The Official Coilover Picture Thread
Post pics of your fit and what kind of coilovers you are on.
No spring drops allowed!

Springs/Struts count? Or does it have to be strictly coils?

T1R B52 Dampers
You can see the effects here of the unique Camber adjustability with these. Very important if your interested in performance.

Ride comfort is subjective, which is why its hard to say how it feels. I think these are fine for everyday use. But some may not like it.
The damping on the T1R are valved up to 12k so it is pretty stiff but the springs on the street kit are 6k F&R, so its not bad.
6k is stiff enough for street tires, But if you autox and have R comps it rolls a good amount and your going to want to bump it up to 8k or so.
Edit: why did I? Because its there to reduce noise which is ridiculous. I noticed no difference after. It acts like a giant blanket for the engine compartment and i dont think i want the temps to be hotter then they need to be.

with the skunk2 coilovers, there is a bit of play in the holes where the lower part mounts. i was able to push the brake so there is a bit of camber. no pix yet, because i haven't gotten the ride height where i want it.
