Koni Yellows and Tein S-Techs.

[DanCan]

Hey Guys, been awhile since I posted. I`ve had my Tein S-Techs and Koni Yellows since early February and we finally got some decent weather to put it all on!! CoOchysCB7 and I lowered my CB7 sedan this weekend, and I couldn`t be happier with the results..So here it is before and after side shots, front shots and struts.




Front strut side by side



My Koni perches are on the "stock" setting, so it can be even lower, but as a daily driver this height is practical. The ride is excellent, very soft, like stock, maybe a lil stiffer, 10/10. Body roll has definitly decreased in the corners. I havent touched the dampening settings on the konis, they are shipped on there softest setting, and I like it. This is a daily driver and Im getting old<..lol, low and slow.

Looks good! The S-Techs give a nice ride. I have them, but on stock struts.

However I will be upgrading to F&F Type 1 coilovers over the winter.

Do you have any rims for it yet, or just rockin the steelies?

[Co0chysCB7]

Turned out better than i thought and can still be dropped another 3/4" if need be,.. Amazing ride quality!

Ride looks good bro

Looks good man!

Very nice... black and beautiful!

A modest drop, but it still looks great.

Nice work!

Can i ask why one of your headlight lenses has electrical tape across it?

[deevergote]

I thnik a drop like that looks way better than 'slammed'. Looks good!

I hate that most drops have the rear look lower than the front. My own car looks like that, and I want to try to fix it. The sideskirt is parallel to the ground, so it's level... but I'd rather have the rear up a little more, to have a wheel gap similar to the front.

You should like that setup. Play with the stiffness of the shocks. A little stiffer than full soft might actually give a better ride.

Hey thanks guys, I really love it, can still go up and down most drives without scraping. And yeah, mine actually sits a lil lower in ther rear, due to extra weight, big sub and box, battery, spare tire, amp rack, sound deadening. I could raise the perch in the rear, but it goes up a full inch, too much imo... maybe try messing with the stiffness of the koni`s ??

Touche..

If everything is brand new, it still may need to "settle in" to its true ride height.

I wouldn't mess with the height until that has happened.

Hey thanks guys, I really love it, can still go up and down most driveways without scraping. And yeah, mine actually sits a lil lower in the rear, Well not lower like you said, its level, just the front wheel well is higher for some reason on our cars. The car needs to be raked for it to look perfect. The Teins are designed to fix that but due to extra weight, big sub and box, battery, spare tire, amp rack, sound deadening, it stayed level. I could raise the spring perch in the rear, but it goes up a full inch, too much imo... maybe try messing with the stiffness of the koni`s ?? Thanks for ur input.

The stiffness won't change the way it sits.
And raising the perch an inch won't necessarily raise the car an inch. It depends how the spring compresses.

That`s true, it`s all brand new... I`ll wait a few months see what happens before i make any adjustments..

LMAO!! Check the GAP on the front well...lol...I rode like this??? Holy.!.
So Yes, I have these, but the rubber bands on them suck arse!
Typical 205/40/R17, I could rock a 45 series, but even better a 50.
I need sidewall, im all about ride quality now, like i said, im old..lol The steelies are 205/50/R15
What i really need is ur rims crazymikey...lol I know all about ur score, u got good deal!! i was p.m.ing you about ur s-techs and how they rode few months back.

[crazymikey]

Those wheels look great...and will look better with the drop.

Yeah, I like the S-Techs...perfect for the sleeper look I'm after, but a stock 2005 Mitsubishi Lancer runs circles around my car in the handling department. I'm stiffening everything up with new bushings and coilovers.

[deevergote]

205/45/17 will be fine. 50 is too tall.
