They will be a sportier ride than stock but retain a comfortable feel. If you just need them for a small to medium drop and daily driving, these are perfect for you. If you want to slam the car or hit the track, look elsewhere.

You'll wanna check out our page here:
https://www.heeltoeauto.com/quote_request.php

We'll match just about anyone.

Frankly I am sure Excelerate will also. The "ebay beats ur price by far" is kind of a rib jab...you might consider giving your vendor forum folks an opportunity against the faceless eBay juggernaut; home to countless shady shops operating under multiple names and lying about inventory levels. Places that don't even have their own websites...yet somehow earn your business just because of some numbers on a screen.

We're here to help you, after all. "eBay" isn't.

Please go with a forum vendor. It's not worth saving twenty bucks to buy from some random company who may not have authentic components or whos warranty won't be honored by the manufacturer (not authorized dealer). If anything goes wrong or you need help, our vendors will help you ASAP.

i just installed my street flex last night and did the tein recommended 10 front, 12 rear but it was "floaty" so i changed it to 8 and 8. to me it doesn't really matter though because i run edfc active so i have like 30 presets that change based on speed and acceleration. i was just trying to feel how it differed from my previous tein ss setup

when i read the street advance thread (you should check there), i think a lot of people do 8 and 8, or 6 front 8 rear.

when i had my first set of coilovers i left the rear seat out for about a week to figure out what i liked. of course that doesn't work if you have kids or drive people around for work.

just make sure you don't drive with the strut bar off because there were complaints of windshields cracking.

I just adjusted them all to 8 , feels fine to me compared to function and forms which are on the firmer side. I also drilled a tiny hole if ever need to firm them up a little.

Looking real good! For comparing heights, measure right: https://www.heeltoeauto.com/tech-art...rs-height.html

For tuning the ride, use this method: https://www.heeltoeauto.com/tech-art...e-street..html

i did the center cap to fender measurement too but don't remember it

i just used the FTG method because i know a lot of people on here reference it and are more familiar with it, even though it's not super accurate.

good info though!
