what are the jic sf1's, i just got the tein ss dampers and so far they are really great, the one thing you need to do is well you have HAVE to get camber plates. if you lower the car really low the inside of the tire will scrap on the spring seat. i know this because in two days i killed my front dunlop sp sport 5000 tires. so for now i highered the car which is still pretty dam low. as soon as i get the camber plates i will lower it a little more maybe. and i think it wont scrap the sping seat anymore. as far as the quality of the tein's, there really good they where ez to install and the shocks have 16 settings, iam just really happy with them. seen i brought the car up a couple of inch's.
98'se-r not srue if u had ground controls before but could u do a comparison? i know i had my gc's bottomed out at 4", it looked good but TIEN's sound more extreme. im in the market for these in the next year. do they go lower that 4"? just for show purposes.. u know..
Luispeed, sf1 has no adjustments as far as compression and rebound goes. It's for street with 36mm piston twin tube design. Flt-2 - street/ competition with 40-45mm mono tube design. Flt-A2 is the same as the Flt-2 except it has 15 compression and rebound adjusments.

98'se-r, what size are your tires. Mine is 215x45x17 yokos on a 7.5 TE37 rims with 40mm offset. I have a 1/2 inch gap in the front fender and 3/4 at the back. No rubbing at all. It might not be your height settings that causing the problem, it might be the offset of your rims.

i have stock rims with 195/50 tires. When the tires where scraping there was NO wheel gap the car was slamed. now there is about an inch and a half or two inch gap and no rubbing. so when hks ask's if it can go lower then 4" and you mean body drop and not suspention then hell yeah you can make the tires tuck in. when the car had no wheel gap it still wasn't as low as the coil overs could go.

how low did you go? i dont plan on going SUPER SUPER low...but i might get camber plates 2 be on the safe side as well... what kind of camber plate did you get?
tein does make a pillow ball mount that will fit the b14(pan26-31pfr) and it will allow for camber ajustment. its from a jdm car, they cost 150 but it takes 2-3 monts to get. as far as the dampers gt pro was one of the best prices i got but they can go lower.i got them for under list price and installed.
LUISPEED, see me tomorrow. I'll be home all day. I'll show you my suspension and I'll give you a ride on my car. Hell, I might let you drive it as well.
