Tein lowering springs

hi,
I bought new springs from TEIN and now I am in the installation phase
but for others who still searching something like a old Eibach

this is it!
Part number SKM32-AVB00
TEIN UK LIMITED | COILOVER KIT & SPRING KIT SEARCH
lowering front 20mm, rear 25mm and spring rate - 7.8 / 5.8
so really fine numbers.

when it's done, i will post the picture with it.

its done..
great ride, stiffer feeling and nice ride height
maybe the car will sit just a little bit yet. if the springs will sits corectly to the up rubber

I do not know if i should replace the upper rubber. Original springs has a slightly different windings so that it does not fit directly into the holes pushed out of the original springs.

this is rear springs stock and tein. On photo, one of them is turned.


and closer look at the front.

You should get some settling, but it shouldn't be too much. Do you have a picture of the whole car with the new stance?

Here is a photo after a short ride. maybe the rear is still high but that height is quite the same, like it was. So I think, later or maybe after few more km, it will sits lower
