that was a big help lol.


Anyways could you possibly take some pictures? Pictures with the wheels on and with the wheels off? I think this would be a big help to the problem. (Pics of Fronts and Backs)

R35p3kt had the same issue with his coil overs, some just dont go that low at all, his hieght in the back was about as low as mine on s-tech springs. GC's go pretty low.

I can vouch for GCs being able to dump a car to the ground

As far as going lower in the back, I don't know of any tricks for Teins. I know with Ground Controls (as well as other sleeve-type coilovers I'm sure) you can flip the threaded perch upside-down for an even lower (albeit slightly) drop. If I get another EG, you can bet I'm going to be using that trick... I want no more than 3" from the ground to the frame rails
