hope its not that bad in real life...i can see green teins in the reflection of the car in the background lol, maybe he replaced his teins with something even more extreme? i scrolled thru the foto library and found earlier pics of the tein look. it was barely noticeable drop that even someone commented mocking the insignificant drop. i think its cause his stock tyres are too small

Furrythree, if you look for comfort, coilover is the one you should aim for but if just for looks than spring will do but you need to remember that some people say it could damage the stock shock absorber in long run

Personally no, because you can't adjust the height with springs and with after market springs and stock shocks combo won't be good for your shocks in the long run. With coilovers, you can adjust the height and damper (Tein SS) as you like. Coilovers cost more but if you have the money, i would recommend coilovers for sure. I've had springs on my CU2 and didn't lower the car as much as i would of thought so i took them off after a week.
I've been in a CU2 with coilovers and the ride is comfortable.

im happy for you to come have a ride in mine when its installed furythree if you like.

and no you cant change the height on the fly, has to be parked, then you turn that washer looking ring thing on the video.

No it needs to be parked, wheels taken off and then adjust the height.
I sold the springs a while back.

Are you installing the coilovers yourself?
