Nice rides! question... if you could, would you drop it more even for daily? I know Teins have limit as far as dropping, I see that adob0 has it all the way down... I ma getting Megan's and looking to tuck the hell out of those 20's just want to see whats realistic.

I'd definitely go lower, planning to get the SS Pro Kit since the Tein CS is max'ed.

MERKEDLS is killin' it with the drop.

MillerLite: If I could, I would most def go lower. The ride was so plush with the teins but it was no where near the stance I wanted.
