Just picked up my car after the install and all seems well with the ride, but I was wondering how low others have gone? Anyone install to TEIN "recomendations"?

I told the shop to install at TEIN recommendations but the front seems quite low!

The reference value in the install manual says that ride height should be approximately 13.2 inches from "wheel center to fender edge" all the way around. (But...they do say that "this value may vary depending upon the spring rates, vehicle weight and options.")

My height is about 13.4 rear and 12.4 front. (stock was 14.5 rear and 14.0 front).

I'll take picks and post tomorrow. No wheel rub, but damn those driveways and speed bumps are a bitch!

As for driving impressions. Well...I need an alignment first!

What I can tell you is that on the softest setting (16) the ride is more solid than stock and smoother (my wife would actually ride in the car now). On level 8, the ride is only slightly stiffer than stock, but again gives a much more solid feel to the car. Reminds me of my fathers Porsche turbo S. On full stiffness (0), be sure to carry a baggy to piss blood in because it was made for the track!!!

 

drive the car for a few weeks then measure. the car will settle in on the springs. I dumped mine about 2" under stock, some go lower some got higher, it all depends on your style and how many speedbumps/ steap driveways you have to go up!
