Very nice! Question of curiosity, why'd you set the front stiffer than the rear?

You ride looks awesome! Nice Mods. Too bad that your in S Cal and I'm in the bay area. I'd be definitely interested in the wheels if you were local.

To prevent the car from deeping down too much during turns and braking. However, I found the ride too damn stiff at dampling level 13 out of 16... both front and rear are at 8 now.

John, I've been too lazy to figure it out, but how the hell do you take out the rear lining to adjust the rear shocks. I tried pulling back the side lining the other day, but couldn't see how I could access the rear shock adjuster.

Yea, it's tedious taking that out. So i had the guy who installed my coil overs cut a perfect circle on the rear lining. It's two small opening, one on each side. I will post more pictures this weekend. Hope that helps.

That's what I figured. Right now, my ownly option is to take out the lining inside the trunk (or at least, pull it away).

Yeah, if you can take pics that'd be cool!

looking at these pics again, you know what I HATE? how tuners make their products such a loud and obnoxious color (like Tein's green) that it's so obvious that there's something different there. people can see its dropped, so why do they have to see the coilovers? it's just when you bring it to the dealer it's like saying "look at me look at me I've got aftermarket stuff!"

Phil, they've gotta do it to seperate themselves from other companies and the obnoxious "color" selections are for show purposes.

yeah, I realize that, but it's still pretty useless in cases like this b/c how many times are people going to look at an undercarriage at a show?

but, I guess I could be wrong, I'd just like something I can have on and not have any of the dealers suspect or give me grief about not being oem and thus causing problems...

A lot of Suspension companies will have a car lifted half way at their booth to show the suspension mounted.

I know what you're saying though. It's a pain in the *** to deal with a dealership that gives you grief for it. Surprisingly enough, the dealership didn't mention anything to me about my TEIN's when I had the Super Streets in!...LOL.
