Tein S Tech + Stock Appearance Package Pic Request

I searched but noticed most of the cars on S techs didnt have the app. package. Those of you with both, how bad is the scraping? Stock wheels would also be a plus as thats what I have. Also, I'm planning on getting 245/40/18's on the stockers, rubbing wont be a problem will it?

When I had the stockers with the Stechs, scraping was not that bad of a problem. You will have to go over most bumps/inclines at an angle though. I don't know what would happen with the new tires though, sorry.

Buy the S techs, you wont be sorry.


Here are some pics

First 3 pics are before the car was completely settled. In the last two pics the car is pretty much settled. The front ends up sitting a tad bit lower than the rear I'd say.

Your supposed to preload it before you tighten everything up.

I have/had the setup you're requesting...

You won't have to worry about rubbing. The 245-40/18 actually looks like it belongs on the stockers...i'll see if i can dredge up some old pics that i had with incline angles so others needing this info could judge...i'll post them tonight if i can find them...go ahead though with the S-Techs...you won't be sorry...although...HopUpRacing has a damn good deal on the D2 coilovers...if they're in your price range...and if you plan to track your car...
