you'd be happier with a matched coilover set, though for the money.

That is a trait of high spring rate coilover sleeves, not typically fully body "street" coilovers like the Tein SS model.

Tein Flex!!!
Worth the cash.
If you are going to do it, might as well spend the cash and do it right.

racerdc5, I know this is OT, but I noticed you took the upper pillow mount off? was it difficult? how much did you torque the nut after? I have to replace mine.

eibach prokit springs w/ stock shocks... haha imma get my money's worth.
anyway, 1.5 all the way around.. rides like stock.. i think i shouldve gone lower but i'm waiting on rims to see how it all fits together. i'd go with everyone else by saying that if you have the money for coilovers, do it.

Thanks! that helped alot with the pics!

The shop that did my alignment kid of gouged the upper pillow mount when they had to adjust the camber. Its not too bad but its noticeable when you look closely
