Anyone have instructions for Tien Street Advance Z's?

I found this photo on here for a 4th gen TL, but this is the page I am looking for but 3rd gen. Looking to get those suggested reference values for adjustment.

Did you buy them used without the owner's manual or something?

The owner's manual that they come with has all those values you're looking for.

If you don't have the manual, call up Tein and see if they can send you a PDF of it. Maybe a PDF is available on their site too.

Here is an installation guide...

I bought them new a couple of years back but can't find my installation guide/mannual. A few months back I raised the car up but I want to drop it back down to where it was. Drove and handled a lot better with the suggested reference values. I checked the site and emailed Tien but haven't heard back, but I'm sure someone here might have their manual/installation guide lying around.

Thanks for the installation guide. The thread sorta has what I'm looking for: "Now you're setting up the spring height. The spring height Dimension (B), must correspond with Dimension (A). I think Tein's manual shows a Dimension (B) of 1" to get a Dimension (A) of 13.25" (IIRC, check your manual. My memory is terrible. I store everything in the *cloud*." He can't remember either lmao

Did you get it aligned after raising it?

Technically, the higher setting should produce better ride/handling.

But the car does need to be aligned every time you change height.

The alignment was good after install. Les Schwab put it on their machine but didn't charge me because everything was in spec (besides camber). To get camber aligned I would need to put in a camber kit but I'm ok with wearing out tires, for now, I don't drive all that much.
