Myself and Johnee78 are running Tein CS full coilover suspension with 16 point stiffness adjustment.

KTS_gs3 is running Tein HA full coilover suspension and I think it is also has 16 point stiffness adjustment. Also has the EDFC.

LexAristo, how low are your CS's set ? (top/mid/bot?)The car looks great in your pix. Teins old tech info says max lowering with the CS is 1.7" front, 2.2" rear. Yours looks like a bit more than that.

Thanks alot!

My fronts are all the way and so is my rear passenger side. My rear driver side still has about 6 threads left. I am also driving daily on the stiffest setting in which the **** is turned all the way to the right.

Jlam, you got any pix of yours ?
I want to get the flex's. A friend has them on his scooby wrx and they are sick.
According to Tein there are no more sets of any teins in the US for the jzs147 and they are all special order.
Do you guys know of a site that tells the difference between the different models ?
I looked on teins site (and mabe I didnt look hard enough)but I didnt see anything that tells the differences.
I didnt even know the HA's were EDFC compatable.

i dont know exactly how many inches its lowered but there is no gap. I can go about .5" more in front and around 1" or so in back. I actually had the tires tucking at first but i dont think i could get the alignment back into specs. The setup now is actually very very close to specs so i left it there....no uneven tire wear and it rides nice!! I have 19x9.5 rear, 19x8.5 front.

LexAristo: Thanks!!! yes they're axis milano...the offset isn't as agressive as I would like in the back so I'm going to put some spacers on it. I have Fujitsubo full catback exhaust.

NIce! I have 20mm spacers in the rear and my offset is now 15.

You will love the look after! WHere did you get the exhausts and if you do mind me asking, how much did you pay? Notice any power?

Thanks!
