Is the front at maximum low?
I'm confused cause in the last set of pictures you posted, the first shot shows the coils to be about half way down...

Yeah, I took that picture right after I took the wheels off. Being the genius I am, I didn't take another picture after adjusting it it, but they are all the way down now.

And for everyone asking about the height, I'll measure them once I get off work and report back.

I'm also planning some time this week on test fitting some wheels from a buddy of mine, as well as spacers. We'll see how that turns out!

Sorry for the delay... So it looks ~25.2" in the front, ~25.6" in the back. I should have measured before installing these, but does anyone have the stock measurements?

Awesome! Thank you.

It could definitely stand to go lower, but I don't know if I would. I think where it is now is about a low as is safe for my area. A friend of mine with a Nissan 240 put it nearly to the ground, and he scrapes all the time with the roads here.

Would look even better w/o the TEIN Decal on it!...seriously!

I too have the TEIN Basics....I like them I wish I spent the extra $$ for the SSP's..I really need the Adjustable Dampening option.

Also...did you remove a Perch at all?....You can..I did got another .25 inches more low.

looks good, but it's a little to low....maybe you need to bring the rims out a little to even out the whole image.
How did these guys set you back?
