thanks for comments, right now the dampening is on 11 out of 16 so it feels stiff, not bouncy but u will feel a crack or rock on the road. still a comfortable enuf ride for me, not bouncy at all.

So if I go with the Tein SS Coilovers, all I need is those and the camber kits? I am pretty new to suspension stuff.

The thing with just getting springs is you have to get those, camber kits, and shocks. All that money and I might as well buy the Tein SS.

Hey subieguy, I am loving the drop man and I think you just made my mind up for me as far as what to get. I was toying with the idea of eibach sportlines but I know I will regret spring instead of adjustables. Couple of questions, you said the ride was stiff? Adjustability wise can you make the ride setting close to stock or no. Also you are slammed on those and only needed rear camber kits? Whats the difference between the SS and the Basics. Thanks man.

well the spring rates are stiffer than stock but u can make the dampening pretty close to stock if you put then on the softest setting. im slammed and only need the rear camber kits. the difference between ss and basic is that with the ss, you can adjust dampening. the basics you cant. everything else is the same

1 finger gap all around. slightly smaller gap in the fronts, if the rears were any lower, you would rub. unless you put ur camber to negative but id rather save my tires
