I'm useless to but one thing I have learned is spend the money and get something adjustable as once its on the car if its not adjustable your stuck if the ride is horrible

Indigo GT can supply you with some but if you are planning to upgrade in the future to coilovers I would wait and go straight to them rather than having to change again like someone I know:whistling:

all depends how low toy want to go really and why would you want to adjust it up and down cos every time you move the ride hight youll have to get the wheel alignment re set so perhaps tein lowering springs are the right way to go. really depends how low and what use your gonna give the car cos coilovers might be the better choice if doing ant track work :)

I'm not really planning on doin loads of track driving , mayb a few times.. So I think I mite just get the springs as the main reson I'm doin it it to just make it look better as I think it's to high , and maybe make the handling slighty better.. Cheers for that, big help

No problems fitting with stock Billys I used to have them on mine and Geof runs his with them on but I switched to exe-tc coilovers as the tein were to low for around where I live with all the flaming ramps:twisted:

Any guides on how to fit them?? Lowered a few cars before so can't see it being too hard on the evo.

Any pics of a 9 on teins?
