Sup Guys... I just got my Tein SS installed on my 01 Civic Coupe. I have the fronts set down half way about an inch and 1/2 drop, and the rear all the way down about a 3 inch drop. My problem is the car looks the same height as before with stock springs and strut. I could feel the stiffer suspension and better handling but the car looks the same.

But here is my question for the peeps with the Teins installed:

1. Any of you thought that even at this setting your ride looks like stock height?... I mean no change in ride height at all.

2. I know that the springs probably need to sit and settle down a while... I am just wondering how long it took to do that and...

3. what settings do you have on the Teins? both height and stiffness?

Thanks in advance for the input.

uh no... i am not kidding. And I did lower the springs with the adjustment keys. Read the post! I am posting because I adjusted the Teins and I don't see a difference in ride height. The rear is all the way down and the fronts are almost all the way down.

Well, I have a 2-3 finger gap in the rear and the front is about 2 finger gap. I have the rear dropped all the way down and the fronts down a lil more than halfway. I know the rears sit higher than the front... that is why I dropped them all the way. I don't know why it seems like it's barely dropped on the settings I have. Maybe it just need to sit for awhile. I will try to take pics later to show you guys what I mean.
