Thumbs up Tein CS / Eibach sways / Cusco

Just installed my Tein CS coil overs with Eibach sways. The setting on the shocks are 50/50 Frt. 25/75 back with the sways set at mid frt soft back. What a wonderful ride now over stock. I have no weird noise or rattles at all. It tracks the road so much better now.
Body roll is so much better with much improved steering response.

I assume the upper blue anodized part is the Cusco adjustment arm? Was it needed to bring alignment into specs? I just installed Tanabe coil overs this last weekend and lowerd approx .8, and have not had the alignment done. I wonder if it will come into spec? It would be nice to have it on hand just in case.

My drop is about the same. I went with the cusco just to make sure I had no problems.
I spent some time on setup and took it down for alignment and was almost dead on.
You might be lucky and not need them. My guess is if you drop more than an 1" your going to need some more parts to keep things in spec. Im happy with the setup.

I like my set up also. If a hit a REAL bad bumps it is VERY firm, but driving across small choppy bumps the suspension soaks up the shock. Is the Tein CS also VERY firm on bad bumps or is it like stock?

Its way better than stock, Firm and yet not harsh. The sways helped out a bunch.

I had to trim approx .3 from the upper fender lips blending down. I masked, primed and painted with matching paint. The autobody paint store in my town mixed factory paint in a spray can for me. I have 285s in the rear and it rubbed with stock suspension with a full tank of fuel driving hard over bumps.
