Default Tein Springs

Had these installed a few days ago and counldn't be happier! The stance is perfect IMO, and the ride is not as ruff as stock.






This was a pic of stock springs

Looks very good, these cars really need to be dropped. The stock ride height is just too high, and dropping makes the car appear a lot more sports car like. I had Eibach's installed last Friday, and I love the new look. Enjoy

Wait, your calipers are not USB, right? It's just standard caliper blue? I've been thinking of going with the standard blue but I'm sure it'll clash with the USB.

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely look into it. I might just spray it on something off the car and compare it, but it def. looks more blue and less purplish than USB. It'd actually be better if it was different so it won't clash.

Meanwhile, did you get rid of the sticker yet? j/k man.

Looks good. I just ordered these springs also. Has anyone scraped their front bumper in parking lots or road dips where they didn't at stock height? I assume the 1" up front is minimal, I'm just a little worried that here in Tulsa it might be just enough to scrape more often.

Also, from everything I'm reading it sounds like I need to have the springs installed, give them a week to settle, and then have it realigned as opposed to doing the install and alignment at the same time?
