My xmas gift came early yesterday...Install went smoothly without any squeaky noises. The problem was how low to drop it. You want no finger gap and it'll be toooooo low.

I'll probably finish my LED conversion as part of my gift and then probably find other things to do with it to. Gas cards to can't forget about those.

Trust me, you don't. I thought the same thing but it looks better with a little less than 1 finger than super slammed (IMO)

If your going all the way down- the tein booklet will tell you whats ok- you will need camber kits front and rear- Adjustable ball joints for the front and adjustable lower control arms in the rear- gives total control over camber and toe- the tire saving devices~

Depending on the tire width- there can be a small issue with the plastic tab on the rear fender lip- nothing a little grinder action wont solve!

Drive it around the block after install then off to the alignment shop it goes.
I have the procedure for tightening the rear bars end links somewhere - will dig it out and PM you

You can't possible go the lowest height w/o scraping the pipes and stuff underneath the car. The speed bumps will hurt your car too. I went the lowest as it could go but I raised it back up after seeing what little clearance there was.

Nice gift! Somebody has been good this year!

Umm, I probably wouldn't go as low as possible either. You'll probably scrape on everything. IMO, TLs only look good slammed when done right. (Slammed JDM)

But, to each his own, just let us know what you end up doing and be sure to post pics! Other than that, good choice on the coilovers!
