Default Initial coilover installation...

I would like some advice from the tein cs owners or at least the ones that have installed them.When you go to first install the tein cs are they set from the factory or should I pre-adjust in order to get the desired ride height??I want to lower my car about .5 more in the front than what I have with my eibach springs..What would you recomend as to pre- adjsuting or just trial and error??

trust me, you are gonna want to go a hell of alot lower than .5 more than Eibach too! LOL

My parents came up for the weekend, and we took my car to get food and make runs, and seeing my car with them in it (sitting on the same side) I'm gonna go just a tad lower, maybe a half turn.

My CS are arriving next week. How does the factory set drop compare to the L-tuned s/s set up that I currently have? Is it lower? If yes by how much? I only have the OEM 17" chromes with a TTE lip and L-tuned side skirts and I sometimes scrape the lip on very stiff driveways allready.

Thank you
