sorry pictures kinda suck. (*these are not for those who are looking to slam(extreme lowering) their cars). tires are 195/50/15 thinner than stock 195/55/15.

"Edit: There's some error during this installation, the car actually can go lower than this without bottoming out, and Note that the front has POSITIVE CAMBER(\--/)due to no alignment, that's why it looks alot higher than it suppose to."

yes, but then you would possibly bottom out, like i said in the pictures, the tires are 195/50/15, thinner sidewalls than stock 195/55/15, in the pictures that's 2 fingers gap between tire and fender in the front, i imagine it would have 1 finger gap if use stock tire size.

And if you're looking for performance out of any coilovers, you shouldnt be slamming the car.

Edit: this is before I realize the installation error, you can go lower with no problem...:]

bump, just check with the friend sold me the coilovers today, the car can go lower about another 1 and 1/2 fingers without bottoming out. which means it'll tuck the rear tires if you want to go lowest possible height.

I'll call you today Jason, you're the first on the list!

im sorry, i cant afford them anymore!

I looked at my tires and realized NO tread was left, it was raining this week and i was hydroplaning at 60mph on the freeway so i had to get new shoes. Found a good deal on wheels with tires and took em. I apologize again, i really wanted your coilovers but safety first good luck with the sale man

oh they are pretty much new by the way, less than 1000miles on them, height adjustable 7k front 5k rear.
I love the price of them and am looking for a new coilover setup, but i have never heard any info on this company. Can you give me some more details? are they rebuildable? Where are they made? Any pictures of the product (i'm assuming they are off the car now) and are they just coilovers or is the damper adjustable and how many settings.

this is what i've found DAIYAMA, made in Taiwan, damper force is fixed. (They're still on the car now, until someone is for sure buying them, then we can set up a day for pick up). thanks.
