Small update. I adjusted the preload on the springs and easily got another inch of height. Out of the box the preload was next to nothing. Now the car is a little high for my taste so I'm going to lower it a half inch and go from there. We took an air hammer and pushed the inner fender wells up where the upper control arm was hitting. It actually turned out nice. I will have pics up when I get a chance to get the ride height where I want it


Future mods include spacers for the wheels real soon, install my TTE lip, and this spring a VVTI gte swap with a small single and small fuel system to support

Adjusted the rear preload and the front preload up a half inch and got the ride height close but I need to lower the front another 1/4 inch. Added 5mm spacers to the rear and front that I had laying around although in these pics only the rear spacers are installed. I am going to try and throw on some bolt on 15mm but I dont think it will happen with my 275 on the rear. The car rides really well, I am pleased with these coil overs.

These seem like the ideal choice if you want to be slammed and keep preload.

From my understanding these just have a shorter coil, correct?

Pics of air hammer work on those inner fenders would be nice....vs. cutting holes.
