i ran them. honestly. these can slam to the ground. i think max is 4"? not sure but its around there. however. it IS a stiff ride, so if ur looking for comfort. this is not it. if u want slammage but dont mind a stiff ride then NEX is ur man "or product". oh and they also dont last to long.

my honest opinion? dont get it. its not worth that much money. theres lots of other brands out there that u can get used for about the same price as NEX. if not save up a few more paychecks about 3-4hundred and u got ur self a killer brandnew set of Teins or Megan

It all depends on, what type of drop do you want. And what Kind of stiffness do you want?

keep in mind, any sort of drop WILL stiffen the ride.

here is the thing... coilovers are only good for those who want to adjust height occasionally... the koni yellows, aren't as easy to adjust as coilovers.... soooo they are a pain to adjust, but the ride is definitely better...

koni yellows with any springs might out perform tein ss but they will not out perform megan

I have to pretty much agree with everything Wseminuk said. He's right on about how stiff they are and you can drop your car lower on these than with Teins. I think you can drop your car about 1" - 1.5" lower than Tein coilovers.

If you're into a comfortable ride then I wouldn't get them.

If you're an aggressive driver and like riding stiff then you'll be happy with them. They help the car corner pretty well.

To be honest, On all the cars that I have had Coilovers on, I have never played with the height, its to much of an hassel....

I had Tockico's adjustable on my SRT4 and I change the stiffness of the shocks every now and then....But that wasnt an hassel to do...

I've read alot of the threads on here....Looks like I want to get a nice drop, one that won't leave to much wheel cap with some 19's......
