Racing Beat Sways + Tein Basic Coilovers
 
Installed today - car is UTTERLY composed.

The rear end is no longer loose, has a very solid feel, steering is more stable.

The stiffness isn't felt unless you're on pretty solid bumps, then its a bit worse.

Lowered about 1" front and rear.

Definately worth it - fairly transparent for a big gain in performance.

As much as you want - they're fully adjustable. I lowered 1 inch front and rear and the gap is perfect - one finger.

Great to hear, Cretinx. You have the exact set-up I'm purchasing next month.

Was the wheel hop reduced much?

Centrix, where did you get the tein basic from?

Hunter 05-23-2005 01:30 PM

Neat

Front and rear sway bars? Or just rear?

How little is the car lowered with the coil overs? I know I'm going the other way, but I'm enjoying driving a car that doesnt' scrape its nose on everything in sight.
