Question How To Lower Tien SS


Ok I heard the tien ss lower to about 2.5-3 inches I think I have it lowered as far is it can go. I still have gap in the front wheels. I want to lower the car as far as I can to at least tuck the wheels a bit...looks better at shows. Any idea how I can get that done with no headaches..
Thanks a bunch fellas....

Weaponx12o is on a distinguished road
teins cant go that low.. they only go about 2" maybe 2.25" at most. it can go down to 3" for other cars though, but not ours

the best way to solve this is get 18's if you dont already, they will take away all gap (or most at least)

The best way to get rid of gap is go with 19s.

dude, keep the "ultimate slam" look for shows. you dont have enough ground clearance to drive around on streets... though i guess anything is possible if you want it bad enough.

if you wanted slam you should have went with something else. I agree with civicvtec1ps, Teins were built for performance and handling

go with bags for the ultimate slammed look so then when time to leave the show you can have the driving ride height

TOOLOWCIVIC,

What suspension are you running? Your drop looks perfect?

Also, what wheel size and tire dimensions?

Thank you.

Terry
