Default Dissapointed in my Tein SS-P

This is on my WRX.

I installed the coilovers and put them on the lowest setting expecting to tuck some tire. Turns out after a week of letting the springs settle I have about 1 finger in the front and the back is sitting on the tire. Will the Flexes go lower? I compared the pictures of the Flexes and the SS and there seems to be more thread on the Flexes.

Any lower would destroy the handling of the car. Change your screen name it might be kinda offensive to some people.

tein's can go low, just the ride quality isn't all there

raised up, with about an inch left to go

flex's can go lower b/c you can adjust the shock body and the preload. w/ the SS kits your only adjusting preload... the lower you go (more preload) the stiffer you want the shocks or itll get bouncy.
