So a lot of you guys been telling me to drop my car for almost a year, I finally got around to doing it. I bought these lightly used tein basic coilovers for a good price from a member off here.
I installed these myself. All together, on a difficulty scale of 1-10, I'd give it a 7. Just because I had to compress the old springs myself to get the tops hats off with this crappy tool I rented at autozone. Other than that, it was a pretty smooth installation. If anyone on here needs help how to do it, there is DIY or go to www.Filtsai.com and there is a guide.
I have to roll the rear fender and shave the metal tab that holds the bumper on. When I corner hard, it rubs in the back a little.
I will get an alignment as soon as I can, I have two other cars, so I will just leave it in the garage until I have time to get that taken care off.
Here are some pix of the drop
********The rear has been adjusted already to match the front.*********
Wheel gap, about a finger and a half.
I had to relocate my o2 bung or else it would have bottomed out and took my o2 sensor. That would not have been good.
*********UPDATE, I just lowered my car to the lowest setting**************
