Hey sean thanks for hanging out with me on saturday while I got my tein ss installed. It was a lovely drive out to PA in them.. It was very precise and no body roll while I was going a steady 85-95 all the way.
I'm still debating whether I should lift up the car more. My other friend who saw the car thought I was sick because I dropped it that low..LOL
I'll have pictures up soon....

Yeah you should raise up the suspension a bit. I drove through Brooklyn yesterday, and there are so many dips that you will destoy your front bumper and chassis.

its low ...i was anticipating a much harsher ride but its pretty good. I had to head out to PA to visit some friends so I got a chance to break them in. Highway driving was incredible the car definitely felt like it was on rails. The only thing was when I got back to the citythen I realized how bad the roads are here becuase I felt every nook and cranny with these coilovers.
I'm very happy with them i'll let you know how it goes with the edfc install.
i'll have pictures up soon.

Did you use your stock bump stops with your install or the one that came with the kit? I used the stock ones

Well I have it at 3 threads in front and 6 in the back. That gives me about two fingers all around. You could go lowe with no problem since the max drop is 1.8 inches with the bilsteins. Check out Dave Gs4's car. He has pics up with it cranked all the way down. I will take pics of mine very soon and post them.
