Just Lowered on TEIN Springs

MacDutchski · 12-14-2007, 10:42 PM

[EDIT] More pictures on page 2 [/EDIT]

Just had my car lowered today at Vivid Racing here in Chandler, AZ. Thought you guys might like to see the end result. I'll probably put on the Breytons tomorrow.

Very nice drop

Does your car ride a lot more rough now? Clean looking drop btw.

Nice job!!!

Pumpkin Head · 12-14-2007, 11:25 PM

nice drop!

MacDutchski · 12-14-2007, 11:38 PM

Not rough at all, it rides really nice and my wife isn't complaining!

I liked the stance the Tein S-tech gave on my old ride, but it was too bouncy that I would bottom out A LOT.

nice drop!

Queenskid24 · 12-15-2007, 01:07 AM

lkn · 12-15-2007, 02:45 AM

I came from Japanese cars before European cars and have had TEIN, Eibachs, H&Rs, H-Sports, Intrax, and KWs. So far TEINs have been the best. Plus I got a smoking deal on these springs courtesy of another member here on E90post, SES_D.

They are perfect man. Thanks for the quick shipping!

I think the poor ride most people complain about comes from the larger wheels and tires, I might be wrong though. I'm putting on my 19s today, so I'll find out.

Perfect, nice and clean.

BoostedBMW · 12-15-2007, 10:53 AM

The drop looks good.

elvis05 · 12-15-2007, 11:14 AM

Very nice drop! How much does Vivid Racing charge for installation?

PIMP "E" · 12-15-2007, 12:48 PM

tein makes some good kits, all you need now is some dub deuces....

MacDutchski · 12-15-2007, 12:57 PM

I think the labor came out to like something just under $400. The labor rate is $95/hr.

ALPINE6SPD · 12-15-2007, 02:35 PM

Looks nice. Not too low like a lot of other cars with springs and coilovers. Just enough.

Your going to feel like the car is floating. Having NON-RFT tires are definately essential to the rides smoothness.
