i recently just put mine on...

its my first time putting a suspension mod on my car but drop is good, not too low
i never really got to play with the different settings but i have it on 6 which is border line between comfortable daily driving and spirited driving. ride is fine, similar to stock bumps are a little noticeable but hawaii has some really bad roads.

its a great damper kit for a good price. especially right now!

no height adjustment. its just the shocks with dampening adjustment. but the car's stance with the T1R V2 S-Coil Springs is great.

Anyone know what the drop will be with that combo? Pics?

I saw these and got all excited but I really would prefer some height adjustability. Oh well, the D2 C/O's are only ~$300 more and they have height adjustment AND camber. So if the T1R damper+s-coil kit doesn't do it. D2=option B

how long do they last? As long as coilovers? I want to see pics from all angles before I commit lol I've seen enough skunk2 and t1r b52s, but only one of this.

So anyone else got pics, updates, ease of install, quality of components updates? Anything?

I always figure when people don't followup they either didn't go through with it or weren't satisfied. I'm considering the T1R kit over a set of much pricier HKS coilovers but I'd like some more reports before deciding.

installation wasnt that hard. spring compressor made the job easier and safer. also, becareful when removing the stock struts because the axle might pop out. if it does, then it makes it even harder.

im happy with the results!

although there might not be a height adjustment on these dampers, does it lower the car by any means AT all? or does it not change it?

i know putting some upgraded shocks in my past cars lowered it a bit.

im not exactly sure if the new shocks are shorter but i never really noticed a difference in length.

the car is lowered because of the T1R v.2 springs. im sure you can achieve different heights/drops with other aftermarket springs.

looks like it should be 1/2" lower in back, but it's good. Tough choice to make
