Default Tein Suspension

Hello all!
Just fitted some Tein Super Streets.
They have lowered the car somewhat but i would like to go lower.
I wondered if anyone has some suggested height and damper settings?
Im abit worried about camber etc and would like to keep the car to handle aswell as i t looks!
Advice needed guys

how hard was it to put those in? and you have to compress the springs to get the OEM uppermounts back on right?

in all honesty, i had my car dropped below 2" then i raced it up a little bit and got another alignment and it drives/handles much better. Not to mention i dont have to worry about scraping on dips in the road. i've got my settings on 10F/12R

this is on Tein HA

Yeah, sometimes rasing the susp. (from a mad tyte drop) can improve handling.
