Hey buddy,

Those mini coil spring compressors are a tool. They are used to compress the spring down when you install lowering springs. It compresses the spring so when you take the top hat off of the strut the oem spring won't fly off. It should NOT used for a lowering device. Hope this helps.

P.S. if you wanna go cheap then you could just cut your springs. Buy the time you are ready to buy coilovers your struts will probably blow out anywyas lol. This is just an option. I wouldn't do it myself but a lot of people do. Good luck!

I've heard that they blow out fairly easily but it could happen to any coilovers.

Pretty much the same price as FF's but everyone has those so maybe you just wanna be different lol!

Good luck though mate :thumbsup:

Thanks everyone.

I found these coilover at Andy. I don't know much about it can anyone tell me if these are good? And are they missing something? Thanks

Teins are meant for having a stock feel to it. These Tein Street Basis replaced the Tein Basics and from what ive heard are more improved in design. The con about these coilovers is they do not go that low. Lowest they will go is about 1 finger gap all the way around

Function and Forms will slam your ride but they are a lot stiffer than teins
