So true Tony. The lower you go, the more tire wear. Mine is pretty even up front but I am lowered 1.25" at the most.

 

Im trying to run down my OEM tires, so I can get non runflats. lol. I hardly drive the car so the tires last long time. All my other cars were slammed. I never had to change tires on any of them. Mostly because my car hardly moves out of the garage lol.

 

can I get your old springs?

 

well i would still leave the spring i have in there but my tires are rubbing on the fender everytime i turn. Doesnt sound too good. I have to go with tein 1.3 in the front and 1.6 in the back. they only have three company that makes the spring for this car and the tein seems to be the most drop compare to other brands.. If you want to drop it more you have to get the whole suspension and that going to cost you... what brand of springs did you get to drop it -2 in the front and -3 in the back..tony?. and how big are your rims..

 

Yes you can Tony. I just got called today from Tein and its going to take 2-3 months for the new Tein springs to arrive from Japan.

 

Tony must be running on some special suspension setup.
3" drop in the rear is little extreme for this car. (of course, I am not talking about Bippu style )

Tein S-Tech springs can drop this car 1.26" in the front and 1.61" in the rear.
Tein H-Tech springs are the most conservative. F: -0.67" R: -1.02"
Tanabe, TTE and Eibach can drop this car a little more than an inch.

There are three more different brands of springs out there, but none of them can drop SC430 as low as Tein S-Tech.

RSR F: -1.18" R: -0.98"



Espelir F: -1.38" R: -1.38"



Zoom F: -1.38" R: -1.18"

 

ooops I didnt mean -2 and -3 inches I meant degree
s in camber. as to my reference with tires costing alot of money LOL but I got the tein springs once they settle in they are more then the advertised 1.3 and 1.6" drop I had to raise up my front and I think I am going to have to raise up my rear some

 

I looked Tein CST at http://www.tein.com/cstdamp.html

it shows 7kg front, 6 kg rear for SC430, but front should be 10 kg, right? must be some error in Tein website.

 

I didn't measure my stock ride heighth before installing the CST's, but I did measure another stock SC430 at the top of the wheel wells, and calculated my front and rear drop at 1 1/2" for both.

 

Okay so if the tein coilovers don't slam the car, which ones will?
