I just got the same ones. Do they drop your ride so that there is no gaps between the tires and fenders? In your pics, it doesn't looks that low, can you lower it more? Can you just tell me a little bit about the coilovers.

Please, please tell me you're kidding! I hate those coilovers so much! First off, they don't stay locked. The bottom perch always rattles loose and then spins down, so that when you turn your car drops itself gradually. You'll be able to tell that this is happening because you'll hear loud clunks and pops and creaks and it will sound like your car is falling apart. Also, these coilovers provide the bounciest ride I've ever ridden. Seriously, my car is close to being as bouncy as those ugly cars with the 12" rims and the hydraulics that bounce down the road, and that's at stock height! When it was lowered about 2", it was absolutely unbearable and downright dangerous. If I were you I'd definitely send them back the second they come if you can, or try to cancel your order quick! Trust me, your stock suspension is 100 times better than these sorry excuses for coilovers.

Don't Send them back. I have them also and I hate them. I have mine set about half way down and its barable right now. They are not safe and they are dangerous. Send them back. Use the money to get some good springs or get the Ground Controls.
