Default Tein S-Tech springs with stock rims.

I know there was a post already with pictures of a tein s-tech drop, but heres one with my stock rims still on. I plan on changing them out to 19's after winter passes.
It's still a good drop despite just dropping it last night. I'm sure within a week it'll set nicely. I HAD the TRD springs, but it just wasn't low enough for my taste. I too have NO rubbing and I love 'em!

My boyfriend owns a shop. He owns an integra and loves working on his and other peoples cars...I noticed you live in IL. If you need a hook up, i'm sure he'd install yours for $50...much better than what you pay at the dealer...

We dropped it 24 hours ago so it has yet to settle. The drive is of course a little more sensitive than stock but I can't really tell. Like I said, I went from stock, to TRDS, to TEINS, so it was kind of a slow transition. Plus i've been paying more attention to my new intake rather than the handling. But all is well! ;)

K&N CAI...which i'll probably sell in a year cause i'm planning on getting a sc or start building up for a turbo...but it's all for fun for now.
I haven't cked out the camber yet but I'll take a look at it as soon as I get in there again. I'm runing stock shocks for now. I was thinking of getting TRDS but i'll wait to see how the shocks take to he new drop...if I have to replace the shocks than i'll get TRDS..

I've had mine on a week tomorrow, and after measuring the current height yesterday, I'm sitting at 2.25" in the front, and 2" in the rear. The camber is off by several degrees...but its does got one hellva stance!

The rides very nice and solid, very nice in the turns too. I've noticed better handling off the bat.

Still have to get my alignment done...have any of you had your alignment done yet? Curious to know how much the factory camber plates will correct the negative camber...see if it worth pay'in, or just wait for an aftermarket camber plates.

Hotchkis will be releasing there camber correction kit to resolve our dilema soon. But not soon enough. :?

BTW: Those of you that have already got the K/N typhoon kits are lucky...some of us now have to wait due to a back order. I called into K/N directly...but my friend said they'd be on backorder for about month...hellva deal too...THOSE BASTARDS!?!?
