thankyou so much everyone
Ok on the tein website they say its a 1.9" at the front and a 1.7" at the back for the S Techs so i did that.
Now they this are most probably not 100% correct how i set my coils but they should be ruffly the same.

(I think i made this a couple of mm to high)

(That is a 100mm board at the lowest part of the car so its legal just in case you are wanting to keep it legal)
Now this is about a 3.2" at the front and a 2.6 at the rear.

(Basically i have to go on a angle to get over some speed bumps or the front just gets owned)
I have a camber kit so the wheels had a bit of positive camber when i raised it so it may look a bit weird.
In real life i say it looks lower than it dose in photos that just my opinion
This is with 205/45/16 tires also
Hope you can now make your decision :D
Very nice to see others going to a fair bit of effort to help others out - nice work Lbarbs +1 :)
Should have all the info to make a decision now!
I think the skunk 2 springs are around 2.5" btw so just half the wheel to fender gap from those pics and thats where they will sit
i don't think the tein s tech springs give that big of a drop, when i bought mine they were rated to give about 1.3 to 1.5 inches of drop front and back for memory. Unless they updated them or somethingQuote:

You talking about the Tein High Tech by chance?
nah S.Tech. But if the hi tech gives a 2'' drop roughly all round that might be a better option
and lbarbz once again thankyou so much for those pics. It looks perfect for my personal preference at that height! Now all I need is some of those rims you've got and im set
no High techs give a 1.5" and 1.3"
S Techs give the 1.9"
soz i confused you
This looks about 1.5" to me...
get eibach pro kit springs! gives the car a 2 finger gap on all corners plus it feels like stock on rough roads and it will improve the car's handling..
the tein stech is no good because the front sits a lot lower than the rear. the car will look funny.
I know these from experience since I've tried both! do yourself a favor get a brand new one from the US. would cost u under 500 delivered.
Yeah i agree with outatime, the Eibach are one of the best springs out there and since you don't want scraping they the pro kit will be perfect which are around the same as the Tein High techs. But the Eibach's are a better product!Quote:
