I lowered my car by 2.5cm, for handling benefits.

The Tein Japan website is more updated. In the USA site, it lists the SS with 10kg/6kg spring rate, the same as for Flex (which is not true).

I prefer this site: http://www.tein.co.jp/price_list/item.html

Cool mate. That's what i'm planning to do too. 2.5cm drop for both front and back should improve handling without causing clearance problems.

ive dropped my euro 5cm at the front and 4.5cm at the back.. i still dont have any clearance problems.. basickly the body of the car sits right on top of the wheels.. looks very nice.

Mine's not an exact 2.5cm at each corner though. I had the car corner balanced, so the height of each corner was reduced by 2.5cm first and then the heights further adjusted up or down by a few mm to balance the weight.
