the drop is not excessive at all, imo...prolly looks too low because of your body kit

I've never seen those rims in gold before, looks incredible.

Unless you're bottoming out frequently, I'd keep it at that height!

Is it just me or does the rear have more gap than the front?

Tein Basics lowers it 1" all around..is that correct?

Recommended is 1.0" front 0.8" rear or something like that.

But it can be lowered more or less than that with basics

The basics can slam the G... moreso in the front.

do the basics lower more than the flex can?

I'm still looking for coilovers than can drop lower than the Tein Flex in the rears, but it's been a hard search...

They are adjustable but the damper is not. Height is.

I believe they can lower both the same. Dont quote me on that tho.

you can go as low as you want...but you will eventually pay the price at one time or another. unless you never drive your car on perfectly flat roads you will scrape body parts, exhaust parts, etc...going over speed bumps or coming out of entrances. i can tell you this from experience....low looks cool but its not practical if your a daily driver

In a world with no speedbumps, potholes or driveway inclines.... this looks perfect.
