Very nice, have you done the "Clover Leaf" test yet? (After a little break in time for the new springs)
After I switched from stock to Eibach, KYB AGX, and Michelin Pilot Sport AS, my max speed going through clover leaf interchanges went from the 50's to the 60's. A police officer friend of mine from Kentucky was thoroughly amazed when I pulled away from him through a turn like he was standing still.

true coilovers....i still ride and feel liek stock, only i'm a good couple inches lower.
here's a good test malaka, get a roll of white tape, put it on top of your tire, and take a picture head-on. that should show us how much gap you have...i don't wanna see pictures from above...a little too decieving.
then, and only then, will we see a true height and how much lower you are.
i wish i could do this tape thing on my car, but you can't see the tape...YEAH BABY!!

Question PoLo, Cattmans right? how is that shiny plating
holding up in the NY saltglop?

The drop is great cosmetically, and even better when they settle. I'm always confused when everyone posts about how great this spring/shock combo is, but I disagree. It's good, but it's not all that great. Still isn't much better than the stock handling on some of our competitors...
#30
you feel little different but not that much tho! its close to stock for me... i think tein and sprint springs are the best out there... you buy them a lot of cheaper than H&R, eibach... and you have nice fuc*ing drop... between tire and fender i can fit one finger -almost-
yes, i use my camera phone for the pics thats why they are suck... samsung is better camera phone than LG

Enjoy GreekMaxima. I, too, have that combo and it definitely makes a huge difference in handling. The looks aren't too bad either. Looks like you got a heck of a deal on the install. I paid about $275 for my install of Teins/Gr-2s.
#32
Hey greek cant wait to see them. I've been wanting to change my maxspeeds for teins for a few months now and i think i might do it. I'll probably cut the maxspeeds. The rear is fine but the front gap is too big.
#34
ok we r all talking about handling but is that considering the unnessesary bump....u know if u hit a crack in the road it feels like some one switched on the hydros....on my old car i had coilovers and i couldnt stand it....but the car did look hot.....whats the best combo in coilover/shocks....how would i get rid of that xtra bump in the trunk?
#35
i just changed my suspension a day ago
I just put on TOKICO HP struts and MAXSPEED springs, and i'm totally satisfied with the handling...i've also puto n KUMHO ECSTA KH11 tires and it's just amazing, everyday is just an amazing day of driving
