Default ULTIMATE REFERENCE - Springs, Shocks, Wheels, Pics [merged threads]

To all those in search of the ideal drop...you've come to the right place. I've just spent the past couple of hours in this forum trying to decide whether H&K, Tein, Eibach, Bilstein or what-have you! What helps the most is a side profile of a vehicle with a brief description of what the spring/shock/tire setup is.

For those who are already ridin' dirty...we need your help. Please post pics of your rides with suspension/tire information. Here's a couple to get us started.

Coilovers: Tein CS V2
Wheels: OEM 17's
Price: $1170
Ride: In my opinion, I have read that it rides like stock... but it doesn't... It rides very smooth, but doesn't have the floatiness that the stocks have, it's a bit stiffer than stock... It's one of the more comfortable combo that I have driven in...
Drop: Can go about ~1.5" more in the rear, ~0.25" in the front
Look: Priceless
