Deep's drop

I'm just sitting here at the shop getting my alignment done. Thought I would post a quick pic of the new drop. Any guesses on what springs I'm sitting on? Go ahead, bash me for not getting coilovers. I fart in your general direction.

Indeed S.techs. I originally wanted these then switched my thinking to Eibach. Then I figured eibach would leave me wanting to go lower so I just went with Tein. I like it a lot so far. New dampers will come later.

Def looking good. I was just starring at my yesterday, and wishing I could just fill that gap between the fender and rim for now.

Hows the ride? I really like how my type s rides, so idk if I want to mess with just the springs.

The ride is very similiar to stock. It does not make it the ride stiff at all. I honestly did not feel a performance uprgade as far as body roll and handling go. These seem just for looks...And I like it

Here are a few moar pics, sorry all from my phone..





I have before and after pics if anyone is interested...

Your picture quality is good!

Much better quality than a lot of members shots here.

It's all about the S-Tech's! Good choice of spring. I've been very happy with them for the two years I've had mine on my UA6. It's the perfect height for everyday driving.

Much appreciation, I guess 8 megapixels on a phone aint bad. I still want a new camera to capture all the light I can. Thanks again

2 years on stock shocks? That would b nice. I barely had to change my everday driving habits.

CBP TL-S is sick...love that color. Drop looks good man, you should be fine on stock shocks (according to Tein anyway). I've got the H-techs on mine, like them a lot!

Wow, drop looks great. Its a perfect drop IMO.

Okay ...newbie question. If your still under warranty, would installing aftermarket springs or shocks void it?

I understand that this thread has been inactive for 7 years and the OP hasn't logged in since 2014. But maybe someone else can answer my question. I am going to a similar look as the OP, I am currently running the same wheel/tire setup as the OP on stock suspension.I will be upgrading my suspensions with Koni yellows and lowering springs(H&R Race Spec or Tein S Tech, not sure yet). With this setup, will I need to roll/pull my fenders? Other than shocks and springs, should I upgrade anything else within the suspensions?. I have read that when lowering our vehicles, some other parts will need replacement afterward. Just want to do it right the first time.

Thank you

With just the suspension change, you won't need to roll fenders. If you decide to add spacers or get aftermarket wheels that are wider and/or have a more aggressive offset, then you might need to roll.

You may want to consider aftermarket rear camber arms and new upper control arms for the front so you can keep your alignment in check. They're not absolutely necessary, but certainly help with alignments.

Thank you for your response. What brand would you recommend for the rear camber arms and upper control arms?...BTW Nice S2K you got there.
