Anyone have any pics of a GS on 19's with Tein CS as low as they'll go?

Tires there are 235x35x19 in the front
265x30x19 in the back.

I would recommend 245 and 275 for a fatter look.

If you want lower go with the Flex or if you BALLLN go AIR...

Thanks for those pics,

I actually have Flex's and thought about getting CS's, just wanted to see how low they go.

No baller here, so definitely no Air in the near future.

Car looks great by the way, really feeling the black on black.

Just exploring my options.

Don't get me wrong I like the Flex's, but they do tend to be a little noisy. I actually have something figured out for that, so if my idea works I'll post it and hopefully help some folks out.

I've always heard how smooth the CS's were and considered getting a set, but the Flex's aren't overly stiff either if set right, so I just may keep them.

Thanks for that,

That's about as low as I am now on my Flex's and can't really imagine wanting to go lower than that. Hmm, what to do..........

Tein CS FTL for getting low. I'm thinking of a UAS bag setup now because of it.

That is as low as it will go on mine.
The CS wont tuck. You will have a 1 finger gap in front and back that is it. Lower then that its the Flex or SS as noted above.

I'll drop mine to the lowest setting soon and would probably be identical to that ride height. Not sure why, but MANY people here say that the Tein CS's go a lot lower than the Bilstein PSS setup...not true. Both have their own advantages and disadvantages over the other. Both are nice coils though IMHO. Car looks great BTW cpone!


Quick Reply: Anyone have any pics of a GS on 19's with Tein CS as low as they'll go?
