i just got some tien ss coilovers and dose anyone know why the front wont drop more than a finger gap, looking to have no gap. is there a trick or is that as low as its going to go? the rear can be dropped with no problem. thanks

 

who did the install? they suppose to slam.

 

post pic? tein ss dont go extra low.
i had them, then got D2's to go lower and for a better ride.

 

Tein SS don't really slam the ride. The Flex's (idk if they make them for these cars) tend to drop a tad bit lower.

 

i did the install, the rear can drop a lot but the front still has like a finger gap.... damn it that was the whole reason why i got coilovers in the first place

 

i just want to go like 1/2 inch lower... can i remove one of the things that spin to drop the coil like 3 more spins?

 

I have Tein CS coilovers and when I had stock 18s they were dumped with 0 finger gap all around. Now I have 19s and it has a half finger gap.

Pretty sure there is something wrong with your SS since they go way lower than the CS for sure.

 

I have tein cs to and i have one finger gap in front and half in the rear and i m on 19is.The dealer told me that i can go lower in front if i want to but the suspension want work properly.

 

here is a pic..... going to disassemble everything today and check it out but from what people have been saying these were not ment to slam

 

Yeah tein don't go low. Some people take out one of there locking nut. That why most cl isx50 member don't run them. But is your lock nut all the way down?

 

Yup, looks like your all the way down. They just dont go super low.

 

weird, i have the same coilovers, my wheels are tucked and i still have 2-3 full turns

 

Yeah the locking nut is all the way down. Might just leave it like that for a bit =\ oh well. Sucks

 

had these... they go pretty low with tires tucked. got a picture with fender and wheel gap?

 

my IS on tein ss, all the way down.
