Sadly, I have not installed them yet. I have busy and out of town and just have not had much time. It has also been over 100 degrees for 30+ strait days, and it is soooo hot in my garage, I just can't bring my self to do it. The good news is that it is cooling off this weekend (95 degrees), and I will try to get them on this weekend. I will update as soon as they are on, and it will be soon, I am tired of looking at them and tripping over them on my garage floor.

OK, I finally got around to installing the coilovers and front control arms. I am still getting things dialed in, but I will post my impressions in the next week, or so.

Yes, SPC. I am having some issues with one of them and that is the hold up at the moment. I am going to take one more stab at some adjustments tonight, and if I can't get things lined up, I am going to go back to the stock arms. For some reason, I can't get down into negative camber on one side; the range is like 0 to +4 degrees. On the other side, it is fine; more in the range of -3 to +1 which I would expect.

I am not sure what is going on, but I am in the process of taking everything apart and reinstalling them again. They are pretty easy to install and adjust.

Here is my initial review of the Tein SS-P coilovers. I am very impressed so far.

I will add some pics and more driving impressions when I get some more time.

Thanks everyone.

The front lip is about 2", and the rear is about 3".

They are pretty aggressive, but by no means as aggressive as what others are running. I refuse to stretch 225/245 tires on a 9"/10" wheel, or run 3 degrees of negative camber to make these fit. These require just under 2 degrees of negative camber F/R to run these offsets and tire sizes, and I am content with that....

jran76, how is your tire wear with the negative camber you are running? Also, do you have a closeup pic of the rear wheel setup? I would like to see the how a 10" wheel comes together with a 275 tire. I am not a fan of the stretched tire look and the wheel bulging out past the tire.

Thanks.
