Not really. A lip spoiler would be nice but meh

I want MOAR LOW. I think my car would look 100 times better if it was tucking tire all around. Take off the spacers and go HELLAsunk.

A lip spoiler would look great. What about a roof spoiler? I'm thinking about changing mine to a different style...if I take mine off, you want it?

Hella flush + modest ride height or hella sunk + tucking tire.....such a hard choice. First thing you need is coilovers, then you can go back and forth as you please.

I've thought about a roof spoiler but still not sure.

I may be getting a job here on campus and if I get it, ALL of that money will be put towards coils

That would be ideal. I think ditching my 15/20mm spacers for 10mm all around would help me dump the car on the ground with no issues.

If I go lower, I'll have to get adjustable ball joints for the front. I don't have any way of adjusting camber up front and I'm already running about -1.5 degrees.

The problem with coils is that I know I'll want wheels once I slam it

You'd be surprised how happy you'll be when you get your coils...you'll probably be even happier with your aspecs than you are now.

Need I remind you?
20MM rear/10MM fronts...235 tires, almost all the way down on the TEIN SS...if you want real slammage, go directly for the F&F's or HT Spec etc...






oh oh oh...don't like pics of other members' cars in your thread?!?! TOO EFFIN BAD!!!

As long as no one quotes your pictures, I don't mind

I want the top of the fender to sit at the top of the wheel. There was a slammed 07-08 TL on Satin Silver A-Specs in Texas that looked fucking sick.

As for tire wear, I don't drive nearly as much as I used to, so I won't be going through tires as often.

Aman, honestly, the car is surprisingly VERY driveable...the most annoying thing is scraping the bottom of the front lip, but I don't see it anyway. I can't fathom being any lower though.

J.

Tyler, I know man, was just messing with you...you'd be just fine. I have the upper camber adjustment all around...and I am within spec for camber with the way I sit. Your car would look amazing with the aspecs slammed a bit more. BUT, to be honest, your car looks awesome as it sits now too.

I hope I can make it happen

I'm meeting the boss man at 2:15. It's at the bookstore which isn't amazing but isn't terrible either. I can walk there from my apartment! No gas ftw.

I highly doubt he will care about the plate, or better yet the car

I don't walk up to people and say "Hey I'm Tyler, I have a Acura TL"

We will see how it goes. I'm taking two summer classes so I need something to do when I'm not in class. Might as well make some moola.

I would rather have bags

The exterior is always clean. The inside is meh. It's not terrible, there's nothing inside except a sunshade, but the dash is dirty. People don't see that and if they do, fuck em

Plus, then if/when it does crack, you'll never know it!

Hey hey hey, this dash WILL NOT crack. If it ever does, I'll go fucking nuts. It was such a hassle to have it replaced.

Too fit the spacers in the rear did you guys roll your rear fenders fully and in being that low what is your camber in the rear set at ?

^^^it's different for everyone, man...set it where you like the height, get the fenders rolled, then see how much space you have for a spacer.

Tyler, no kidding, forgot you had to replace the dash already...if I even knew it!

I was dropped before I got spacers. When I thought about getting spacers, I went ahead and got my fenders rolled just to be safe.

^^^ I agree with JER....

every car is different, with a drop you throw you camber and toe off....you might wanna get a camber kit to get your TOE in spec else you will be getting tires every 20K miles....

about how much the rear camber is set, defines the "stance" if you will.....if you are at -4 you will be at a very very noticeable stance....~-2 is mild but still there

finally about spacers....what Rocky said....drop it, align it....depending on how much flush you want it, get spacers....if you want it sticking further out, then roll your fenders !!!

What they have said....I had spacers before a drop and had to remove them when i lowered the car....until I rolled my fenders.

Spacers are 15mm up front and 20mm rear...camber set at -.5 front / -1.5 rear

Have enough room now, tires only rub up front on steep inclines/dips while turning in. Ground to fender height is at 24.5" all around
