You guys remember this??






Well, here it is now...





what you think??

 

Alot better..what kind of drop is it?

 

Looks nice.

But am I missing something? The before and after look the same...

EDIT: Oh...its lowered now.

 

took a torch to one of the coils on each side of the springs to loosen it up and the springs just readjusted itself and settle an inch lower. spray it with cold water to heal it back up and it' just as strong as it was before. so technically, still on factory springs, no cuts wat-so-ever. still rides like factory, no bounce, not stiff. it actually rides alot better than one of my friend's who dropped his car on teins H-tech.

 

^holy shit, is that what you did!??!! deyum i have never heard of that before.

 

Sweet moses that is a nice car indeed...very clean...but chrome is not my style at all (sorry I hope it's not offending)

 

wow i'm surprised you got it even on all sides...but that's scary.

 

buddies of mine has been doin it for years so he was use to it, but we measured it to be sure. it only dropped when it touched the flame, when we pulled away it stopped.

I didn't think i would get chrome either, but it just matches my emblems, door handles and door sills, so i just said watever.... at least it ain't gangsta chrome

 

nice, i love chrome!

 

never heard of that method to drop the car...nice job and car's lookin good

 

not a big fan of cut springs, but at least its not 4x4 anymore

 

Cut springs are horrible. Whatever floats your boat. I think you could of chosen better rims for it but there still nice though.

 

well he said he didn't cut them.

 

well he heated them, has the same effect. It'll still mess up the spring/rebound rates.

 

not good for the springs omg dangerous. Springs are what, a couple hundred bucks? Man get some real springs as you have severely changed and weakened the properties of the stock springs.

 

you guys are right about that, i have thought about it, but we've done it for years already on many cars including many of our own, I felt the same about my car but decided to just try it and see what happens. Got my H-tech right here in case tho. But i'll keep ya posted on what happens.

 

change the drop, lower that bitch some more.

 

Uhhh ... that's not true. You changed the structural property of the spring by heating it to the point where it melted and sunk down by gravity. Most likely, the spring will SNAP at that point where you heated them (when the structural integrity gives in).

Looks good now but when they snap ... not cool. I would definitely NOT recommend this technique.

 

nice work.

but technically when u heat the spring up, only one coil is literally being bent at an angle sharper than the rest of the coils so that it would "drop". Sso that would be a weak point as it would not carry the weight evenly across the coil.

risque, but if it works, it works

 

eh, i'll prolly put on my teins by the end of the week, just wanted to try something new...

 

Show us another Pix Update with the Tein H-tech next week

 

I'm sorry guys, but i guess I won't be posting new pix of my tein H-tech.
I think it was time to let my car go eventho i barely had it for like 7 months. today i got rear ended, pretty much totalled the car. I guess i won't be part of this thread anymore.... i will post pictures soon....

 

OMG... not another TL...

This is like the 4th or 5th one including me who got into an accident recently

 

I'm sorry to hear....

 

I meant Forum, not thread, it's 1:30am and i'm tired from this overwhelmed feeling of my loss.

 

WOW...I'm starting to wonder if our tail lights are bright enough. That's way to many rear-end accidents lately. Actually it's probably because there are so many people who just don't pay enough attention when they are driving. Sorry to hear about that.

 

shitty luck. looks ok, dont care for the rims but hey i guess it doesnt matter anymore.

on a side note.....KlEpTo your new sig is dope.
