anyone got any pictures of the drop using TEINS?


also, does KYB make shocks/struts that work with lowering springs? i thought they only made OEM length shocks.


any links to online retailers would help, too...

I thought I posted pics of the drop before but I guess not. Here are some pics of the drop on Tein S-Tech.




Good drop, handles nice, not too stiff, and very affordable price. I think I got them for $125 shipped.

lol . . random

On a side note though I am planning on switching out my DF210 for Intrax springs. The DF210 sit a bit too high for my taste.

Cool

It's really almost a good thing. It means some forum newbs are using the SEARCH button and then - the unfortunate part - voting on OLD POLLS.

I think polls should auto-expire after 1 year to keep this from happening time after time after time.
