if you drop the car like 2.5" you still retain full shock travel?
i'm not to familiar with the full coilovers (gc/koni guy
), but i thought it was primarily just having the springs and shocks on one piece, and if you paid extra you got the shocks valved for the spring rates you order, but i don't see how they could se it up for you to slam the car and still retain full shock travel.
so i got 3 questions.
1: Did you get custom spring rates, if so what are they, if not what's the spring rates you get from tein by default.
2. If you order in coilovers with custom spring rates will they revalve the shock automatically or do you have to pay extra? if not are the shocks revalved for the default spring rates?
3. how much shorter are the shocks compared to the stock shocks? i'm sure they are a bit shorter since they know the car will be lowered, but are you reataining good shock travel slammed or is that being sacrificed also?
i'm about to get my shocks revlaved, and shortened and setup for my high spring rates, and i'm thinking of buying a second suspenion for my hatch because i don't think i'll be able to drive my hatch on the street period after the revalved for 800 rear spring rates!
any help is greatly appreciated.
btw can you send me a sticker for my bathroom mirror?

I went with the spring rates that come with them. They are 504f/280r. I didn't do anything custom because i want something that i can learn on. I am hoping that these coilovers will give me good feedback so i can learn how to drive the car really well.
When i install them i will let you know how they compare in size to the stock shocks.
