no worries bro, it won't be close. But i would like to emulate your drop, and the way that the front wheel snugs under is perfect.
i would have a wing, and probably different suspension depending on my research, and different wheels. But I would still go with 19's, and your same drop. They look great.
Thanks for advice,
Kristian.

How rough do the ksports ride? Where did you hear of them? I've never heard of the company prior to your thread.

Yeah I wasn't really concerened about the body kit portion of my car. There are thousands of TL's out there with the A-spec body kit (which IMHO is the better looking of the 2 kits available). I was more worried that it was gonna be the same car just different owners. I have had people try to copy previous cars of mine to a T and it just makes you say WTF. Is nobody original anymore? But, Now that I know he just wants the same drop and some 19's that's fine by me. I can't stop anyone that wants to copy the car though. I can however voice my opinion.
Thanks for the compliments. My K-sports ride really good. I think they are pretty damn smooth for having the spring rates they do (13k front and 7k rear). Here is pretty much my review on them https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...=116320&page=2 . They are the same manufacturer as D2 brand coilovers. However, they are different owners and companies built to different specs but they come out of the same plant.

Thanks. I think 19's are perfect. 18's look to small unless they are the factory A-spec wheels which look pretty good on the TL. However, every other set of 18's I have seen make the factory 17's look big. 20's are just too big IMHO. I got them from www.importhookup.com. Here is the actual link to these wheels. http://www.importhookup.com/forums/s...p?threadid=319

Thanks. Yeah I wanted it to be even or close to even at the fender wells which will give it the raked look because the fender wells in the rear are lower than those in the front. As for the spoiler yes I plan on getting a lip spoiler for it. However, who knows when that'll happen.

Honestly, pictures do Chris's car no justice. When you see his car in person, it's just stunning! BTW I own the 2G TL Type-S you see in the pictures

However, they're more of a black chrome painted finish. Oh well I still think that they look sick on my car.
