Default Tein Basics Installed (pics)

This is what happens when BAD meets EVIL.

BAD


EVIL


RESULTS


Here are the front and rear stock ride height photos



Here is the front and rear a couple of hours after install



The ride is fantastic, it really has a hovering feeling to it on straight aways and sporty feeling in the turns. In the pics the ride height is set at what TEIN suggests in the manual, the ideal setting for the springs that come with the coilovers.

It doesnt take too much to get springs installed. Your gonna need atleast a hydraulic jack. Your also gonna need spring compressors. From what I hear the fronts arent bad but the rears are a PITA

My bro made it, its not in the most visible area while driving, but it's the perfect location for how it's installed.

It doesnt really have to be in a visible area. I was talking about the wires in that compartment area seems kinda cramped. I'm loving it.

Tenney I love the drop...thats perfect! I think the car looks great. Would you be able to take some shoots from the rear like ground level so I could see the angle of the tire?

Q's:

When lowered did you purhcase camber kits front and back ...if one or the other list which one. And would you happen to know if the stock camber arms on our car will give us enough room to get the right camber so the tires won't eat themselves.

Oh and I vote for bigger pictures man..come on!
