We don't plan on changing the spring at all. It was designed this way so that when you carry more weight in the car, it won't be dragging it's butt on the ground.

 

Hey i was wondering, the Bemer 330's don't seem to have rake. The front and back seem to have the same wheel gap. Are there any springs that can make the TL look like this?

 

Exactly! My extra .5" of height in the rear is gone when I have passengers in the back. And it's not that noticible unless you expect your TL's wheels to be tucked. Then you need a different setup, like coilovers.

 

I say load like three heavy people in the back, and take really hard corners couple times, maybe settle the springs more?!?!?

 

Hey I notice your steering wheel is like wood, NICE! j/k

How you like it man?

 

AC! I love it! Slightly shinier than the airbag but not too noticeable. Going to try and fix that this weekend. It rocks! Check out the other pics, click "Nate's Ride" in my sig. Thanks AC!!

 

The wheel arch on the rear fender of the BMW is lower than the front...Observe:

The rear wheel arch is lower...follow the side molding fron the front to back, you'll see what I mean...there's more gap in front than back, and the car does have a rake to it's look..

What now? Huh? HUH?? HUH???

 

no rake ='S mean looking

 

First off, the pic wasn't taken straight, the left side of the pic is lower than the right. Secondly,look at the wheel gap in the front.. Like I said, the rear wheel arch is lower than the front, so the rear tires will look lower than the front for those reasons, unless they give the car a rake..

I don't recall seeing any raked factory sport suspensions. It just looks goofy to me. I have Eibach Pro-Kit Springs on my Accord, and it sits perfectly level. The documentation that came with the springs states that the load carrying capacity remains the same with the new springs, because they are progressive. So thew more loaded the car gets, the firmer the spring would become. Come to think of it, when do you ever see a fully loaded TL? It's far more common to see one with one person driving it.

 

Thats why the make these things call hacksaws, If its raking, start cutting!!!

 

LOL!

 

Dude, TLon19s isn't even playing around!
