Default Tein CS on the lowest setting for the front on 20s!

Here we go guys, it can't go any lower on the front, maybe 1/4-1/2" left for the back. Sorry for the bad quality pics.

thanks guys, the trade off on that is I rub a lot now . Also, I look at it this morning and it look like the driver side fender has a bigger gap than the passenger side. I measured the car from the ground on both side and they are equally in height. Does anyone have any idea why it does that?

I think it looks great too. I would lift the rear about 1/8 of an inch though to match the gap in the front. I have mine on 19s with the Tein CS coilovers as well. I have the set pretty low, almost all the way. Maybe 3/8 left to lower them. I don't get any rub with 235/35/19 and 275/30/19.
Your car does look sick though. Too bad you rub and loose performance with them.

Hell I may lower mine all the way down, which is about another 1/8-3/16 of an inch. I know I won't rub either because I have bottomed out the suspension a few times and never rubbed.

thanks everyone, the lower looks is nice but sometimes when it rubs it hurts lol.

Fearlessfx: I have never got pulled over because of it but usually if I see a cop drive by or around me, I pull the windows down. On my old car I actually had two layers of limo tint on it and had it for 3 years without any troubles from the cops.

For whatever reason my Tein CS coilovers seem to go a smidge lower than everyone elses. My car is sitting very low and I can still lower it about 3/16 of an inch more, But I don't want to be tucking tire.
