So I finally installed my new springs the other day, well only the fronts I plan on doing the rear this weekend, let me know what you guys think and sorry for the crappy cell pics

Before:




After:

 

While I do think the rims are a bit too big for my tastes, I'm glad you did the drop properly.

What springs?

And you definitely need a kit bro

good job!

 

What springs?

Not a fan of the wheels, those 20's? Yeah blades like that dont flow well with a TL.
Good job though, get the rear done.

 

Thanks guys

There the Eibach pro kit

yeah there 20's I was gonna sell them and get some 18's but dont feel like spending the extra money since im still in college

 

ugh .... no on the wheels , too big and doesnt look right on a tl.

 

no no no dubs on a TL. it honestly dont look right at all......

 

Those wheels might fit if you go the VIP route? But it would only look good if your slammed to the ground (coilovers) and with a body kit...

 

 

I know most people don't like the 20's on a tl but at the time when i was buying wheels I didn't have the money for 19's, but how does 20's look bad if set up like this

<---ZEUS'O3TL

 

1) he has a kit, you don't

2) two different type of rims, one with lip and one without.. etc.

3) he's lower than you

 

those rims would be good for 2012 if we have any floods, but seriously u should sell them...and get some 19's or 18's, u may think we're hate'n but we arent, were're just telling you the honest truth.......we only want the best for our TL members...

 

 

Well said!

 

I believe it was Zeus or something. One of the few TL's that could pull off 20's.

But yeah, the probability of you pulling it off are not high.

 

The drop looks nice! but ive gotta say the rims just dont flow well their too big unless ur kitted and dropped like the AM one up there

 

^............those wheels don't blend well with that car ... .......

 

dont like the wheels, but everything else is coo... go lower tho

 

I appreciate the input guys and after hearing what everyones said I took off the rims and put the stockies back on, ill add a photo soon

 

Alright guys this better? and I know everyone will say i need to go lower but i'm on Eibach springs and this is my everyday car in Kansas where it snows all the damn time

 

^PICS did'nt come up .......and as far as what people have to say with your drop and how low....you go as low as you feel appropriate....listen i live in N.Y i am not slamming my car to the ground.........if i do decide to drop i will drop it within an amount that i can still maneuver the way i want to maneuver ...........................

 

 

The 20's would look better if u had a kit and was lower.

 

good decision on getting rid of the 20's

 

Nicely put lol

Tomorrow I will finally be doing the drop on the rear! I'll add pics after, I've also picked out my next set of rims which I think everyone will agree that they will look 1,000x's better

 

those are gonna look sweet

specs of wheels?

 

good choice if youre into black wheels! better than having the previous rims!

 

There 18x7.5 42 offset

I had a hard time choosing the color it was a toss up between the all black face or a silver but i saw LacViet's TL and that thing is SICK!

 

huy's are 19's but you can still pull it off and be lower than him!

 

I know most everyone has the 19's but the ones above for all 4 wheels,lugs,hub rings, free shipping = $547 lol that was the deciding factor right there

then im gonna get the general exclaim uhp tire for $99-103 each

should I do a 215/40/18 or a 225/40/18? I'm having a hard time deciding

 

lol i got the ADR's in those...

 

Your car will look way different. Good for you.

 

you might want to get spacers with those specs

 

See now this is great progress

 

Nice choice with the new wheels

 

YES YES YES!

the stockies look better! if you sell the 20s you'll def make enough to offset the cost of the 18s

and i'd go for lower profile tires. why? moar lowww

 

the drop makes the rims look much nicer on the car

 

any input on this?

I couldn't of made the progress I have if it weren't for all you members looking out

off topic a little but my next mod is gonna be to do a little JDM, replace the A's with H's!

 

215/40/18 is perfect. im lowered on eibach sportlines with black and machined 18s and the look is amazing. i get compliments from BMW ppl. and the ride even on stock struts is OMG

 

how is the ride when you lower it im so torn since im using this as my daily driver

 

So far from what I can tell the ride isn't much different except it doesn't nose dive when you go to slow down and doesn't lean when you turn, I use my car as a daily driver as well,

how I look at it, the idea is in your head which means you truely want to do it, SO DO IT! lol
