Had them put on today,and it makes such a big difference in look,and ride handling department.
I highly recommand the Tein CS to anyone thats looking for near stock ride quality with performance in mind.I have stock 17's and have one finger gap with these coils.
Thanks to all of you guys for posting pics and encourging me to get this setup.you guys rock,and the Teins CS rock harder.Awesome love it.

wow, 1 finger gap on 17's...I'd hate to be you come oil changing time.

As is, I have a hard enough time getting my lowrider jack under my car on eibachs, muchless co's and I'm at maybe 2.5-3 fingers up front.


ya'll are crazy, what can I say

i am at 1.5 finger up front and still settling .. you should see the ends of my ltuned side skirts how close they are to the ground..as far as oil changes , no longer a option .. cant get a jack under there so i will just drive till the engine burns up



Just joking.. nothing nailing 2 pieces of 2x4 together and driving up one to another cant cure to give the clearance for my floor jack

the other day i was pulling into my bank to make a deposit (instead of constant withdrawels for a change , damm modding) and i actually scraped the bottom frame rail going up the pavement...

bro, if you could explain to me how to do this wooden board thing, I'd appreciate it do I nail them side by side or on top of each other?

thanx....

sure

what you do is take a piece of 2x4 have it cut to 30in then take a second piece of 2x4 cut to 15 inch .. nail the shorter piece to the longer piece making sure to recess the nail head (use a roofing nail , they have a wide head to prevent possibly of punct tire)..


so now you will use the first 15in to drive up on without making the block slide then slowly drive up onto to the second piece and now you have plenty of clearance for any jack
