Had a mechanic friend help me install them, one snag with a locking nut giving me a little trouble but it certainly wasn't their fault. It went pretty darn quick putting it all on. Went almost all the way down in the rear without taking any parts off, and about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch from the bottom on the front. I think i'm going to raise it up a bit but there aren't any issues other than i dont really care to drive like i'm lowered. Here are some pics, my wheels are 16". The pics didn't come out how i wanted so i'm going to shoot some more soon.

Megans would be the way to go. Adjustable dampening would be the ticket.

Well, let me rephrase my answer... it all depends on what you want to do and your definition of 'flush'. A 'flush' 20 sizing will be something along 20x8.5 +35mm with a 225/35R20 tire. You may need a minor fender roll in the rear and a little work up front. There will be a minor stretch, but not too drastic. You'll be pretty 'flush', but it's all subjective.
Just like the other full TAP coilovers, the rear shocks are threaded. Which I like.

Hey ATNasty, I get the feeling that you want to be really low (like I do). I have these put on and maxed all the way out on the lowest they can possibly go without removing the perch rings. I still have a 1 to 2 finger gap in the rear but it tucks the front a little tiny bit. I was kinda disappointed with them because they didnt go that low. I had racelands on my tc and was running the TRD 18's and was tucking up to 3 fingers all the way around. Right now on the box i have the OEM 16's. Just saying if you want to go really low then these are not the coils for you

Thumbs up

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I went ahead and bought these today, too. Even though I already have a huge issue driving at stock height, I'm going to bottom these out and see how it goes ... Here's a picture stock height:



I'm always looking for the budget way out ... I've run without springs on stock struts before, and it was horrible ... I'm sure these will be tremendously better. Sorry for being such an a__s___h__e about vehicular safety ...
