Default 3GS pics with Tein CST set to max drop

I am dropped on tein cst with edfc. I have the car dropped almost to the very bottom of the coilover range. I was wondering id any member has a pic of their car with the tein cst dropped all of the way down. I know there was a pic of a white 3GS on 20's with the car dropped all of the way down, but I am not sure. If any members have any pics of the car slammed on CST please post. I keep wanting to take the car in again and just have it dropped all of the way down. Thanks guys.

here is a pic of the car right now with almost full drop. I probably have another.25-.5" to go. I am getting about 14-15k on the tires. so it might be fun to use the flexibility of the coilover and change the height. The shop I take the car to can usually change height pretty quickly

how do you like the falkens?? I put a set on my car GS400 about a month ago and now my steering wheel shakes from 60 and up. Front suspension is tight, nothing is wrong with the car. My next step is alignment, tires do look like they are a little choppy in the front. Oh, I also had the wheels balanced twice to make sure they were done correctly.

asking for pics of 3GS with the car set to max drop. I dropped the car initially, then took it back and had the rear lowered more so the car was more level. Now I am considering going all the way down front and rear and I am just asking if another member has pics. Thats it. I am sure if you were on coilovers you would have them adjusted a couple of times as well. Unlike cars with just springs, I have the option to really adjust and fine tune the drop. Thats all I am doing.

I have read posts where you were saying you wanted coilovers because you were not totally happy with your drop. why dont you get a set ?? Not going to break the bank and it will allow you to go lower and maintain a better ride quality. I thought that tein h techs and factory shocks would be the mildest change in ride quality. The tein cst really gives me the closest ride quality to stock but at about 2" lower. worth every pennny

oh yeah... did I tell you how much I like them,lol.

only had to adjust during installation. my installer knows what he's doing and wont let the car leave his shop with the ride height off. told him what i wanted and he got it there.

I could buy a set anytime, to me the car is to where I want it. I'm done modding for now... might get a roof spoiler but ehhh I don't care much for it. Plus I barely drive my car... its got less then 6k and I've had it for almost a year.

Yes i think he likes them alot. Also he's making sure to let people know his car is dropped with Tein CST.

I8ABMR: Pointless to ask people.. You like to post pictures of your car over and over. If you really wanna see how it looks with max drop, why dont you drop your car and you can see it for yourself. Its not like you dont have the Tein CST.
