Icon2 Dropping a 5th Gen

When I first purchased my vehicle, the previous owner put lowing springs on stock shocks. He really slammed it to the point where i would scrape daily. I purchased Tein Super Streets w/P hooked up to an EDFC. I raised it about to 2.5 inches from where he had it before.

-As far as stance on a 5th gen, should the suspension adjustment thread be even all around? (mm the same on all 4 threads).

-Using the EDFC (electronic damping controller) should the front suspension be stiffer in the front or in the rear? does anyone use the EDFC?

-I also placed a picture of my ride height from a distanced view. I just want to know what you guys think of the ride height? Should I lower it? I miss being flush.

&&no i do not get gas from here..lol

Park on a more level surface, take another picture and re-post.

Looks like stock ride height to me. If that is how it sits best for your driving, put some stock suspension on there, with some decent shocks, and sell the teins to profit.

If you do keep the adjustable stuff on, just set it how you are the most comfortable with it, and generally that will also be a good setting for keeping the tires planted to the ground well, too stiff will only hurt your performance, unless you end up switching around to stiffer springs and autocrossing etc.

If you want to get real fancy, once you have it at a height you like, corner balance it from there, to get the car as even as possible. That takes special scales, and a little know-how.
