I expected the drop to be lower. Maybe it will settle down more after driving awhile.

See pic :

This is with two stock wheels in the trunk.

It's lower but not as much as I thought it would be. I know some of you have the exact same setup so was wondering if your's is as high as this.

yea front looks higher than the back. but then again, mine does too but i'm on stock springs, i have heard after you drive on it a while they will settle

you could also have had bad springs, and the new ones will sit a little higher than the bad ones.

your car is beautiful.

yeah, your car is real nice. before i put the dubz on, i rode around for like 2 weeks and my car still looked the same, but it was way way lower looking than the way yours looks.

you'll be fine. it should settle in (not to confuze with sag) after a little bit of driving. i know when i put on my GC coils it was too high at first so i lowered it a lil bit. and now that everything settle in, its time to go back up since its too low now.

also your tire size has a lil bit to do with it. if i remember right u had 215's. which is the recommended size but many of us have 225's which is also a good size to have but it fill in the gap a lil bit more.

yeah yours will begin lowering.. the only reason mine is so low, is b/c i still have stock struts holding up fine :shock:

Thanks guys for the input.

I drove it to the city just now and the ride is amazingly nice... almost like stock and it's not bouncy at all. I think it settled a little maybe half an inch. I hope it goes even lower. I have it set to 1 front and 2 back.

@Pinoy yeah I have 215s since the wheels were x7

Hey man, looks good. I have Teins too, I put GR-2s on with mine. I heard the AGXs are a little higher... I know mine didn't settle that much, maybe 1/4 in. max. I can't go any lower with my kit tho, scrape enough as it is.

Take it from me...that's the lowest it'll go. I had Tein with stock struts for a while and switched to AGX's and I couldn't believe that after a month the shit didn't get any lower. Frustrated with the raised look...I sprung the loot for the GC's...luvin it still.

I have the tein/agx set up, and for a car in Chicago, it's perfect...set your struts on 1 and it will get a little lower, on 4 it's about 1/2 inch higher....weird but true.

I have it set to 1 front and 2 back... hmmm I'll try 1 in the back ... that's where I'm pretty annoyed with since it looks sloped without the two wheels in the trunk

I can't vouch for Tein but Eibach Springs don't have settle. Tein springs may not either.

</div>

The factory springs wouldn't be 'bad' they would have settled over time.
