Can everyone that has basics post pics of their j's dropped on them? I am gauging wether I want to sell my springs and struts and go with basics or not. So help out a fellow member here and hook me up with some pics. I know alot of you on here a photo whores like me anyway.

thats the only two ok pics i really saw on my photobucket I can try and go take some pics tomorrow if you dont mind a really dirty car. The rears are all the way down and the fronts were all the way on the stock wheels now they are raised about 1/2 inch or so.

because I wanna see pics of the drop that they give. I know that they like to sit a lil bit higher in the rear than other setups. Is this a problem that I ask for pics on a PUBLIC forum? Thank you yellowcavy05, anyone else please feel free to post some more pics I would appreciate it.

give me a week or so and I'll put up some pics. Mr. Pute should be shipping out my basics by tomorrow so hopefully I'll have them mid week next week. They go on the car as soon as they arrive.

They are coilovers. You can adjust them. The drop varies between each individual car. If the rear is too high for your liking, lower them more.

Yeah but see in the first pic of WHITECAVY im pretty sure he has TEIN's 2inch short springs on the coilovers. He is asking to see pics becuase of the weird way the basics sit. They don't allow the rear to be lowered as much as say a GC/Yellow combo would so i'm sure he is asking for pics to see how low the coilovers actually drop the car.

thats why i posted a link to the other thread. it doesnt show a pic but it explains it and tells you how to fix the problem if you want to go lower which the other 2 springs are only 100 bucks

Bringing it from the dead but...

COILOVER = Expensive
SHOCKS/STRUST/SPRINGS = Cheaper

What is the gain by purchasing coilovers, what is actually the difference?

depends on what springs you get, it may not be cheaper. gain of coilovers in the adjustable height. springs you cant adjust the height.

plus, if you're a track nut, you can adjust each corner so that you cars weight is distrubuted evenly, greatly improving handling.

Yup I have the 2" shorter springs in the rear in those pics... The ones that came with the kit were NOT low enough for me, I still had a 2" wheel gap slammed all the way in the rear(way to go Tein) So I opted to spend 100 more bucks for the shorter ones.. Worth it I guess.
