Default TEIN drop?

whats the lowest you can lower your teg with tiens? it doesnt realy matter which ones i just wanna know what the lowest you can go with them. is it possibe to lower it more than 3 inches? because in the catalogs its usualy around 2 and a half inches or an inch and a half... i wanna go lower than whats said in the catalog. i just wanted to know if its possible. im not realy worried about scraping on stuff. im use to it.

mine is the DC i wanna be that low when i get my teins i was wondering if it is possible.
if you have tiens if its possible can you send a few pics?
arite thanks guys

Why would you want to do that? That would be a waste of the Teins?

if your gonna go low. i suggest you get the SS or Flex. I regret not getting adjustable dampers. just save up alittle more and you will be satsified. good luck!

I'm riding on Tein HA's (discontinued)...

Dumped low on 16" LE37-Ts wrapped in Yokohama AVS ES100s. Tires tucking. It rides pretty good. There's still suspension travel left

I wish I had a pic to show you.

won't slamming it so far increase the axle angles? thus putting strain on them?

You should be able to go that low... I have Basics on my DC, and from where it's at now, there is still about another 1"-1.5" to drop it... Here's some pix...

When i bought the Tein SS for my last DC, in the instruction manual it stated something about not lowering it lower than the recommend manufactuer specs....don't have the instruction manual anymore, or I'd quote what they are cause they gave the measurements.
I don't think slamming them is a good idea......you should just keep your current setup and throw them on whenever you wanna stunn.....no point damaging a more expensive suspension just for looks.
