karlen, you would hear those springs if the coils touched. why do you think tein has the rubber lining around all the coils that touch? so you don't hear it! lol

When your car looks this good, you can try and talk about my wheels being shitty.

It's ok, mine looks a hundred times better. And the argument was about coil bind, not how good your wheels look or when/if they rub. Bottom line, yours coilbind, mine don't.

karlen you like putting words in people's mouth's? he never said they were shitty, just that he feels that the factory 18 inch wheels look better.

What does being a DD/Driven Cross country have to do with it? I have another car, i don't drive this one everywhere, yes daily, but not as my primary commute vehicle.

I never set out to make this personal. Never set out to say that the Tein's sucked horribly. My point was that they employed coil bind in their design, and that it is not the best possible solution to lower the car, nor is it the best possible spring for handling.

basically said the factories look better. **** never came out of my mouth. personally with a picture alot further away looks better. the one close up didn't look good. so there not bad, but still not for me....also very funny when you say my car if it ever looked that good, you make me lol. i get compliments every day and think 4 door SS look better then the coupes. many people do and some don't. all you have is tint, drop, and wheels, and looks like you moved the door badges. Wow that makes it look so much better then mine? i had all that **** within the first month i had mine.
