TEIN lowering springs (2.0"f/1.9"r) ride quality..

The Tein SS coilovers are installed! I am amazed at the ride quality that this system has. It feels 10x better than the stock sport suspension. I currently have the COs set at the recommended stiffness (10 clicks from the stiffest setting), and its dropped 2". Highway drivng is smooth, cornering is unbelievable and on top of it all, it tightens the look of vehicle really well. If any of you are thinking about or need to replace your struts, I would HIGHLY recommend getting this setup. It'll be $1300 well spent. I will post pics up soon.

Hm... now I'm wondering if there's something else wrong with my installation... it's nowhere near smooth for any extended amount of time on highways... and on certain highways (CA-92 up here, San Mateo Bridge) it is downright awful...

Bump for pics!!! I'm curious to see the drop with the stock rims. I just got my replacement Vol.3 back and I can totally do this. But I'll be going in stages. Drop first, then rims/tires.
