Hey @Lawnik, which specs are those 57Xtremes? I am going to move them into the appropriate topic. Are those 18x7.5 +40 all around, 18x8.5 +33 / 18x9.5 +43 staggered or is it a different spec combination?

They are the 18x8.5 +33/18x9.5 +43 staggered in semi-gloss black which is pretty flat in person.

Moved those photos into the correct topic so others can find it more easily.

Finished up the install of the Tein Flex coilovers yesterday at my buddy's shop, East Coast Garage. I have to say they were pretty easy to do.

With access to a lift I think it could be done in an hour to an hour and a half. It took us a little less than an hour and a half, maybe less.

I decided not to "slam" the car so we left the pre-loaded spring section of the coilovers alone and adjusted the bottom portion all the way down. We did this at all 4 corners.

As far as the dampening we set both rears to 10 and set the front passenger to 13 and the driver to 15 to start. I will see how it feels and then adjust as needed.

I am not happy with how the photos came out. With the car being white and the rims being the winning blue you really need good lighting to get it all to show and look good in a photo. I don't have a bunch of lights so I need mother nature to cooperate, she has not. Hopefully I will get a nice day to get better pics.

Here are a few preview pics from the install article I am finishing up for our site.

Looks awesome!

I'm a big fan of the 57xtreme, can't wait to get mine in.
