Decided to go lower..


Theres not much left to roll on front & I've seen TL ride this low but my front tires slice when doing full radius turns, it looks like its from where the fender ends & meets the bumper, I think i should trim it off, what do you guys think?

Woke up, went outside & said, "Damn this b*itch is low". Im going to have to bring it up some, its way too low.
^^flip_side thx man & I'm on F&Fv1, got a really good deal including labor so I jumped on it, I was in the market for Tein SS's or Megans but I don't regret going this route. Does anyone have pics of the part you dremel off?

I don't understand why you'd go that low. That's crazy.

Im with the guys that think its too low, I seriously rethreaded the coil about an inch and did not expect to go this low. Its fathers day weekend so I promise the kids ill leave the car alone, & now they are adding AZINE to the list. Its still slammed sitting in front of the house, neighbors are funny. Here's a pic from diff angle.

How do the guys dropped like this prevent front tires from slicing ? What part needs to be removed or cut? I seen guys dropped this low around here that are daily drive , or do they let the tire shave until it clears contact from the vehicle?

Help me understand, OP. You're saying you agree with the guys who say it's too low but at the same time, you're asking what needs to be cut / trimmed off to keep it this low. Just what exactly are you going for? Like it was said, this would make sense with hellaflush, but just screams riced TL for a daily driver.
