lol...maybe he's thinking it's the bumpstop causing the problem in the TL rather than the UCA hitting...sorry didn't catch that. he probably knows more than me!
Either way, that TYPE S is sitting right just where it is.

lol, its not the upper a-arm thats bottoming out, Im not that low. its the bumpstop on the strutrod (between shock body and tophat). I could cut that, but I dont want to take the risk of bottoming out the shock as I dont plan on keeping these long.

And thanks Justin, maybe not guru, but I do know how to make a lowered car ride nice with various methods. I just wont be able to go as low I would like with these advance's and still maintain the nice cooshy ride I desire.

dont get me wrong guys, the teins are a nice product for sure. Fit perfect, installed very easily. Just bummed out they lied about the struts being shorter than the SS's. i loved my SS setup and had no complaints. only coilover Ive liked as much was the first gen Progress coilovers, but those havent been available since around 02.

can someone point me in the right direction. I have a 08 tl-s auto, will the tein ss fit? Which brand of coilovers will be worth getting? Need it for daily driving. thanks

I had Function & Form Type I then Kw v1 now Tein street advance... I like fnf1 but they were too soft... kw had the best ride quality but you cant adjust the dampering... I would recommend tein sa if you dont care about being slammmed...I went with tein because I live where it snow lol

I have on ISC coilovers with street/sport spring rates and so far I'm loving the height. The ride is extremely comfortable according to the way I set the dampeners and I havent had any issues with noise. They can go lower if you're thinking about slamming.

BC Racing!!!
I have F&F which are great - but i prefer something with damper control hence why i'm switching up my coils next season. I've had BC's on my previous car and it handled AMAZING, and gave me crazy lowering.

Our XLR8 ISC coilovers are a similar design to the BC and K Sport setups but with a better warranty and sold through us, your AZ vendor.

Out of curiosity, what is the failure rate of the ISC coilovers? How many per, say, 50 sold, do you have warranty or failure claims on? These sound like they'd be a good choice, however the price suggests they're a "budget" product. Nothing wrong with that, as long as they hold up!

It would suck to have one fail in the dead of winter- I know they can be serviced and what not, but that can mean weeks of downtime for us living in Canada.

I'd have to ask ISC as they do all the warranties but I would estimate only a few percent. Most of the time what is perceived as a warranty issue is really an installation issue where something was tightened or adjusted properly.

Also there is a great warranty: http://iscsuspension-na.com/warranty/

Wow, that IS good!

Now I don't know if I want to go with Tein or ISC in the spring time. I really wanted to get the EDFC...
