i guess "tucked" wouldve worked better than "slammed" but i could think of anything at the time

EDIT: and to chin.. and the guy who replied to him
i dont see why these cant be used for a dd? in fact these are probably more for just dropping than for track use anyway right? and would be fine for a dd..

Handling is good on my end.
Comfortable...well you have to be the judge for that.

Some have said it feels like stock?
But I think it feels extremely stiff.
Going low comes with a price..and it might just be comfort.

I love these coils. They are very stiff but that is the way I like to ride lol. My car on 18's is less than 2 feet from floor to top of wheel well all the way around and I am loving it. tucked and slammed are both very good ways of putting it lol. And btw this is my dd and so far no probs.

would it be possible to throw these on a lathe and spin more thread into it so the rings could go lower? dunno how safe that is but that seems like an idea to me.

i dont know who or why people try and give bad rep on these..maybe just hating?? idk.. i auto x and use for DD. These things handle very well for the money. dont listen to the people that dont have them installed on their cars. I dont know why people even judge if they dont have them installed. If your looking for handling at a affordable price get these. I speak from experience.. they handle abuse pretty damn well and they can go lower for those that just want that look or are going show. People here have already tracked them with no problems. Id say they are med/hard suspension. They dont bounce much and really that caught me by surprise I was expecting to be bouncing everywere! Very smooth and comfortable (with my setup, i dont have them slammed) These coilovers really proved my scepticism wrong. For what they are priced and shipped you cant get a better suspenion!

I just put mine on yesterday. I'm running 18x9.5et35 on 225/40 tires. I left 3 threads in the front. Fenders are rolled and pulled a little but DAMN AM I RUBBING. Time to adjust camber.

The back is fine since i left 13 threads. Pics later.
