Can anybody who has the TEIN SS on an 01 civic tell me how much they could lower it max, cause the guy that put mine on said the front wont go any lower than 2 finger gap and i was expecting more, thanks.

also if i lower with stock tires, 185/65/15, so is there any gap between there?

 
Rep Power: 432

yes. rear goes lower than front

 
Rep Power: 432

depends how much you drop..
if you drop all the way. you will probbaly have about 1 finger gap on front.
rear goes lower though

hmm wouldn't you want front lower then back?

 
Rep Power: 432

no.
you should make it EVEN front and rear.
tein ss does not go low on front compare to rear

 
Rep Power: 0

ok even but not lower in the back? looks like you cut ur springs or ur car is going to launch into space

 
Rep Power: 432

i said even all around . meaning same amount of finger gaps aall around. thats how my car was, looke perfectly good
this is FlyRiceRacer02's car. his rear is LOWER than front but looks fine. check it out

do the tein ss come with upper mounts
or do you have to use the stock ones

 
Rep Power: 432

tein ss does NOT come with upper monuts. you will have to use stock ones. which is perfectly fine.

what size tire is fly running? 215/45/17 or 205/40/17?

 
Rep Power: 432

205/40/17

 
Rep Power: 320

I hate my 215/45/17.....

I think I want 215/40....or 205/40.

 
Rep Power: 432

haha why? i had 215/45/17 , perfect size imo.

 
Rep Power: 320

I hate them!! They are too thick and I cant go as low on my Teins as I want to.

Well my Teins get installed next week and I will find out, I want to go low like fly did but I think I will scrub.

 
Rep Power: 432

i had tein ss with 215/45/17. perfect size!!



no rubbing

 
Rep Power: 320

How much are you lowered in those pics?

 
Rep Power: 432

i dont exactly remember. or i cant even measure since i sold my car. anyways im guessing around 2 inch.

 
Rep Power: 320

How come people with goldines and 215/45/17 rub and thats a 1.75 drop???

 
Rep Power: 432

maybe because of thier offset of rims. that might cause rubbing. my rims offset is 43.

 
Rep Power: 320

I dunno...Im going to ask what my offset is when I get my tires rotated tomorrow.

I have 17x7.5 so it should be 43 but not exactly sure.
