I did not know tein was in my list.but,ok...Just bought the nex yesterday.They should be here wensday.They can go 1/2" lower in the front and 3/4" lower in the rear compared to where im sitting now.I hope the ride is not too bad because thats where I want the car to sit.

thats funny richardparker, because i was debating between those two sets also...both are about 30 min away from me, i drove to look at both.... i ended up with NEX because they had them in stock at the moment... my buddy w/ the TL in those pics are dropped on form n functions...his might ride a little bit softer...but it depends how low you want to go and how big your wheels are since if its softer it will rub for sure

Just trying to spend my money wisely.
I only had 1300 to spend.
And I have this stuff lined up.
all new rotors pads ,e brake pads.
Cheap uppers and lower control arms ,sway links f+r,lower balls,both axles and paying to get my sacchi wheels bends straghtend.maybe wheel bearings all the way around if I have the extra.

I'm actually going to be starting to prep the 2 good ones this weekend.
They are going to be all black just havent decided if the wheels are going to be completly flat black or a 2 tone black.
Plans to get the cl rolling perfectly smooth.
Then trans will be up next.

Just got done droping another dose of money on parts.

I also got 2 new sacchi's insted of getting the two bent one's fixed.
I'm out of funds for the time so I wont be able to get them powder coated.
It's going to kill me spraying the new wheels with rattle can paint.
I want them flat black thou so looks like I have no other choice.

Just got a bunch of my stuff today.
I spray one of my old bent wheels with a light coat of black primer and no prep to see the look I'm looking for.
I'm just tired of the polished lip.
I will be starting to prep these tonight.
I'm liking the look.
New one the left and the color I want on the right.
