Check the TEIN website, it will tell you. When I bought the SuperStreet the TEIN guys said I can drop the control arms on the ground.

hey have you guys seen other coilovers that are silver and green NOT by tein? I just bought a teg, and it has some some silver and green coilovers, but no name on them, my friend said his Tein basics didn't have any name on them either though, so just curious if there are tein-look-a-likes, which I suspect there are

that may look "dope," but does it function well? and with those mudguards... on the scrapage. bumps must pwn you.

to the OP, get koni yellows/ground control coilovers and call it a day already.

It did look 'dope' but I'm no longer at that height. I just tried it out for a week and didn't enjoy scraping, rubbing, bottoming out the front tow hooks on my daily.

With the tires even with the wheel wells -which is my ride height now- the ride is 1000x better. Bearable for DD and road trips.

And to the OP: The Tein catalog says F: -2.8" R: -2.1"
