Tein Flex Coilovers - Page 2

It's ok dude. They are name brand parts Titanmotorspots dp and testpipe, its just how it bolts on. Any 3" downpipe will be low to the ground.

I just lowered the front some more, another 1/4" and now the exhaust scrapes rocks when I pull in my driveway. It sucks, I want it lower too. I also noticed that when you lower one corner, the opposite corner actually raises along with the opposite side lowering its a confusing mess. But I managed to get the front dead even but now the rears are off by 1/8" from rear right to rear left. I spent 3 hours today adjusting the ride height and then I just gave up.

The real test will be if I can pull into my work driveway without scraping.

Yeah you should have.

Don't be shy, whenever you feel like stopping by just do it. I get out of work around 5-6pm and I have the weekends off. If I'm home you won't even need to knock on my door, I'll hear you coming and I'll be outside before you shut your car off.

On a related topic, I found out I can still change my oil in my backyard with it lowered. But the drainpan doesn't fit between the ground and the oil pan so I can't lower the jack all the way to drain every last drop out. Oh well.

I switched from Mobil 1 to Royal Purple. And at $7 a quart.......

Anybody run RP 10w30?

Heres where it sits now. I was going to leave it decal free (I have alot of decals from parts I bought, ARP, MSD, HKS, Blitz) but the coilovers came with a whole sheet of decals and a dozen other ones. It even came with a metal badge. I just put 2 decals on, the passenger side has one too.
