night shot as i just got this on today....terrible picture to show fitment, i know, but it's pretty freakin good fitment.
Question for you, license plate lights..what brand/type are they? they are PERFECT

I've been MIA for a while but here's my current setup.
- TEIN SA (Street Advanced) about 1-1.25" lowered? Definitely a little less than two finger gaps. Rear is slightly higher.
- No camber adjustments at the moment but will soon. Front camber: -.07° & -1°. Rear camber: -3° & -2.7
- No fender modifications.
- Rims: XXR 527 18x8.75 +35. Tires: Bridgestone Potenza 225/40/18 all around with about 39 lbs of air on cold.
The TEIN SA are amazing. The ride is smooth and feel like stock if not better. Currently have 8 clicks to the stiffest in the front and 10 clicks in the rear. Handling is significantly better on corners. Although, my MPG did drop a little bit about 2-3 miles on the highway. I was getting 29-32 MPG before with the stock wheels and tires. In all, I love my car even more now after the TEIN SA and tire setup.
With a lowered car, i feel like you'd get better fuel economy, unless it's the wheels adding extra weight. But looks nice nonetheless especially with that kit - damn student loans.
I have had tons of lowered cars in my life, never got better MPG. It was always same as what I got before lowering.
I did see improvments in MPG when I bought ligther wheels/tires. Like in 05 I had a new Mazdaspeed Miata. I went from the 17" boat anchor Racing hart wheels to 9lb 15" TE37s.
Thanks! I think you're dave_88. These wheels are a little heavier than stock. Student loans sucks major arse! I got 4k left and I can't wait to finish it. Good thing I used one of my CC and did a 14k balance transfer to get out of the crazy interests from sally mae a couple years ago. Otherwise, I'll still be stuck paying.

Tein street Coilover
Rays 57fxx
19x9 E38 all square 245/35/19
all fenders are rolled
Can this be lowered more? Looks like all tein users always have a mild drop. Haven't seen one that has 0 fender/tire gap. I hope this is not tein's limitation.
1. Megan Ez Street coilovers (unknown of drop but it can go much lower!)
2. no camber adjustments. Natural camber
3. all 4 fenders rolled. Front fenders are slightly pulled
4. Wheels F: 19x8.5 +30 225/35R19 , R: 19x8.5 +30 225/35R19
Wish I had gotten my hands on the staggered setup.. But ehh this will do..
The fender still rubs in the front when I turn the wheel and go up the driveway. I'm going to go for bags soon.. So should be set
Also ive included a pic of my car SLAMMED on stockies looks pretty ugly IMO

What'd you have to do to get the rears to fit? I have 19x9.5 +20 all around and I'm trying to figure out what size tires to go with. They have 225/30/19 on them now, but 2 need replacing.

I have the Tein SS coilover. This is my DD so I do not want to slam the car too much. Ride was lowered F 1.3 R 1.5....
