LOOKS GREAT! But I am glad I cancelled order for Tein's. TOO low for Chicago. Eibach Pro's are going in instead. BUT your car is beautiful Bro !

Big tuck...

Can you post more picture after you raise it to 1 3/4 all around... I have same color car... still waiting for my 19" and Tein SS... and I plan to drop it about 1.5-1.7', but want to see how does it look... so if you can post some more picture, that would be awsome....

How bout the damper setting... how do you set it..? how is it compare to stock ride?

Thanks bro

I will try and post pics of it raised tonight. The car rides amazing, however it can get a bit rough on really cracked roads.

I have the Front Dampers set at 3 clicks from the softest and the rear 6 clicks.

I had the car out to the track this weekend and had the dampers set full stiff... Wow did the car ever stick.. I had to soften the front up a bit to get the car to grab a bit more.

All in all very cool.. I will try and get picks out tonight..

Is the alignment and cambr in spec now? I set my car up at that height originally and without a camber kit, there was no way they could bring it into spec. How wide are your tires? I have 245's all the way around. Also, I scaped all the time and the tires were getting tore up...I end up raising it a 1/2 inch and the ride was greatly improved, everything went right to spec, no need to re-align anything, and no more rubbing or scrapping...I don't know about you, but with is running $8-900 a pop to replace tires I am trying to get as much out of them as possible.

Here is a picture of the initial drop:



Here is after I lifted it a little

Chicoog....

Awesome ride man , that's perfect... Can you please elaborate more:

1. so after you raise it... how much drop is that 1.5"? 1.75"?
2. what damper setting are you using? how is the ride?.... I know is impossible to compare to stock, since it's different shock... but since that's the only thing I can compare right now, what damper setting should I set to simulate close to stock ride

Thanks for the props...

It is 25 1/4 inches from ground to fender...I'm not sure how that translates to inches dropped. I don't bottom out going up driveways and the tires very rarely rub when turning up a driveway...I tried a number of ride heights and this seems the most practical...gives the car a good look, decent tread wear ( it is within range for both camber and alignment), and minimal scrapping.

I set it at 4 from softest in front and 2 from softest in the rear. In addition, I have the comptech sway bar for more stability around corners. It rides real smooth. I wouldn't say like stock, but I drive 2500 per month and it is comfortable enough.

I found I had to just experiment for a month or two until I found the right set-up for my driving style. Good luck

can anyone translate the drop inch amount for me? I'm still waiting the same wheel as you... I think that drop amount is perfect.
For the drop, (as many members too) I'm still debating on tein ss or koni yellow... more incline to tein ss.. but some other member told me that tein ss is bit too rough even with the damper adjustment compare to koni yellow becuase of the type of spring that tein has... but it seems that your opinion say otherwise.... This is the first time I'm lowering my car... so I guess i'm not really use to stiff ride, though I don't mind bit firm-ness in exchange of look and better handling.. but nothing crazy...

Thanks for the help...
