Anti-slam question
 
So I'm not into the whole "slam it" deal since I live in the Northeast where slamming just means you'll destroy your car/bodykit/rims. I'm actually trying to increase the ride height slightly, or at least keep the stock height, but without all the bounce. I've got an aftermarket coilover sleeve setup now, with some hard poly spring spacers ordered from Japan, with Monroe Spectrum struts. This has given me stock ride height in front and rear.

But let's face it, the sleeves are a PITA. And they're noisy, even with installing the o-rings/rubber tape to dampen the sound, the springs still shift on the mounts because they're cheap. I'm looking for solid recommendations for true coilovers that allow stock to stock+1" adjustment. This allows me for my 17" rims and still keeping a decent sidewall for potholes (50 series).

Suggestions?

The Teins on Ryan's car are nice, and I think last time we raised it up it still had adjustment probably for another 1" or so and he has got to be close to stock height now. He is higher than me and I only have a mild drop of like .9" in back and 1.2" in front

I've purchased Megan coilovers and have been pretty happy with them. They are fully adjustable and, while most people use them to lower their cars, you should be able to raise the height of your car quite a bit :beer:

You're probably the first person I've met who hasn't tried to reduce that monster gap in the front by at least a little.....

Actually, with the 50 series tires on 17s, it's not so bad. I'll take pics;)

Thanks for the info.

I know these allow camber adjustments in the front, do the rears offer this as well? I've got -1.2 on the left and -1.5 on the right, maxed out.
