Default tein CS

Does anyone know how low Tein CS can lower the car from the stock height?

I was told it provides a 2.5" drop, but thier website says 1.7" front and 2.2" rear ( Tein Website: Ride Height Adjust Range ). Does anyone have actual numbers?

Wouldn't a 2.5" drop put the tire under the fender?

yes, i have the "fat setup" (245/45/19) so it's the same size as 20's


but does it look the same as the other with CS dropped 2.5?

Keep in mind that the springs settle and you might have to re-adjust them. LXOGOOD has had his for a while thats why his drop is so low and might differ fron the Tein numbers. With the fat set up you can tuck the wheel. I have about 6 threads left thats about as low as I will go because unlike in Cali we have bumps in the road here. I am going to re-level my height because believe it or not all of the rings are not set the same. Then Im going to get it aligned...go ahead and get a set you will love them.

hey jim,

With the seasons and your switching of factory to 19s, I think these would be good for you, also the soft dampening will help out on the rough Western Mass streets! LOL

d,
I'm still considering it. But only if it's going to be lower than what i have now. I want the front a little lower.
