Default Brain Fart: Need assistance...Tein SS q's??

Aight I recently got the Tein SS coils for DC on my EG......now how low can I go without sacrificing the life of the struts....right now I'm barely tucking front tire and the back has very lil gap......should I raise it??

With that Apex'i (or Trust) you will not want to go lower unless you want to start dodging pebbles on the street.

Yeah thats an ebay mooogen lip, ek mirrors.....and the gsr seats are now del sols....more pics soon......yup gunmetal rims too.....

Na I dn't want to go lower....I was just wondering if I was too low for the struts to handle it for a long time.....been 2 weeks and I plan on this suspension to last me a long time....

I got the mirrors cuz they were free, and my stockers looked like mickey mouse ears that moved back and fourth...ahahh

Are you running wheel spacers?

I dunno if its the width of the tire thats making
your rims look it has a more positive offset.

Anyways, I like your car the way it is.

Looks good, I like your hatch.

My advice is to leave it alone or raise the rear a tad bit. Keep in mind when you fat *** is in the car, it normally drops it like 1/4 inch. Also when driving/crusing, your back end tends to squat a bit too, this is why I say raise the rear a bit, just a little bit.

Anyways, I like your hatch......and no offense calling you a "fat ***" but you get the message that I'm trying to get accross.
