Default Tein CS Question....

Right now my alignment are within factory specs, if I was to lower the car ALL the way down, meaning on the very last thread on the CS, what degree of negativity would I be at, anyone know?

I don't know anything about the negativity, but I was wondering, since you said you were still in factory specs w/ the Tein CS installed.....How much of a drop do you have now (2 fingers)? and what kind of tires/wheels is your set up? You don't have any uneven wear?

I have about an inch of gap all the way around. I have almost 1 1/2" left of thread on the Tein that I can go to lower it all the way down.

Here's my latest wheel setup:

Wow, that's SIIIIICK. So you have even tire wear (since you say you are still within factory specs for your alignment)? Sorry about asking soo many questions, w/o being able to provide you w/ any answers to your own questions (I've done searches on these topics and haven't found anything definitive on tire wear, where someone was lowered and within factory spec). I was just curious cuz I was gonna go w/ the Tein CS, but heard that there were no camber kits out that could save me from replacing tires every year. Btw, don't mean to hijack this thread either. Sorry if I did.

well if you dn't lower your car a lot, you can indeed have your car be within spec. with my tein HA in the past, i was IN FACT within spec too.

but keep in mind, within spec does NOT mean it's going to be even wear. if you are just within spec by on the boundary, over time you will still have more inside wear

no problem, it's not really off topic and it's a very good question in fact. a lot of people confused about within spec and tire wear
