They ride pretty good, just dont slam the coils all the way down. I acutally have a set of these fore sale too. I think you can ride lower on these then Tein Cs v2.

yeah, teins suck when you want to do that. they are only adjustable by spring perches and not the strut height, so when you fully lower the perches you have loose all preload and you just bottom out the struts when you hit any kind of bump big or small.

i have basic Teins coilovers and they used to be lowered to the max on the front, and the rear had about half inch left to be lowered to the max. and i never bottom out. the problem i had was the inner tire was rubbing inside, but thats because i had a 265 in the front. lol

I've got a set on my SC. They can be for sale for cheap-er if you're interested.

They ride fine for me. I have them on full stiff. Kinda bouncy on my wavey MN highways, but that's fine w/ me. When they were on medium, they were soft.

I had them on my car. There was still a lot of room for adjustment in the front to go lower. When at full soft it was softer than stock and at full stiff I could feel everything on the road. Once I found the right dampening adjustments it rode nice.

I don't really remember since it has been a few months since I've had that setup.
