Tein CS Installed! bad pictures inside....

Well i just got my Tein Comfort Sport coilovers and EDFC along with the SPC camber/toe kit installed. The EDFC was installed in the upper glove box for a clean/hidden install.

I am pretty much in love with the setup so far - granted, I only have stock to compare it to, but i am completely satisfied right now.

I plan to detail it soon - my new Volks should be here later this week and then i just need to get the fenders rolled, and an alignment and i'll be all set for awhile...

Here are some bad/dirty pictures...

How is the ride compared to stock? Additionally, is it ride height qadjustable? In other words, if I didn't want to drop at all, is that possible?

thanks for the comments - it is pretty low - i may end up raising it a bit... the front is a little past mid way - the rear is about as low as it goes...

compared to stock it is stiffer - but still very tolerable - i have it set at 6 front and rear and that seems to be about perfect (1 is the stiffest - 16 the softest i think?) Again, only been on a day - and it is raining/snowing here so i haven't really got to test it all out and see which i like best yet...

as far as ride height adjustability - it is adjustable - if you install them and didn't lower the perches at all - i think it would be about the same as stock - one of the reasons i got them was so i could raise it in the winter...

set-up wasn't cheap - but not ridiculous - i know that doesn't help most out - if you really want to know shoot me a PM - however, i searched forever and bought them from advance race technology - (ARTrace) - Paul answered all my questions, was extremely helpful and gave me a great deal- the service/help and honesty from Paul was definitely worth it... I highly recommend this vendor!

Can you try it on the softest setting, and tell me how that compares to the stock sport suspension?

well I drove today on the softest setting and I would say comparing to the stock sport suspension on the 6MT, it is more forgiving and rides better I think -

I am really completely impressed with this set-up - i highly recommend these coilovers to anyone who is looking for a good drop without sacrificing ride comfort...
