If you have TEIN Suspension

At your lowest setting, how much room in inbetween the tire and the fender in the front?
It seems like I can fit my index finger inbetween, but I wanted it lower still. Does everyone else that has TEIN basic dampers have a one finger gap?

I have SS and I'm on 15's. I have no finger gap at all, and I can still go about an inch lower. I think I have something like 7 or 8 threads left.

i tuck on stockers (195/65/15) with 4-5 threads left

same settings with my rotas (205/50/15) are like 1 1/2 finger gap around...i guess i could tuck my rotas like pinoy if i go all the way down, but thatd be too low for me...

im on tein basics w/ f&r spc camber kit..

why does everyone want to tuck so bad? i just dont see a point in it except for show reasons and if ur just spending that kind of money on coilovers just so u can tuck wouldnt air ride be the better choice? someone explain the whole craze behind tucking im not knocking it i just dont understand it....

the car itself looks better tucked. and air suspension sucks when you drive with the bags not blown and air suspension is just gay all together.
