Anyone have a pic of the TEIN BASIC on the lowest setting? or if you have a pic of the car lowered on basic can you post it up.


Thanks.

No, FLEX is full length adjustable.

Yes.

\\Konig\\ Nov 7, 2008 12:33 PM

dumb question but is there any instructions on how to lower it? i have the tool i just dont know how to...

kersh4w Nov 7, 2008 12:41 PM

so the basics are adjustable as well?

you can raise and lower the car? raising it for winter is not a bad idea at all.

imput1234 Nov 7, 2008 01:11 PM

Yeah, by an adjustable spring seat, cant change anything else.

pdxhak Nov 7, 2008 03:26 PM

fyi anytime you change the ride height then you should get an alignment.

snipaz2420 Nov 7, 2008 05:57 PM

so the flex should be able to go lower then the basics?

imput1234 Nov 8, 2008 02:19 PM

a lot more, probably around 3" drop

pdxhak Nov 8, 2008 02:35 PM

I have flex and I think the max front drop is 3.1" and max rear is 1.3".

lepichichi Nov 8, 2008 02:59 PM

Its just a bitch driving around town because of the ground clearance. I've spoken to the owner of this car and he would like JIC or Tein Flex coilovers but he has no use for them because he doesn't track it. These coilovers are reasonable. It's only his daily driver.
