looks good to me. If your not scraping than keep it at that height.

Looks really good to me, don't raise it. Mine's a bit lower (Tein Flex also).

Do you have EDFC? If it's a bit firm, adjust the dampers.

Looks good to me. If anything, I'd drop it a touch.

I'm actually thinking of dropping mine a bit more... I think I'll wait until the audio is finished to make a firm decision. I am also waiting for the Daizen front control arm bushings, at which time I will also replace the lower ball joints. The car is getting "darty" on the freeway- the 'caster arms' are in bad shape, need bushings!!!!!!
BTW, my rear H&R coilovers are already 6mm away from as low as they can go!

Looks good Nice to see some pics with the new wheels on. So what size tires did you end up going with?

well he got the tein flex so i guess he doesn't have to worry anything about cutting springs at all
