Gravana - $850 shipped ($890 list price)

TEIN lists all the technical data I could provide you with on their website. The Cavalier specs are here.

I might stick Dampa-Chi on the car somewhere, where exactly I'm not sure yet.

I just talked to Dan, the setup will be going on the car this afternoon. You can all expect a review later tonight. If you have any questions feel free to post them I'll do my best to answer them.

I'm definitely green with envy. A very hot setup you got there Scotty. Can't wait to get back to school so we can compare suspensions.

The ride is wonderful. It's definately stiff but it's manageable. There's very little body roll. The front dosn't lift durring acceleration and dosn't dive durring braking at all. Needless to say, I love it.

Re: TEIN BASIC pics
Tuesday, February 22, 2005 6:08 PM
Is that as low as they go?
Re: TEIN BASIC pics
Tuesday, February 22, 2005 7:17 PM
I believe they go as low as 2.5"... and that I think would have the top of the tires just level or around level with the fender line. (slightly tucking)



Re: TEIN BASIC pics

My car had 3" of gap up front and 4" of gap out back with stock springs and tires.
Isaak, are you saying that dropping 2.5" would have me tucking?

Thats sounds kinda crazzy.


I am all that is man


Re: TEIN BASIC pics

The install was easy, it's a direct bolt in. No problems here.

The struts could go maybe an inch lower. Yes the tires would be very close to the fender line in the front.

I want to get a set of these for my car, but just some questions which may of been answered before..

I want to get new mounts, will I need to use a spring compressor when putting them on the coilover setup?

I'm gonna leave the mount on my old factory shocks and throw them up in a box somewhere so if i ever want to return it to stock i can just unbolt the others..


thanks

We didn't use a spring compressor to get the mounts on the struts. So, no you don't need them.



Re: TEIN BASIC pics

Well, when I had Apex springs on stock struts on my car... once settled, the tires were VERY close to level with the fenders, and the drop with Apex is 1.8" f & r and once settled they are a good 2". Just a reference I was using.

they were designed to use the 00-05 strut mounts


and most coil overs you do not need to compress the springs on
