LOWERING HEIGHT FOR COILOVERS

[hphan]

I'm putting my Tanabe Sustec-Pro coilovers on this weekend. Just wondering what a good height is for lowering the fronts and back. My preference is approximately an inch gap from wheel to fender.

I noticed the back is already way lower than the front.

Are the stock camber adjustments on the car enough to keep my tire from uneven wear once I lower it? - Yes I will get it aligned.

Anyone know if I need a spring compressor to install coilovers?

You dont need a compressor for coilovers, only to change springs on stock struts. I lowered my car about 3/4 to 1" all around. Yes the front has a bigger gap for the rake of the car. If you mess w/ that you will mess with performance. I went too low on my fist time and its to much of a pain to drive around town with.

that will not be too much of a drop too align w/ the factory adjustments
you'll be fine

When you put on the coilovers do you have to re-use the stock mount on the stockers?
