Here's 35% window tint. That dot matrix on the sides of the front and rear windows makes the tinting difficult.

Hey Kero,

Thanks for posting the pics, they looks so cool!

Btw, did you take the car for alignment after installing the springs?

Did you get a camber kit or anything or did you just have a alignment done afterwards? I'm thinking about getting these as well, but with the last pics it looks like the car was lowered a little too much. That is why I'm asking about the alignment.

Teins look to lower the Evo just right and have no wheel gap. Alot better than any other springs I've seen. Is there any other that compare?

I see ALOT f people dropping their cars 2 inchs or so, my MAJOR concern is the camber which will go outa wack when lowered, how do you adjust? See any uneven wear on the tires yet?

The camber can be fixed with a camber kit, if there is one available. Sometimes the alignment place can get it in spec or close enough depending on how low you went with the drop.

I remember running some negative camber with my Type-R and never had any issues with tire wear. You just can't go to crazy with the drop not the camber setting.

Judging by the pis, the camber doesn't look bad at all on either the Tein's or the Tanabe's.

Trev0006, your car looks good with those wheels. I'm feeling sme GTU's so badly it isn't funny. They'll go well with a red EVO with the red line around the rim. I'm wanting the gold one's though, but I could take the gunmetal as well.
