Lowered My TEIN A bit
i swear i love the fact that my car is now adjustable!
well i just went with the knowladge i had and attempted to lower the car more with my own basic hand tools stock jack, some jack stands etc.
turns out it worked well.....
first i tried without taking off the wheel - bad idea... you cant see what ur doing u cant be precise and it takes more time and energy than just takin off the damn wheel. So i take off the wheels and its very easy and good! i was wondering how tight shoudl the two threaded mounts be to each other? one of mine is very tight and the other isn't THAT tight... just a bit more than hand tight... i figure since the weight of the car and the spring pushing down its not going anywhere if its an issue let me know and i will tighten tonight.
ok so i lowered the front about 1cm more than it was and call me stupid but i think the steering wheel is MUCH STIFFER!!! i know im not imagining things here its gotta be stiffer!! it may be i was getting used to driving my dads '02 ES300 but i really think its stiffer. eithe way
and the car still doesn't have enough traction i need better tires!! stupid 16" snows!!
just wanted to let u guys know even a 15 year old can adjust TEIN so if u have it go adjust it!! just be precise and measure the height after so you know your car is planted proporly!
