Tein street basis, not satisfied, want to go lower
 
Hi, so I installed tein street basis coilovers (I got them as a gift), and they dont go as low as I would have liked. I plan on ordering the PBM rear lcas as they will drop the rear another 40mm, but I'm not sure what I can do in the front. I dont want to remove collars either.

Any advice?

Top mounted front plates (like Ground Control, RaceComp or HVT) can drop the front another 3/8"

Can you post a picture of your car? I want to see how they look. I was considering those.

Sell them and buy coilovers designed to go low. The Teins were probably designed with usability in mind rather than going super low.

They were a gift, not an option

IMO you just need spacers. That'll get rid of all your tuck, and it'll look great.
