Yay!! Tein Basic Coilovers!! Yay!

First off I want to thank Tom from Gruppe-S for making this whole thing easy. I've dealt with a couple lousy dealers/vendors before, but Gruppe-S showed real customer service. I would recommend them to everybody here.

Now here's the low down. I pulled up into Gruppe-S parking lot and measured all 4 of my rims from the top of the rim to the fender edge. I know it's probably not the most accurate way to measure, but it's all I have. As soon as it was done, I measured it again from the same places. Keep in mind I have 19x9 +26 front with 245/35 tires, and 19x10 +20 rear with 275/35 tires. The camber doesn't look too bad, but then again I just got it done 4 hours ago. No fender rubbing. It definitely handles better/stiffer. I love this drop! Here are the results...

 

Right passenger side - (1 inch drop)

Before = 4.5 inches
After = 3.5 inches

 

Front passenger side = (1 inch drop)

Before = 4.25 inches
After = 3.25 inches

 

Front Driver side = (1 inch drop)

Before = a little more than 4.25 inches
After = a little more than 3.25 inches

 

Rear Driver side = (.5 inch)

Before = about 4.25 inches
After = about 3.75 inches

This side was already a different height to begin with. I'm going to have to adjust them when I get a chance.

 

Looks good G, hows the ride ? same ? stiffer ? Props on the fat lip

 

hows the ride comfort now with them on?

(DaVeeD - Looks good G, hows the ride ? same ? stiffer ? Props on the fat lip)
The ride feels the same to me except when making turns. It feels like it's hugging the road more. It feels stiffer, but overall I say it feels like stock ride, but firmer turns. Thanks.

(CarFanatic56- hows the ride comfort now with them on?)
It feels pretty much like stock but with a bit firmer feel when driving and turns. It's definitely has to do with the stiff springs (503lbs).

You got that right. I can tell my front is a bit off so now onto the part I was dreading...the Camber kit! I'm going to let it settle in for about a week or two, and see how close I can get it into specs without the kit.

(pinoy702- That drop looks so good! could you tell me how much i could pick up theTein Basic Coilovers for and where? )
I picked mine up from Gruppe-S in Hayward, Calipornia for $780 (tax/shipping all included)

WORTH EVERY PENNY! I can't stop looking out my window to see my babies new stance!

 

looks damn good

 

that's not adjusted all the way down, right? looks sorta like my tein springs drop. Looks good overall though. congrats.

 

That's a nice drop.

 

where are the rings set at? is it threaded half way down? looks good
