Two weeks ago I had installed Tein Street Basis Z coilovers for on my '07 SC. I have the Tein set to 3.4cm on the front and 3.4cm in the back. When I take a step back from the E, the front looks lower (assume due to the weight of the engine in the front) as the back is empty. The front Coilovers don't have any damping... in order to dampen them I have to lower the car to loosen the spring? When I currently drive it my front seems so stiff when i hit a bump its kind of loud. (does this mean i should lower it abit more) i gear i may start rubbing more if i go to low.

When I picked up my E, the previous owner said it was on lowering springs. Rear spring were covered in gunk from the shocks leaking and didnt know until I cleaned them up to replace the shocks that they were Teins. Did the front control arms and lower ball joints, rear upper arms with a set of moogs, and rear shocks with KYBs to refresh the suspension. It is a stiff ride, driving over uneven roads I get a lound thump that sounds like the dashboard is going to crack.

Should probably ask NDE or mr_manny, my E is a LX with just Tein lowering springs and KYB struts. Posted on this thread to help others compare ride height of tein springs only vs the coil overs.
