The problem with the Tein kits is they dont drop as much as youd hope and thats the only reason why im still on the fence with them.

They only drop 55mm in the rear and 45mm up front.

XYZ's

The front drops to around 330 and the rear drops to 295 if u have a steel rear upper arm and 305 of alloy. These measurements are Center of hub to guard

Which is about 30mm lower than Tein's kits. They claim 50mm lower than ultra low springs.

Not sure about in Aussie, but in NZ you have to get them certed (engineered), so you'd need to budget another $500 right away.

So nice. How hard are they to adjust at home?

Not too bad but your can't raise all 4 corners in an hour. Probably take more like 3 and I just measure off the bottom with a ruler to get the heights even

Thanks mate. Tried to be a bit different but not in your face bold.

I'm sure the guys at 888 could suggest or even fabricate a decent coilover for a Commodore lol
