Default TEIN SS Anybody?

As my new suspension search continues, I've stumbled across the Tein SS setup. Anybody here running these? Feedback would be appreciated.

hotboxn, dc5brian and code85 are members that are running it. PM them for impressions or they may pop in to your thread.

They ride excellent, but if you're looking to SLAM your car, these aren't the ones for you. I ended up getting shorter/stiffer springs to replace the ones that came with them and now I'm happy with the drop.

hotboxn, what was your ride height in the rear and what wheels/tires are you running with the stock (not shorter/stiffer) springs on the Tein's? Just wondering how close to stock the Tein's run in the rear.

Thanks!

I'm not sure on the exact drop. I'm running:
17x9 +38 w/ 215/45/17 in the front
17x9.5 +38 w/ 225/45/17 in the rear

Only swapped springs in front from 4kg 225mm to 5kg 200mm. Rear I was happy w/ drop. I could tuck about 1/2" of tire in back w/ the springs that came with them in back.
