Teins On Is250

[ilv1004s]

picked these babies up yesterday

fresh from japan YO!!

this is just a basic guide i didnt have time to take any fotos and im not god at wiring these kinda stuff

so step 1

take off all the covers and such in the engine bay

then undo your wheels

undo the nut that connects the shocks and the lower control arm

ad jack the control arm to get the sway bar bushings out

all the bits i'v circled in you must undo.. and pop the hub out

undo these nuts on the top of the strut tower

then take the shock out an replace the OEM shocks with the new springs

and reverse the order te assemble

Step 2

For the rears

take out the rear interior as such

loosen and take out the circled bits

loosen and take out the 3 bolts that hold the shcks/hub and sway bar mounts

but u only have to loosen the nut thats on the lower subframe (circled)

once u have done so this will happen

to get the shocks out there are 2 bolts that hold the shocks to the chassis of the car

they are under a dust cover and u need to undo the 2 small nuts to access the shocks

once u have taken out the cover you will see this

undo the circled bolts.

take out the shocks and fit th new sprins in and reverse the order for assembly

and this is how my car looks right now

from this height

to....

This!!

Nice work Ilv!! Looks HOTTT!!! B)

I wonder how much its going to settle..... How much gap is there at the moment between the guard and wheel??

I guess we will see on the 25th!

Is it an even finger gap front and back?? Do you think that you will have to roll the guards or you have definately put it through its paces with no scrub!?!?!?! Like I said man, if you can post a close up pic of the wheel arch's, atleast then we will all know what type of drop to expect from the Teins ST's. Then when Cevu gets the F-sports on, we can get a reference for them as well. QQQ, can you post a close up pick of the Eibach's drop!!

Thanks y'all!!!
