I have been searching around for information on coilovers. I have found some very informative pics. but no clear cut answer to this question. Is it possible to achieve this stance (see car below) with coilovers on a second gen GS w/ a sets of 19's. I know that the Tein CST (front -2.3in rear -2.2in) < Tein SS ( fr -3.1in rr -3.0in)< Tein Flex (fr -3.7in rr -3.5in) There is only a 0.6in difference in the front and 0.5in difference in the rear between the Tein SS and the Tein Flex. For about 0.5in all the way around, an extra $500 seems a bit pricey. All i really want is to a achieve the stance below with a set of 19x8 19x10's.

Maybe with the Tein Flex but I think those cars are on air.

^^^^ I agree. Tein flex's will get you real close (i've never gone all the way down) but I know I can tuck 19'' rim like the pictures.

i believe all those cars are on airrunner systems as well

with the listed coilovers can you at least tuck tire?

bluelex

Yes you can with the tein ha's I know for sure. Junctiongs who that blk gs at the bottom of your pics used too before he got air dump his car to the floor using tein ha's..Not sure about flex, I know you can't with cs.

Cars look good. They actually don't look half bad and aren't slammed all the way like most VIP's.. GL... Airrunner or Flex's...

Dr. VIP

Tein CST (front -2.3in rear -2.2in) < Tein SS ( fr -3.1in rr -3.0in)< Tein Flex (fr -3.7in rr -3.5in) Tein HA (front????????? rear ???????)

so with the TEIN SS with a 3in drop all the way around will not give me this stance. Is that the conclusion?

How much can the tein HA's drop? and where can i find them? cause Tein does not have them on there website.

Dr. VIP

in that pic is he running the HA's or air sus????

HA's you can find them for sale in japan ( though i think they are discontinued) you have to wait for a used set to pop up, usually cheap. i went and just bought Tein FLEX through the carson toyota Group Buy.

Dr. VIP

do you know how much of a drop you can get out of the tein HA's

The first 3 pictures are probably on coilovers and the last picture is on air.

If you don't want to go air (which I would recommend if you wanted to go that low) your best options are probably the JIC VIP coilovers, they go low and supposedly retain most comfort.

I think your main concern should be rims that fit when you dump your height like that...More research on rims.

Dr. VIP

unfortunetly air is far to prices for me. I would love to go air but unless someone is giving it away at 2k my car will never see air. I would not have enough money for rims. and saving is not an option cause im a full time student.

um....join www.VIPstylecars.com. look around there, PGMotoringUSA is selling UAS air setups ( a good alternative to air runner) for about $2300. you have to install it yourself, OR i believe they charge a 1k install fee, with lifetime warranty/adjustments if you need it.

seeing as you are in FL, you would need to contact them anyways to see what they say.

Dr. VIP

I am currently a member on vipstylecars. And yes air sys run ramp id on that site. I wasnt aware of UAS thou. SO ill have to check it out. Thanks Caoboy.


Still need to know what the lowest drop on a the Tein HA's is.

Seize

My brother is running the JIC FLT-A2 VIP coilovers

It's pretty darn low already...



It can go even lower but then it wouldn't be driveable.
