Yes it will be dropped. I ordered the RV6 V3 j pipe from HeelToe, waiting for that to arrive, then its coilover time lol. The tires are wicked dusty, and I need to clean them. Just went and got a bunch of cleaning products for inside and out. 5mm spacers for the rear have been ordered. It will look legit soon enough, same for my hatch next to it, have shock/spring setup for that too, waiting to go in. Im in a wheelchair or else I would have done all this already lol

And for you guys saying stocks, those are going to be my winter wheels, they are beat up, this is technically my daily. I think the previous owner tried to hit every curb he could.

I like it. Just needs a drop, and something done to darken the front grill a little bit. Toning down the wheels makes the grill stand out even more on NBP.

The SE37's are pretty badass. They're rare, expensive, forged and made by Volk. I'm surprised at all the negative comments. I think the pictures are just not flattering to the wheels/car and don't do it justice. Post some pics in better light straight on from the side. Make the pics emphasize the wheels, not the tires...

Yeah I want to plasti dip the grill, just cant make my mind up on just the center bar, or the whole thing, leaving the "A" chrome. Then do I black the headlights? I just havent really decided where I want to end up.

I got these off my buddy who had them on his 2010 STi, so thats the reason it has the 'beefy' tires. I do think I will do 235/40 for when it needs tires. These are such a HUGE improvement over the LingLong tires, its amazing. LingLongs may just well be made of cement lol

Yeah I know I need better pictures, I was using my old point and shoot, just in my parking lot. Once the drop is done, my same friend I bought the wheels from, happens to be a photographer, and wanted first dibs at shooting it lol. Just got my j pipe today, so I can now look for coilovers...

Your TL is begging for an Aspec Kit or an Aspec front lip.

Looks much better with the drop. I'm not in love with those wheels, but it's not my car. Enjoy.

I have the Form Function Type 2 HT Spec V2. Have to say the ride is very good for coilovers, no crazy bouncing all over. I would suggest these to anyone with a TL. Also did the TLS rear sway, Hawk Cermaic pads, Powerslot rotors, 1x3, and K&N filter at the same time, I love the car now.

Yeah I thought of that, and I like the look, but far too many people do that. I would rather wait till I find a 6MT TLS for that lol. Wish I could go lower on this, but I need to roll the front fenders still, and I already scrape a little coming into my driveway. Having the tint redone will be my next venture.
