Uneven tire wear question for you guys with the Teins.
I will probably go with stock 17s for now, but will eventually go with 18s. Now if I'm going drop the car about an 1" or 1.25", will these Tein setups cause uneven tire wear?

uneven tire wear is from bad alignment. with 1" drop i THINK the car can still be within spec, if aligned correctly

Just back up what rominl said, I have my car lowered with eibachs and my alignment was brought back within specs..I guess you have to find a shop that specializes in lowered cars..

2. No.
3. RMM will fit EDFC on Flex and CS. UGO will fit on CS.
4. Your call. Every piece contributes is some ways.
5. TMEngineering or Carson. Call them for pricing. Should be around 1300 for coilovers and low 300s for EDFC.

Looks like an RVM strut bar should work with EDFC and Flex or any Teins. They're WAY cheaper than the RMM strut bar which I got. I could find an RVM one at the time.
