i <3 Tein Super Street =)
Tein Super Street Dampers...thanks to all the guys who went to the inland minimeet at King of Pain's pad that helped me install them...
Rims are Privat 19x8 +30mm offset....special thanks to JLB Motorsports 951.734.4411 for the rims, tires, and teins... i <3 JLB
The ride is ultra smooth...it's more firm than stock by just a tad...i haven't messed too much with adjustment yet...i've only driven the car like 2 miles...the coilovers are set at 8 in the front and 8 in the rear (16 is firmest, 1 is softest)

Nice ride. The drop is perfect and I personally wouldn't make it any lower. I was looking into getting those wheels for my 99TL-P but I dont think 19's with that offset would work. I think the highest the offset comes in that wheel is 40(sucks) but sweet ride. Thumbs up playa!!!

Looks great!!! I would lower the front another 1/2 inch just so it doesn't look like your rear is sagging. But I love how the rear looks with no finger gap.

i've only driven the car 2 miles so i'm sure the front will settle a little...the rear looks totally dump, but it's not because i had about 80lbs in the trunk...i had a jack, two jack stands, all the tools and my old shocks not to mention a 12" sub and amp...

I love it bro! I wish i lived in CA and could get away with 19's and slammed drop! I can't do anything much more than my a-spec 18's and suspension

Lookin good Revolution. Glad we could help. How was the drop on the back once you took all the stuff out of the trunk.
Let me know if you help with the body kit.

well u said u dont feel the differance when u adjust it, so recommendding u to put it at 8 and 8 wouldnt help right?....but if u feel more comfortable driving with the koni/comptech setup then thats all that counts, just let me know how it is and next time we meet again i gotta get a ride, i never got a chance to get a ride with that combo. ohh btw can u email me the pics u took at the meet? i forgot my camera home that day.lol...thanks man

so it looks like it's settled in a bit? the rear now has nothing except my sub box in the trunk and it's just as low as it was before with about 100lbs in the trunk...
front is definately lower...i rubbed today going up a drive way so i'm gonna have to raise it up just a tad
overall...i still love them...awesome coilovers...very quiet ride still...no suspension noise what so ever and the ride is great with 19s

you're going to raise it more?? I think it's too high as it is. If you keep it that height you might as well use the aspec springs!! NO need for the coils. I have Tein STech and I know I'm sitting lower than that?!? what gives??
and just my personal opinion but get rid of the mudflaps. I was so happy I did. Makes my wheels look so much better! Plus, we live in cali, there isn't much rain or mud!!

now the whole thing about understeer...FWD drive cars generally understeer...now that your putting 9.5s in the back, my guess is you're doing 8.5s in the front or else it'll look wack...and since you're doing that...wider tires in the rear i'm sure? maybe a 265? 275? what that will do is make the rear end have more traction...which in turn wont let the rear end "swing" around like it's suppose to on a FWD...so in other words...understeer is when you want the car to go in one direction, and it doesn't...oversteer is when you start doing donuts...or something like that...but if you don't drive your car hard...stagger that son of a...=)

Looks pretty clean. Do you like how they feel? I have Tein Super Streets on my Accord and I don't really like them... they are too soft for my tastes.
