Tein SS adjustments/settings....TEIN OWNERS NEEDED!
So after about a year of having these in my basement, I finally got them put on today. Only things left to do is install the EDFC and do a four wheel alignment. I ended up with one main question though....What ride height should it be set at? I know Tein lists a set of measurements on their site, but is that what everyone uses? I just wanted to get some feedback from people who have these installed and what they have them set at. I am completely clueless as to how high/low to set them.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!

just letting you know, our maximas only can do front wheel alignments...if u pay them to do a 4 wheel, they will still write it on the invoice and charge u more...but they won't be able to adjust anything in the rear...so save the $15 and get a 2 wheel alignment
i would say a 2.5 inch drop would be best compromise

Im sure illbe on here quite a bit in the next few days discussing this. At this point, Im not too happy, but I might just need to do some adjusting. Everytime I hit a bump, one of my rear tires bottoms out, and its so stiff right now, its not even funny. Course, I didnt do any adjustments yet as it got cold and I just drove home. Ill be putting on the EDFC as I said tomorrow and putting the camber bolts in.
We shall see...........

The ride quality is great! I have no problems from my Tiens SS w/EDFC. As far as the riding hieght its up to you. I say as long as you leave enough room for your wheels to turn depending on the size of your tires, should be fine (Front wheels that is). No, I am not sure what my drop is. The EDFC is a wonderful feather though: Full stiff to medium stiff to full soft at a push of a bottom. Very Nice! It handles wonderfully also. Dont know what I would do without them.
