Stoney I will fit mine soon too (Teins) and will be going fore about 30mm up front and 40mm rear. This is what I ran before, the car sits well, yet speed bumps and other uneven ground (like the entrance to my drive!) shouldn't be a problem. You may want to give that a try. Fitment shouldn't be too difficult, I am gonna give mine a go myself.
30mm front, 40mm rear:

Lexuspat that sits so nice ^^^^^^^
Yeah, I always wanted to take it lower too, but given the places I have to drive I need to retain some clearance, and I did like it as it was. The point I was making is that I think you need to drop 10mm more on the rear to get it to sit flat like that.
Moley What kind of Teins you got to fit mate ?
I think they are Flex... though it's been a few years! Not removed from my old car yet though, and may need a clean up/refurb, depending upon their condition. I was going to fit them with my new rims a couple months back, but now I think I need wider rear tyres, and also will need arch rolling (which nobody does near me!) It all got a bit complicated and what with me having a broken hand too, I'm gonna leave the car as it until the new year now.

Marsdendean I was going to go for the Mesiter ones until i was looking around the £900 mark for the coilovers and fitting . . . . So if anyone posts a guide to fitting then i will have some in the new year
what?!
Cost me £586 or something like that. Fitting is going to cost you over £300?!

Fitting (assuming it take a couple of hours) plus a full geometry setup is just under £300 at WIM

27-10-2018, 12:15 PM #19a couple hundred miles usually? Give MrR a shout they will confirm it for you, it is well worth getting the WIM settings if you haven't got them already.
