My tl just keeps getting better

Hey guys just wanted to share some new modes of done to my care lately. I know I know. It needs to be lowered. I did. I had it slammed. So low that the back wheels were tucking lol. But I took it off. My car is a daly driver. Plus I was unhappy with the suspention. If I could give any advice. Stay away from Tein S suspention. I'm used to hando civics that I've had before. I would much rather it to ride like it was on rails. But instead it road like a cadilac. It was ever softer then my factory suspention. Owell a lesson learned.

So u would rather have it ride like its on rails, but instead road like a cadilac? with the Tein suspension on? and it was even softer than your factory suspension?

Yeah sorry man. I had the Tein Basic setup. Paid also 900$ for them. I even called Tein to find out what the deal was with the suspenion. They were like umm. Yeah so that suspension setup is just basically for a quick drop but with still the comfort of a stock suspenion. The guy was like, well even tho you just Spent almost 900$. You could try buying stiffer springs for the set. I thought it would be a good setup to buy. But I would say less then 4 months after I ended up selling it. If your looking for a quick drop and it to ride stock then thats the suspenion for you. But don't expect to able to slam it and ride with people in it. Oh expect some nice body role too lol

Oh and I wanted to add what a nice site this is. I thought it would be cool to share pics and and dream of what we want to do to our cars. Didn't know I was in school and had to watch my spelling. I'll make sure to keep my eyes out for other people's errors too.

1. Never start a sentence with the word "and".
2. Run on sentence.
3. Are we really still poking fun at innocent people on forums for grammatical errors?

SMH

By the way Chris, the car is looking nice and clean
