I had it set up nose down.

I need to get my new S to those figures as it's scraping the floor!
That doesn't look (to my untrained eye) a lot different to stock ride height?




In fact mine looks lower

Totally O/T, but is that an Oulton Park drift day there s2k_Nut? Do they still run them? Getting big urges to do another one.....

Has yours sagged? Mine was 20mm drop over standard OEM settings. My 55k miles suspension had sagged about 8mm which is to be expected.

The front is noticeably lower. The rear has come down a bit. My car has 61k on the clock so I suspect there some sagging but not a lot.

Best to measure the ride height front to rear and adjust to stock specs. It's easily done or you can get WIM to do it for you at a cost.

Spring preload is very important with Tein's - get that right and it'll ride close to stock.

Hmmm quite possible I guess, near 70k on my clock now.

msisleman - yeah its an oulton drift day, and yes they still do them, one quite recently I think.

Mine on monoflex:




Lower it

As for spring preload, Tein says that you shouldn't have any.
