TL lowering

Has anyone seen those TL's that are so low that their end are dragging on the ground? That's pretty stupid cause why in the hell would you do that to a TL. What's a good amount to lower your TL?

the comptech or eibach prokit are some good springs which lower the TL the perfect amount.

H&R race springs (F:2.75"/R:2.00). All wheels nicely tucked in, no wheel gaps. Highly recommend them.

I'm a little biased but the Apexi Coilovers are great because they are adjustable too.

why drop the car so low? I say just get 17's and drop it 1.5 or so, when it gets ridiculously low it looks funny...

It's their preference, and it's what they like. I'm glad people are different.
Hell, if I had the extra money, I would get coilovers that let me keep it at stock height, or drop it up to 4 inches.

I agree.

Not only that but also, when it's lowered too much, you sacrifice performance as well because you will lose traction from too much negative camber (negative camber can be corrected with the correction kit up to a certain degree only). Besides, you won't be able to clear speed bumps, entrance & exit ramps to restaurants or parking garages, etc. It just becomes an inconvenience when it is too low.

I say Comptech springs are the right amount of drop for me with the stock kits on.
