I 'd like some feedback regarding a few things with the coilovers and SS system. Things such as whats your ride height (how many threads are showing below the locking nut). How long/did your coilovers settle? What damping setting on the SS are u using?

Thanks guys I'd just like to compare.

On a side note, wow this suspension is great. Its unrelenting, takes the turns like a champ. Bumpier ride though.

I was running on the lowest setting in the front and about 4 threads up in the rear. The reason is because in the rear, my tire would hit the coils when all the way lowered. I have since changed it to match in the front about 4 threads up and my dampening settings are at 6FR/6R.
I wanted to add something though. The title of this thread is called the Tein Superstrut/Coilover conversation. This confused me as I was thinking about the SuperStrut suspension that is factory on the GT-four and on other celica models. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the "SS" in Tein SS stands for SuperStreet, not SuperStrut.
