Tein Coilovers Installed!! (w/pics)

So I finally got my car back from Tein. They used it for prototyping and test fitting their basic coil over dampener kit, only took 2 years lol. Nevertheless, I am so happy with the results. The first couple pics are with Tenzo R springs which lowered it about 1.3-1.5 from stock ride hight, with the Coilovers they set the front about 1.75 lower, and rear 2 lower then stock, not a huge difference from the Tenzo's but I still have another 2 inches I can go lower in the front, and another 1.5 in the rear, however would be a pain to drive since this is my daily driver. The stiffness is set at 12 (no EDFC) and it rides like a beauty, much better then stock considering I have a leak in a shock or two and the springs sucked. Combined with my progress sway and Ark strut, I have no sway unless I'm really ripping on it, even then it's more of a push then a lift. I love it!! Look for this to hit the market soon!!!

thank you. I was to drop it more but dont think it's a good idea, and I don't have a low pro jack so I would have a hard time raising it back up if I wanted

Looks very very clean. I need to do something with mine, not having the lower SC valences makes it look to high.

I'm very careful how I drive over bumps and driveways, but yes sometimes I do have problems, and if I didn't go over everything at a hard angle my bumper would be bye bye haha

Your car looks sick
Is it just me or does everyone agree that the BC2 Body kit + Lowering makes the cobalt look so damn fine
