can you please specify, sorry newbee here.

1/2 inches lower than stock looks the best IMHO. slamming the car has no purpose. you destroy wheel bearings and axels. bump steer is DANGEROUSLY intense, ball joint want to tee bag you when you sleep.

15 inch wheels and a 1.5 or 2 inch drop on the front and slittle wedge to it (rear a tad higher) is the best look, it has the "i meen business" look to it.

thats was my first se-r. it was on k-sport coilovers (they sucked) with a 2inch drop on b14 se-r wheels (15inch) and BFG g-force tires.

Go with Tein's initial height settings in the provided documents, any lower takes up too much travel. Any higher pre-loads too much IMO. Put the valving at -10 front -8 rear for daily driving. my $.01

that is sound advice. i do not know how the teins work. the height adjustment on the k-sports was completly independant from the spring height.

-11

The Tein SS doesn't have seperate adjustments (perch/preload) the Flex model does but they don't provide those for our cars. If I had it to do over again I would get the Progress, as they ride better on the street IMO.

No, no, no, no. You put it at -10. Then, if you need that extra push over the cliff, you know what you do?

Put it to eleven. One lower.
