Default Tein Cs

Hey i got a deal on tein cs for about 700-800, i dont know if i should get it. I've searched on the forum and i dont know how exactly how much the cs lowers. I'll have 19's on my car do you think when i lower with cs it'll eliminate the gap with the tire? Please let me know if the cs will kill the gap! thanks. Oh and if it doesn't how much of gap will it leave?

If the coilovers are in good shape, that is one heck of a deal. If they are brand new, PM me the name of your supplier.

Coilovers are height adjustable. There is not an exact amount that they will lower your car.

I would be stunned if you could not eliminate the gap between the fenders and tires with the Tein coilovers.

Here is a link to tein's website: http://www.tein.com/cstdamp.html

Look at the numbers. You can drop your SC like 2.5". That is LOW. Regardless, with the coilovers, you can drop as aggressively or conservatively as you wish.

Tein CS don't lower the car as much as some other coilovers (about 2"). I have 19's too and you can definetly remove the wheel gap if you want to.
