Hey guys,
i have a 2002 Tl-S and I just picked up a set of Koni Yellow's and Eibach Pro-Kit to be installed in the Spring. Since I am also due for new tires, I'm thinking of replacing those as well. With this new set-up I have two questions that I would love some input on:
1. Does anyone have this suspension set-up? I know that a few of you do (yes, I've searched) but can't find any pics. I am hoping that someone can send me a pic of the drop height on their car. the Koni Yellow's come with two different spring-seat heights so i would love to see what the different drop heights look like before I go ahead and do the install.
2. I'm keeping the stock TL-S rims, but am considering going with a lower profile tire to maximize the use of the suspension. Is it recommended to go with a 45 series tire or stick with the 50 series? I guess it would come down to personal preference, but if there is anyone out there with stockies and a lower profile tire, feel free to chime in!
thanks guys - appreciate any help you can offer me!

If you're set on sticking with the stocker "S" rims, go for the lower profile tire along with the lower shock setting for a new look. What have ya got to lose by trying it, as ya know it'll look better than it did previously. But, ya wanna consider upsizing to custom 18" rims, IMO. Now's the time to do it !!!

 

Just remember going with a lower profile (and not increasing the width) on your stock rim will increase your wheel gap making it not look lowered and it will throw your speedo off.

 

Yeah, as Fsttyms said......go with a wider tire .....or better yet, just upsize to 18's for the optimum best effect.
