    Paint marks at the bottom but I don't think it matters. We just got in TEINs and that's how they were.

    the shop installed the front springs (green mark) at the back.. it rode so comfy, almost cant feel bumps, but high about 14in. From arc to wheel cap.

    Fixed em now and it sits 13in. rear, 12in. front.. ride gpad improved. Will check the understeer when i get home. Theres a ramp where i used to do 60kmh with stock springs and 70kmh lowered.
    Now i have to align my headlights.

    Bad news, the slight angle is giving me a terrible headache. mainly the different sitting position. Also, body roll is worse.

    Will install the maxspeeds at the rear again though ill see if i can have a spacer of some sort to install at the rears to raise it a bit. Better if they have rubber stoppers to prevent bottoming out.

    Looks good. How it rides?

    We installed TEIN coilovers on Sunday, need to rise rear by 1/2" inch. And now it understeers as you can push it more. Camber kit is next.

    the rubber lifter, which is made from surplus heavy equipment tires, dampened the ride a bit.

    rear feels a bit like the stock 'comfy' ride compared to the harsh straight up lowering springs only.
