WOOT WOOT. Tein Basics FTW. Hope you enjoy the ride as much as I do. Looks pretty close to all the way down there, but let us know how many threads you have from the bottom if you're not all the way down.

The ride is plush. belive it. I mean not stock plush.. but not like you imagine a car dropped 3 inches would be.

my car does not rub! as for scrapes...jus go slow up driveways and work the speed bumps! thanks for the compliments!

Forgot... I'm off by about 2 degrees in the rear, so yes rear camber kit this weekend. you could go without it but the inside of your tires will get eatin up.

Have you had your shocks bottom out on you at all yet being that low? That's my main concern about bringing the basics down that low. Scraping the bottom is just gonna happen regardless.

nice drop man, looks exactly like my 03 TLS. That looks like some 35% tint all around by the way.
