yeah just springs with shot shocks and struts, came with the car when i got it. for years i didnt know what set up to go with. and coilovers were the talk so i went with these. last set from the GB.

noice!! I was so excited when I got my Teins like 2 years ago, but now, I wish I had save up a little more for either the D2's or the JIC's. Actually the D2's would've been cheaper than Teins right?

yea there is 3 perches 2 on the spring side and one on the strut side, so its just the stop for the spring perch

i like how they have the sway bar link mount on the threads rather than welded into the sleeve like the megan's, im thinkg im about doing the same for the megans

hey james can u get me as many close up pics of the front assembly from as many angles as you can ??

Nice, don't forget to adjust preload, and have fun adjusting the ride height :D

actually on the D2 coilovers, you dont need to adjust preload. You're only supposed to put enough tension on the coils just so the coil doesnt move up or down.


but I dont see why you couldn't do it if you wanted to.

craig thats an adjustable swaybar link mounting perch. That is essential to getting perfect suspension alignment.

These are pretty in the pic, but even more beautiful in person. Saw them last night. I can't wait till you get them on the car, James.
