Have to go with the OEM kit! It looks super clean... Here's what it would kinda look like if you have a 99 or 00...



This is when it was droped about 1.5"... that's a guess...

When I had the OEM kit on the car without a drop, it looked hideous. But that's just my personal opinion.

I wish Santy would come my way with an ABP body kit, then I'd tell you for sure.

Barring that, I do like the look of stock height with kit vs. without...

*gasp* We actually disagreed on something!

I don't know about the UA4, but the UA5 seriously looks like ass (especially in the front, not so much the sides or the rear) with kit, no drop. Looking at pictures from the old times when I had the kit without a drop, I can't believe I actually rode around like that. And I'm not a drop-junkie, either.

Without the drop, the kit still gives the car a lower look and takes the eyes off of the gap.

If you can get a pic of the Canadian version of the TL A-Spec it should answer your question perfectly..

The A-spec comes with the OEM kit and is the same height as the stock TLs and TL-S' . It comes with some suspension upgrages (sway and/or strut bars), but I'm almost 100% positive the ride height is the same.

By the way, the A-spec looks great with the OEM kit and at stock height..IMO that is.
