I emailed Megan about the minimum and maximum lowering amounts, and they replied that there are far more important specs to worry about (true) and that they didn't even bother to measure the two heights. Strikes me as a little strange, but we'll just have to wait for a consumer to report back to us.

How much would it typically cost to lower your cars and what kind of work is involved?
Need to have a professional do it?

I just looked at the rates and wondered how this picture. would look anything like a 1" inch drop more like 15mm at the most, and the 4.7 rear rate makes me wonder if this will get more tail happy than it already is?

I called Tein. He was confused and told me the rate was what was listed online. Although the spring and literature recieved was 3/4.6 -25/-20.

why are most companies running such stiff rear coils???? Its almost hard to find a soft rear aftermarket coil, for those of us not trying to drift but rather keep the rubber from slipping? I drove the TRD coils this weekend and the rear was way too stiff. ride height ok, compliance-none
