Talking One finger in the front and two fingers in the rear
is the new lowered stance of my FD

I just installed H&R springs on the stock touring dampers with all new upper and lower mounts.

Went for a drive and the car turns much better, even on bumpy roads. I actually think it feels more confortable on bumpy surfaces than the stock springs but not in a softer way, it's hard to explain. It's like the damper is better matched to the spring...

The car is definetely more planted now, with my RB sways it didn't have any noticeable body roll but I didn't really push it that hard.

I'll be taking it to the track soon and will compare to the stock suspension.

so far I'm happy with the lowered look!!!

Hey, you'd like this thread I saw in the 3rd gen section about "bad LSD", "rear end inspections", "pills", and "nipple drilling".

Heck, I couldn't even get a decent sized flat screwdriver up there to fix the fenders before I had them rolled. Not a good thing.

However, the spring rate on the Teins are high enough that it doesn't cause too much of a problem being that low.

Nothing too special about my car. BTW, the FC was purchased with that wing on it. The current owner didn't install it. Yes, we give him crap about it.



On the track with the stock rims and 245's around (using Victoracers).
