Default What gap did you set between your tire and fender with Tein Flex setup?

What gap (in inches) did you set between your tires and fender with the Tein Flex coilover suspension taking into account that it settles about 0.3 inches over time?

Did you just set it to say 1.3 inches (and it has now settled to 1 inch) when you had the suspension installed, or did you just set it to 1 inch and then when it settled raise it back to 1 inch?

Is it easy to make this adjustment for a somewhat DIY person?

Hameed,
I set mine at roughly 1 fingers worth of gap in the front, and roughly 1/2" in the rear. I couldnt run it any higher then that, I like the low look.

I am not a fan of the slammed look and went with 1 3/4 fingers. Over 2000 miles and only very little setlling of the suspension so far.

dunno how much the coilover sack more after it settles. adjusting the coilovers is so easy i just change it once it settles. i have it 1 finger in the front and about 3/4 in the back, love that look

1 finger front, 1 finger rear.

Might end up changing the rear to 1/4 finger very soon.
