Appreciate all the love :)

Got a few questions im thinking about lowering it I have tried many lowering springs and I havent found one that has the same smoothness that the factory ones do, I want to get a complete kit Springs struts camber all.. Do you think that would be smart, or do you think I should get just the springs "good kind" I want to lower it 2 inches all around or maybe more in the front... I have tried Skunk 2, H& R eibach and a few more but I wasnt too happy.. any suggestions? thank you.

You should go with coilovers if you want to go that low, springs that low will cause premature wear of the shocks. I have some Tein HTech springs that I have for sale which give about an inch drop all around

hmmm

thats really tempting but I can still see a pretty big gap between the tires, damn man i want it to ride really smooth and low lower am i asking for too much Hmm are those better than h & r were they causing wear on your tires.. without cambers? I might get them i just need to look around need to see more pictures of people posting lowered tls and see which ones look best. thanks though

Welcome to the BEST club around! NBP RULEZ!

First things:

Tint the tails
Paint the grille
Drop it

Enjoy our SUPERIORITY over all the others!

I'm dropped on Eibach's, and put about 7000 miles with NO abnormal tire wear, and with 245/40/18's, the drop looks pretty good. I won't chance going lower here in the Motor City.

No camber kits, and the Eibach Pro's go about 1".
