Lowering?

Hi, im new to Acurazine. i am thinking of lowering my 2003 TL-p but i am not sure what is the best lowering kit for the money. Pro skunk2 coilovers look good but i am also worried about the chambers. if you lower the car wont the wheels be on a slopped angel inwards?

thanks

mods:

kendwood Cd receiver, AEM short ram air intake, custom tips.

ill post some pics soon.

hmmm... ok, since you have the kenwood receiver, you're gonna want to go with a tein basic setup. BUT, you also have the aem shortram, so im kinda leaning towards the ksport unit.

thanks for your advice, which would handle well, give me a nice drop (1.5 - 20 inches) and still give a good ride?

so if i get a full set up it should take care of the wheels being on a sloped angle inwards right?

thanks again

@ stRodda

go for the basics, if you can afford to, then get the SS cuz you can adjust the stiffness...

how much do you want to lower your car? minimal wheel gap or no wheel gap at all? if you want to lower it a couple of inches then look into some lowering springs. that way, you can have a subtle, lowered height and your ride quality is still nice. camber kits and an alignment should take care of the camber (wheels sloped inward).

I'll trade you my S-Techs already mounted on my shocks for your stock springs/shocks +$100.

SPC Alignment Components would be good with TEIN Springs - S. TECH right?

Stay away from the SPC front kits. Go with Ingalls for that.
