why don't you pay attention before you post something dumb, i asked to see pics of TEIN COILOVERS at the lowest settings, not ___ trd springs that 99% of this forum think is "slammed". either post some pics or don't bother posting in here.

hey there are also these other coilovers that are made by PROGRESS AUTO. they lower your car 1.5 inches when they are just installed...and you can lower them from 1-3 inches more, meaning you can drop your car 4.5inches...and s-techs are low enough? i just had the h-techs installed and i love it, except the rear could be a little lower

i looked into the progress coilovers also, but many friends of mine run tein on their cars and have had nothing but great things to say about them. and yes the s-techs that are currently on my car are DEF not low enough for me. i want this thing on the ground without having to bag it. i will post pics when they are installed and when my wheels are on, just waiting for this wacky NY winter to end

Ok I have a question about these ground control "sleeves"..

Since im new to the suspension topic.. Will I need anything else if I were to purchase these ground control coilovers? I have tein s-techs right now and from the CC site you gave out.. it says that they are designed to be used with stock or aftermarket springs.. Since I have the s-techs will these be compatible with the ground control coilovers?

I'm more of a "show" guy than performance, but I'd want to have quality and comfortablity as well..

So basically this is just to adjust your springs ride height? If so, i'd love to lower the rear of the s-techs a little since it's higher than the front.

Will I Need new shocks as well? Or i can use the stock shocks?

are you planning to buy coilovers?? if so, then you might as well use the coilovers with the springs it came with, you cant just buy the sleeves. And yes, coilovers can adjust ride heights. you dont need to buy aftermarket shocks, can use yur stock shocks.

or you can cut your rear springs

its not woth having your car so low. Especially for everyday use. if your car sits that low, your shocks wont have as much time to compress and will feel too stiff, causing some bending of your rims. i had a set of coilovers and i would never get them again. ANYWAY, check this drop out. its sits pretty dam low. click on the stock, then on the pro kit. tell me what you think
