VonCisco- Well your right to a certian extent.

The Tien Springs are spec'd at 1.7 & 1.5 but they settle to about 2.0 -1.8 (they are my old springs on "builts" box). I realized this when I put my coilovers on. The reference measurments for the coilovers are for a 2.0 & 1.8 drop. when I measured my reference points prior to instaling the coilovers the S. Techs were pretty much at those reference points. So, his ride is about a 2" all around.

Peace!!

I have the Tein s-tech on mine and I love the look. for a while the driver side sat lower than the passenger side but in time it leveled out. It took about 6 to 8 weeks give or take a week. here is mine

nice drop if u could get a hold of some used 19's and paint the center orange with a nice little lip that would be dope man. those axis rims are pimp too and the lip is removable so yo could paint that or paint the rim and put the polished lip on. good luck.

Default hey

YEah nice drop man...My drop was about a 1.5 in front and 1.7 in back, but see I cut the bump stops too which drop mine to a probably total of a 2.0 drop all around. I know after I first installed my Tien S types I had 3 people in the back and it rubbed a couple times.... So if you want a good drop I reccommend the S Type! But dont plan on having too many people ride in the back...2 at the most and take it easy.

Looks really good! I'm also for the stealthy-steelie look, but when you're able to, I'd say the orange Rotas, as well! Did you get S-Tech's or H-Tech's? I think S-Tech's will be my next purchase (wheels going on this Saturday hopefully). Keep up the good work... love the green & orange!

Hey thanks man...Yeah I had the Orange vynal on for awhile...But I kinda feared the sun attacking my paint so I took them off after about 1 month and a half. I back to the clean plain green now...thinking of using black vynal next time...Maybe a checkered flag on the side or something...

Looking good man. Nice drop. So you've rubbed in the back with people back there. I've had 3 people in my back seat with my Eibach Sportlines and Never have rubbed once.

I would recommend leaving off your stock hub caps and do this in the mean time....



This is what I rolled on for a while until I got my 18's. they were about 10 bucks a beauty ring
