Default Some new pics!!! Lowered FINALLY!!!
UPDATED W/ BETTER PICTURES









After months of riding highwaters like Steve Urkel, I finally busted the piggy bank and got some Tein SS coilovers installed. Teddy at Dynamic Auto Service in Westminster performed the work.

The Tein SS, to many of our suprise, was much softer than I thought. We didnt even notice that the default setting was at stiffest. The car felt like stock riding on 19s unless your going over road bumps.

Fortunately, there were no fender modifications required and the alignment specs stayed within acceptable range. The front camber setting is at -0.4 while the rear is at -1.8

In case if you guys are wondering about the tire sizes. Im running 245/35/19 and 275/30/19 and the wheels are 8.5" and 9.5" wide.

More pics...

Nice job!

Your car is coming along very well. I hope you have a good alarm if you plan on parking in the scary alley.... That blue van gives me the creeps.
