what kind of coilovers did u go with? The rear is a lot higher than the front. Even if it settled a little more it would still be uneven, unless the pix are deceiving.

I went with BC Racing coilovers. No the backs are as low as they can go =( could it be because of the alignment bolt? its totally off from before. Thats the only think i thought of. The fronts could go about 4 inches lower too. Im going to get an alignment tomorrow.

i woulda kept it super low. lol.

yea seriously, if that's the lowest it can go on the back, that sucks.

i heard the tein flex lowest at bak is 0.7 unless u remove a collar or something.

When they put it up in the air, measure the frame height to the lift.

That must be the same on all four locations.

Yeah, I like those rims too.

Did you end up working out why the rear doesn't drop any lower?

when you get it aligned, have the guy take a quick peak at it just to be safe.
