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 the tein basics and in the front a have a 1 finger gap the lowest setting on 17" wheels with 205-40-17 tires on the stock wheels and tires it tucks

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.

ashtonp 07-19-2006 10:45 PM

ah man i would, but i'm outta the country right now 'til August 18.

i have two finger gap all around wit about 10-13 threads left...so i'm sure i can lower it more so that the tire can tuck under. i also have tein basic.

pinoyjdmr 07-20-2006 12:20 AM

I guess I got the lowest one then no finger gap and no threads left I rolled out my fenders and its rolling on 15 with 205/50/15 yokohamas and its daily driven...

varner88 07-20-2006 08:50 AM

pinoy can you post sum pics please im also have the same wheel setup and i need to go lower..

Boost_Junkie 07-24-2006 05:05 PM

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..

mugenman 07-24-2006 05:54 PM

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....

varner88 07-25-2006 07:48 AM

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.

mugenman 07-25-2006 10:19 AM

i think a car looks better with a nice even drop but thats just me different strokes for different folks

varner88 07-25-2006 10:51 AM

lol you can still be slammed and even..

Ti71 08-08-2006 04:28 PM

For those with Basics how is your ride quality? I wanna get new coilovers cuz I'm bouncing all over the place with ksports.

luke02civic 08-08-2006 05:17 PM

I am on tein s techs and i have about a 1.5 finger gap in the front and about a finger gap in the back...besides my left rear is tucking, i think i may have hit a pothole out here in new orleans and bent my control arm or something...it sucks!

skipbarber 08-08-2006 05:42 PM

i have no gap, but im not tucking the front wheels with my SS. about 10-15threads remaining on the strut body. running 215/45-17.

burke420 08-08-2006 06:23 PM
