Any pics of how the ride looks?
The ebay member i am purchasing the coils from said it was easier to adjust the height with the tein wrenches. He said one of his buddies told him it was hard to adjust with the kpsort wrench.
Did you think that?
And when you say the ride is firm, does that mean you feel every bump on the road or is it smooth where you dont ?
thanks,

Step 1: Raise the spring perch enough to snug the spring, but not compress it. Use the locking collar to tighten the spring perch in place.
Step 2: Thread the lower mount UP to lower, and DOWN to raise the vehicle to the desired ride height
These are the two biggest things that people do wrong when installing have have horrible ride quality, then blame the product itself.

I'm going to say the ebay guy and his buddy are high.....as Chris pointed out the wrench is ONLY used to loosen the collar. once that is done, and the lower bolt is loose, you can adjust the ride height by hand, it's very easy. To say that the Tein wrench makes it wasier, makes no sense whatsoever....
The ride is firm, and I do have a lot of road feedback, but that how I have it set, thats the ride I was looking for. You can adjust it to ride closer to stock if that's what you are after.
I have not taken any pics yet....I figured if you have seen one lowered 2GS you have seen them all.
It will allow for some slight tuck, but you would be out of alignment spec. My car is as low as we could get it, and still stay within what the factory calls for. It is low enough that you can't fit your hand all the way through on top of the tire without your knuckles stopping it.

Does that mean they look like this...pics at the bottom? Or will it be lower? I tried to find pictures on my laptop, and thats all i had where you could tell the ride height at the back.

I am actually getting them from a member on here, they are brand new.
So when you say you cant stick your hand far enough because the knuckles stop you. Does that mean they look like this...pics at the bottom? Or will it be lower? I tried to find pictures on my laptop, and thats all i had where you could tell the ride height at the back.

Mine is very similar to what you have pictured. They WILL go lower, but again, you will be out of alignment specs. Some RCA's will be in the near future if you want to ride any lower with out abnormal tire wear.
