Old image of stockers... Running RPF1's currently And NO strakes!

 

strake hater

 

LOL

 

do any of you know the exact drop height of those pictures? and can you tell me how safe it is to go over speed bumps and such? i recently received my springs, they are the tein s tech (1.4 in front and 0.7 in rear). i havent installed them yet because i want to make sure that i wont scrape a lot and all. and does it for real improve the handling and make if feel more sporty?

 

The drop on the Tein springs is pretty much as described. I'll measure my front end tomorrow to show you how much clearance you'll get with 18's.

There are tons of threads on the S-tech springs. just do a search in the wheel forum.

 

My car is on Teins - and pretty low. I wouldn't wanna go any lower.

Yes, you will have to be careful when going over aggressive speedbumps, steep driveways, and parking perpendicular to curbs and parking blocks. That's the price of having a lowered car... but damn it will look good

 

Astral's Blue looks like mine. Mine is also dropped with Tein S-techs.

 

when you scrape going over a steep lip (eg exit ramp in a car park) what is it getting scraped underneath??

 

The only time I scraped with Tein S-Tech and oem struts was when I had my daughter in the car going over a very tall speed bump. I was moving slow over it and heard a small scrape which after inspection led to a light rub of the underside rails in the form of a 2 inch mark.

They are well worth it.

 

probably the lowest, daily driven 8 I've seen. sprint springs/koni yellows. Stock sized Axis hiros (18x8)

 

Here's mine. Koni struts + S techs
