Default Finally..Pics of Tein CS on Donz Columbos in Gallery

Ok guys i just took these pics 5 min ago.. They don't do the car justice at all.. The end result is great.. I had the mechanic set it Tein Specs and they came out great I hope someone can bring the pics over to the GS section i would appreciate it...

The install only took about 2 1/2 hours which I thought was pretty quick considering.... The ride is great and alot of the floatyness is gone... The ride is nice and tight and I'm going Tuesday to get the alignment done so i should feel a better difference after that... no sterring shake or vibration at all.. I only have the damper setting to 10 clicks aon all four corners.. Thats not even the softess setting....

From looking at the front it almost looks a hair higher in the front than the rear? Tein specs i belive are 1 inch front and .8 in the rear... Maybe its just an illusion because of the rear fender or something? Please tell me what you guys think... Not bad at all since I've only had the car since April....

Well i downloaded the pics in the GS300/400 section in the Gallery.... I tried to copy and paste in the reply to thread section and can't do it... There has to be a easier way and less confusing way to post pics...

Welcome to the Tein CS family. I love mine too. Your ride looks good. The Donz wheels look very nice...I'd paint the spokes white to match the car though.

not sure if it's the angle of the pic or not but it looks like the front is a tad bit higher. the Tein will need time to settle anyway. however, as stated before, it looks like you should lower it a bit more IMO. do you have anything in the backseats or in the trunk (a system?) that would cause it to sit lower than the front?

Hey Tony-congrats on the CS install. Mine are on order. When you say the mechanic set them at Tein specs, do you mean he installed them the way they came without adjusting springs or what? How are you liking the ride. does it feel bouncy at all?

BTW-the front does look a little higher, but that's how stock is too. maybe drop another .5 inch in front?

the mechanic measured it the way it said to in the instructions... Teins tells you how to measure from the top of the coilover to th bottom or something like that? My driveway is a slightly angled alittle but not that noticable to make a car look different... I have no system or anything in the trunk Yea I'll wait a few weeks and see what happens... I just bought my torgue wrench today from pepboys so now the wheels will be installed properly I guess the coilovers are pretty easy to adjust?

Hey Tone, congrats again on the coils, they were worth the wait. Now that I see it yes the front is higher than the rear. I'll be over next week sometime to lower your whole more!!!!
