I e-mailed that exact question to endura-tech. I was told you can maintain stock height with their coilovers.

yah, you can go higher than stock to about -3" lower than stock on
the front, -2" on the rear. very versatile system indeed.

they both seem to be quality coilover setups, the pro c's being more 'hard-core' and track oriented, the enduratechs being geared more towards sporty daily driving and comfort.

i believe kenchan was running these with the progress bar, and took it off because it was unnecessary with this set up.

i have mine set with +0.05 per side on the front. didn't need to adjust
camber.

rear's i didn't adjust at all (there's really nothing factory that can be
adjusted) and have incredible toe-in... tires are wearing pretty evenly
though.

hey, got a chance to drive the ET in this 18F weather in chicago.

no problems wat so ever. unlike TEIN's i had before on my other cars, the
ride is yet very smooth, no werd noises such as squeaks or clunks, etc.
very reliable system.

just a little update, i installed the back c/o's on wednesday and Im finishing the fronts tomorrow.

So far, Ive noticed the handeling being better. i can take corners much smoother now, not perfect yet but keep in mind I only have the backs on. I have about an inch gap between the back wheels and fenders.

As far as comfort goes, these dont seem any stiffer than stock. No huge bounces...nothing. These are perfect i think.

When i install the fronts, i prolly wont be using a compressor so i will let everyone know how that goes haha.

thats it for now, full review probably on monday/sunday.

ps - if anyone has a rsb for sale under $100 ill buy it from you =)

why would you need a spring compressor to install the fronts? you arent taking the spring off for any reason.

the nut you have to take off of the top hat is causing the stock spring to be compressed and when you take it off, the spring can shoot off.

dam....they didnt even give you a new bolt? bolts are cheap....sucks.

i dont even use a spring compresser when i take my springs off either...it just makes a pop and thats it. scary only because its sudden. but i usually aim in some grass. but thats only if your takin the OEM spring off the shock. once you replace it with a lowering spring it will never pop heh.
