So, I just had my tein basics installed today and so far im loving the handleing but it is going to take a little while for me to get used to the bumpier ride. People weren't kidding when they said you feel everything on the road. Overall it is worth it, great product. Only thing is that I basically have the front and back dropped as low as possible, which makes the lancer quite a bit lower than stock but not too low as it would on other cars. I like the look and fell of where they are set right now but I notice a sound coming from the front wheels when I turn the wheel too far in either direction which is has to be rubbing. Anybody know how to get rid of this by not having to raise the car up? I like the level it is at right now. Thanks in advance for any input.

Ps: please no comments on the head/tails as they have been discussed in previous posts.

 

looks nice... yeh when i hit a bump i always think my rear control arm is gonna fall off

 

not feeling the tails, but the teins look sweet

 

ive got teins, but man you are SLAMMED. thats what all the way down looks like huh? i may try that. What size rims are those?

 

Yeah, They are 17s, on 205/40/17 tires.

 

damn...they look bigger than that..

 

+1?

The Teins look sweet, and yes, being that low, and with tires that thin, you can taste the bubblegum on the road. And you'll cringe everytime you hit a bump... it's great

 

looking nice drop there...how much lowered?

 

That's atleast a 2 inch drop max. Plus you don't have any side skirts on the car so you wouldn't have to worry about it actually touching the ground. Same goes for the front and back.

Imagine my OZ dropped like that, I'd be scraping everything possible...lol

 

looks good. you'll get used to the bumpier ride in no time!

 

looks clean, how low is the drop?

 

Its basically maxed out right now, so the front is about 2.6 inches and the back drop is 1.9 in the rear according to the tein specs on the basics. I am most likely going to raise the front up a little bit and then get my alignment done. Only rubbing I get is when the steering wheel is turned a lot in either direction but I am most likely going to cut the dirt guard to solve that problem. I just need to figure out the setting I want before I go to get my alignment.

 

bump for more feedback.

 

nice ... i want some of those but still shopping for best price. where did u get your from and how much?

 

Your car looks great. I like how an ES looks lowered and no body kit on it. Nice and clean.
