If i ever were to recommend a product...it would be the Tein SS-P coilover package. I installed them all by myself and could not be happier with the results. I eye checked the camber all around and it looks utterly amazing! Its PERFECT! With stock 17" wheels and tires, the coilovers from the factory get rid of any and all wheel gap. I have no scrubbing or anything whatsoever. HIGHLY recommended.
Now...as far as the hotchkis sway bars are concerned. I have not installed those yet. The one in the front will be a bit more difficult to install, especially now that my car is lowered a good bit. I am in SERIOUS need of a car lift, but everywhere i go to ask if i can use someones, they say that they cant due to insurance reasons. SO DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET SOME CAR LIFT TIME!!!!! I would REALLY appreciate the help! Also if anyone is experienced in installing them and would like to help, i would greatly appreciate that too!!!

 

My buddy and I did the fronts just on jack stands.
It was kinda tight, and when I crancked the 15,000 bolts back on, I nearly dropped the engine on my face (at least I thought it was going to!) but all in all it was done in a few hours. LOVE IT!
Did you do the rear already?

Oh, and where are the pics?

 

good luck with the install. doing mine tomarrow on the front sway. hopefully those endlinks come off easy ;)

 

Yeah the endlinks are easy...Its one bolt..I had to disconnect the rear endlinks to get the stock suspension in the rear off. Bolts right back on. Piece of cake.

 

Yeah I was gunna say...besides the bar being a tight fit everything else is easy.

 

I don't know how much you lowered it, but getting it ONTO the lift might be problematic, they're about the height of a standard drive-on car stand.

I think a "tuner" or "low profile" jack is in order.

 

I did not adjust the height of the coilovers at all. They magically were perfect right out of the box. That makes things easier. As far as having 18's, i am not sure what that would require. But with 17's it completely does away with the wheel gap while having no rubbing or tire issues at all! If anything another half inch drop could probably be possible. But bottoming out might become a problem. Ill post pics when i get some. Until then, happy tuning yall.

 

lol...."scrubbing"

 

Hows the handling difference?

 

definitely a marked improvement. i get no body roll unless im doing a hairpin at like 40. even then its barely there. i just cant wait to install my sways tomorrow. THEN itll be just PERFECT!!!!!

 

Hey,

Do you know any topics out there that shows someone how to install the coilovers on the tC?

 

You can use the posts listed at club-tc, here. Since they are instructions for spings and struts, it should be the same as doing coilovers.

 

when i installed my tein ss-p, the rear was a lot more cambered than the front which results in unnecessary understeer. you should look into getting it it aligned, it should help a lot. have fun.

 

awesome!!!! where is the pics by the way??????......

 

Drive your car onto a little ramp.. Then raise your car.. Something like a wedge or something...

 

sorry for the dead thread jacking... do you have pics?

 

Not from SL but it is a good write-up. http://my.prostreetonline.com/forums...hread.php?t=86

Thats a good find.....good right up. That needs to be added to our tech section.
