Default General Q for Tein Basic Owners

Ok,so i got my tax money back and im thinking about getting a new suspension setup.I want the Tein basic damper kit just because its better then what i have now and its decently cheap.But what i want to know is,does it lower down to at least 4 inches all around like most sleeve-type coilover systems.I have a 91 rex si as you can see in my sig....So any Ef guys that have these lemme know any info that could help me out...thanks.

You do understand that while the coilovers may be capable of lowering the car up to 4 inches from the stock height, you can't actually drive with the car that low, don't you?

there overall good for daily driving as i have em on the em1. not too stiff. but on my other setup i have omni sports for my ek. but yeah you can go 4inches but then you sacrifice the ride quality and your tires. up to you man.
