oo its on a b14.i like em in all but i still need the pillow ball mounts that they dont come with.and also ive notice my dampining adjustment goes more than 16 levels.dont know if anyone has had that problem but mine do.the car still rides nice ***.and i know its not broken *** u can still hear it click when u turn it.
never lower that setup more than 1 inch to 1.5inches MAX.

oo well with my setup now.with my tein ss i lowered it 3 inch up front and 3 1/2 in the rear.rides perfect.no sraping,unless u go over certain speed bumps and drive ways and also it doesnt even sag.the wheel wells meet up right at the tire tread.

wheel wells that sounds painful..but then again u livein florida so the roads are silky smooth.with that much of a drop i wonder how much contact ur tires have with the road..
well i got pics of them to explain it better.and my tires have realy good contact.my camber is perfect.and as for the axles.ya it can be bad for em.but there good.jsut need new ones since they decided to blow from me not getting new ones when needed to.and no its not from lowering it too much.i think it happened along time ago,before i lowered it,back when i used to do stupid sh*t in my car.
hey i was just wondering what coilovers are better.D2's or tein

Neither the D2's, nor the Tiens have changed designs in the last eight (8) months.

Yep, I've posted it for you at least three (3) times. Not that you are ever going to read it.
You just keep on lovin' that 3-3.5" drop. Good luck with that, and all your questions.
I'll personally PM you directly if D2 or Tien changes their design for the B14. As you can tell, I have a very good memory for this type of information.
Have a terrific day.

Yeah, that's normal. The Tein SS (Tein FLEX too) uses a needle valve to control the damping adjustments, and it only has a stop at full stiff (where the valve is fully closed). Damping starts to disappear into oblivion after 16 clicks though, so driving around with the dampers set to more than that is recommended.
Oh, and on a related note, if you actually need damping force adjustability, don't get the D2's / KSports. Yes, they have 36-some levels of damping adjustability, but the adjuster increments are so fine that there's no perceptible difference in damping unless you adjust 10 sweeps at a time. Basically, the "36-way adjustability" is pretty useless for anything other than car shows.
