Hey guys I just thought I would share my pictures before and after getting my Tein basics installed over the weekend. I had them installed by Z1 Motorsports in Carrollton, GA. I am extremely pleased with the ride after getting them done. The car feels so much more stable and I can take turns much faster than before without feeling dangerous.

I don't know if you remember but I had a thread in the past when I was experiencing a lot of bounce issue with my eibach pro kit and stck struts. That problem is long gone now. These bad boys are solid. I think my struts were just old and shot. They did have over 100,000 miles on em.

Also, I almost hit a deer last night driving on some back roads and I think the coils helped me dodge the deer So I see it as money saved already lol.

Pics:
Before


The coils, how pretty!


After:







So now I am gonna get a camber kit. I think it needs it lol

 

Looks good-

How much did the coils run you? Also did they charge you for the install? How much if you don't mind me asking?

 

How much of a drop are you running?

 

I actually am not sure. I think its about the same as when I had the eibach kit. I should have measured before and after. I can measure now if that helps?

 

do you need rear camber kid with coil over?

 

^Depends on how low you go.


You look a bit lower than Eibach, in the rear atleast.

 

Forgive my ignorance, but will these work on a X? I've got a few cars, but really digging on my '07 right now (especially after driving a '12 Audi S4.....blah). I'm looking to get some rotiforms and drop it a bit and this height looks just about right to me.

 

Tiens does NOT fit on the AWD. Look into BC coilover and i believe JIC magic is currently working on a prototype for AWD.

 

^^^ awesome. I'll look into it. thanks.

 

Yeah I think im gonna raise it up just a tad in the rear. I'm getting the camber kit and stuff installed this weekend. Should look awesome after.

 

looks good man! throw some 19s on it and ur straighty

 

Congrats on the coils! One day, one day I'll get coils!

 

It looks at low as my car with tein s-tech springs.

 

Looks great lowered! Those headlights need some painting for sure.

 

Just curious, why did you go with coils that don't offer dampening adjustments? That's one of my favorite things about my set up.
