Suspension setups (creating a sticky hopefully)

Hey aziners,
I know we see alot of posts about "what does this drop look like?" and "any one have this set up?" I am trying to create a thread that we can sticky that will show various different set ups. If we could get a one or two pics per set up that would be great. Try to post ones on a side shot if possible. here is a list of set ups I can think of off the top of my head.
1. Tein H tech w/koni yellow (add what perch)
2. Tein S tech w/koni yellow (add what perch)
3. Tein basic
4. Tein SS
5. H & R Sport
6. H & R Race
7. Aspec
8. Neuspeed SuperCup
9.H & R Street Coilover
10. K&W coilover
11. Megan Racing Coilover

Once again this will be helpful and hopefully make a sticky in the suspension forum

this one I am hoping to get enough pictures to create another thread that shows just the drops, you know, everything on one page. The one you are referring to is too many pages to go thru and half the cars are riding at stock height .

Like one of my homeboys said, "If you ain't rubbin, you ain't low enough." Mad props on the height!

Do you ever rub when you bring people in your car when you had your other wheels?

This thread has nice intentions, but no one's really going to gain too much from it, unless everybody that posts has rims with the exact same specs, and the exact same tires along with it.

Also, with coils, you're never going to get the same ride height to compare to anything, because even a 1/8 turn on the coils will affect the ride height. It is very close to impossible to match height on coils.

To get any reasonably close idea of the type of drop people have, they have to post pics with a tape measure with the numbers visible to measure the drop. Then, even that number will differ between each setup that does not have the exact same wheel as the one each person has on their own car, plus the exact same tire as well.
