Never had the K-Sports installed, but quality-wise...the K-sports looked and felt much better....MUCH better.

I sold them to fund money for my rims

Quick question for you guys with the Tein SS...how many clicks from L to R does it usually take?

My rear ones take 28 clicks...

One of my fronts takes 30 while the other takes 33...

I believe as long as you start from 0 and set it using 0 as the common start point, it should be evenly set.

Thats weird...

So would the common starting point be making them all the stiffest then go backwards? How do you know much to go back...

Haha i dunked on that thing so many times i'm surprised its still hangin' on!

I'm loving the Tein's so far...handles WAY better than stock. I think i'm running a 2" drop all around...i'm not 100% sure.

Its pretty bouncy though.....Like...I feel the whole back end of the car go up and down when I go over uneven road surfaces. I have the stiffness @ 10 (out of 16) in the rear, and 12 in the front. My friend told me it was because they're still new and to give them a week, then adjust everything. We'll see how that goes I guess

Can any other Tein SS users chime in? Is this how your set was initially?

That's tight as shit man! Those pics look noiicee!!

Are you sure about the ride quality? What about the roughness of it? I know it isn't a luxury feel like stock, but do you feel pebbles?
