yeah i have the Tein CS and i have it lowered all the way on all four corners, rides nice and smooth depending on your shock settings. but like they stated above, it does not lower as much as other coilover setups.but i think its a Nice drop for the stock wheels.more of a tasteful drop to match the car.bu thats just me.

please post pics of your car jdmis350.

Hey OP. have u considered the BC Racing coils? they have really good reviews from other CL members. It has a good drop with enhanced handling, but may not be as soft as the tein CST.

I wouldn't put Tein on my dog's lawnmower. You, however, can certainly do as you choose.

if you're looking into entry-level, budget coilovers, also look into offerings from megan racing and BC racing. i believe CircuitMS can quote you for both.

my $0.02.

Well honestly both are really good especially megans and BCs. But IMO I'd stick to the JDM route.

yeah i have pictures but i haven't really figured out how to post them up. cuz i never really post pictures.but i can give u a link to an old my space and just load them up on there haha. if u really want to see them.but if you don't care to much i wont bother to do it. other than that from what i read i say BC arent a bad coilover to start off with. Try Stance a little more than BC but a little less than Tein CS and goes lower, good build quality,good spring rates for slammed cars.thats my next coilover.so if you realy want to try the cs im selling them soon.
