Nice drop. I am impressed with the Tein springs. I bought some Tein "HT"s and the quality is oustanding. The drop is dead on as advertised. The ride quality is the same but the handling has improved. They are progressive and emit no noises whatsover.

Great springs!!!

It's called a luxury drop. trust me in person it's very obvious.

I got a .5 inch drop in the rear and about 1.25 inches in the front.

Okay looking at both pics, the camera was at different angles/positions. 2nd is from more of a ground level.

Not trying to dump on anyone because it seems like each time someone posts a price on here you have some idiot who is quick to boast that they could have gotten a much better deal. However, if you are willing to wait a little while for shipping, instead of getting the Teins locally, you can get a set from a vendor in the sponsor section for $247 shipped. Assuming that you can get the camber kit for 25-30 bucks, you may be able to save a few dollars. Its probably 30-40 bucks difference but hey every little bit helps these days...

Also, be careful if you are going the ebay route because there is some huge scam with teins being counterfeited and sold on ebay. You can get good info on the "suspicious looking" things to look out for from the Tein website. It kind of details the bogus packaging, spring labeling, etc.

This is a great thread, I think this might be exactly what I am looking for. Once I find the cord for my camera, I will post a yard stick/fender pics

Progress drop: 1.8in Front, .75in Rear
Tein drop: 1.6in Front, 0.5in Rear (slightly less)

I am looking for a little less drop, OEM is way to high in the front, plus you loose all handling. The Teins might just be the ticket for my tastes.

Can you actually see the drop difference?? Maybe it's wishful thinking.

LoL, the reason i asked is because the rears are definitely darker than the fronts... i got 30% all around. Why did you do yours like that? Texas five-O on your sh*t?

Well i'm in houston and in TX you can "stagger" the tint like that so to speak, its not legal, but the fronts must pass inspection. Cant be darker than 20%. 35% on the front will read about 27-25% on the meter. On my next inspection, i'll roll down my fronts, and see if the inspector rolls them up to see if the sticker is present. If he does, then i'll know he checks for that, but some shops dont.
