REVIEW: C8sport SSD Coilover (UPDATE: last page- removed 1 perch ring)

^There's going to be a difference between one's feeling and track proven. That low is not good for the tC at all in the handling dept. and what's been recommended reading on some threads is a drop of around 1.25"(i.e. TRD lowering springs) to work with the suspension geometry. Most that have the ride height that low have had the axle boots tear because of the angle increase is too much going into the transmission.

But as mentioned before, when everything was set on preload, ride quality was superb.
I'm a hellafluss person so love the lowness and don't care crap bout axle boots, tire wear, etc. etc.

Dropzone I know that actual performance is not better that low.... I am an automotive engineer that has helped design Scion suspension components. I was curious about how it is driving it every day at this height since the set up night87 has is from the company that we worked with to produce the Dare 2B Different coil overs being introduced.

Not to necro, but how have these held up night? I'm getting really sick of my racelands. I am saving up for these, seem like they drop super super low. Hopefully I'll get these this summer...
