Hey Matt. It's going great, nice to drive.

Springs haven't arrived yet. I'll be sure to post up pics once they are installed.

I fitted the Tein S Techs this weekend. Thanks to PHAT for supplying them!

Stock ride height.

Tein S Techs.

Front.

Rear.


I'm happy with the drop in height and the reduction in body roll. Car is flatter through the corners. Ride quality is firmer but not uncomfortable. There was plenty of knocking coming from the front at first which was VERY unexpected. Rears seem to be okay. I've done about 150km since and it's gotten better but hasn't completely disappeared. Short, sharp bumps are the worst; especially mid corner.
Unfortunately I snapped a strut bolt trying to diagnose/fix the issue. So now I'm after a replacement tophat for a Bilstein! I doubt I can purchase just the tophat by itself (hope I'm wrong) so I'm prepared to buy a whole shock if necessary. If anybody has one they don't want I'll gladly take it off your hands.
