Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

tein ss is a full coilover with spring and shock, i doubt the oem shocks would swap into them.

Sorry should have been more clear. The tein S tech lower spring. Their site says EM2 only for the part number but when you go to the pics to see what it looks like it also says ES1. I know they fit on the sedan just want to see how bad the sag is.

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

I would hate to see my ride that way. I'll keep saving til I can afford to get Tokico Blues and Tein S instead of wasting money, time, and energy.

My car looks nastily high on 17" rims w/ 215/45.

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

I remember my first drop. The process is so boring, but the outcome is worth it. I almost forgot how big the gap is on oem wheels. Kinda makes it look like a monster truck..

..well maybe not that bad.

Re: Official Suspension Drop Pictures Post

I lowered it using Skunk 2 ,2" Lowering springs. I will be changing out these springs for adjustable coilovers in the future, so i can get the front even lower.
