Even lowered or not, they look fantastic. Lowering is icing on the cake...good icing too, not the cheap icing that tastes gross...anyway... great pictures guys. Wilzrsx, yours looks great too

It does make a huge difference. Look at my thread, page 28 was the height I put it at initially, about a 1.5" drop, page 35 is where is sits now, about a 2" drop. I was being harassed to go lower lol.

When I'm done here you'll be pissed off and have a locked thread.

So...about that...when are you buying coils Chris? I would like to see that sexy blue TL slammed at next years national meet!

Car is looking really good man! You have to do an epic photoshoot when it gets dropped. You got some serious camera skills. I would update the site and the FB fan page with your pics that way. Or at least photoshop the drop in the current pics, lol.

Awesome pictures! God I love KBP

Do you edit the pictures at all? They are crazy saturated.

Nice new shots Chris...very slick. Those wheels are so dope! I won't be taking many pics of my car anytime soon...got rear ended (luckily it was minor) and pushed into the car in front of me this past Monday down in Parker So obviously my car isn't up to show standard at this point. Waiting to get the insurance stuff finalized with the person at fault so I can get it in the shop & have the front bumper & rear aspec & bumper fixed up a bit. Little scratches & dings mostly, but it needs to be refinished. Planning on painting the gray plastic inserts on the Aspec lips gloss black as well, just an additional touch

Let us know what you decide on for the suspension when the time comes

I like the wheels a lot.. I have the same car and didn't think color matched wheels would look good but I stand corrected. Really like the headlights and calipers, too. Good job

nice looking KBP!

any way you could post better pics of the color matched headlights?
Really want some inspiration for this, I'm thinking just match the rings around HID and DRL…
It's hard to decipher from your pics, I'd greatly appreciate it!

BTW a drop makes a hella difference, it was the first thing I did. Stock just looks wrong afterwards.

Oh yeah one more thing… what paints/setup did you use for your homegrown color matching?

Below are the best pics I could find for the headlights. I had my headlights done by JnC here on Azine, and I am pretty sure he used the KBP color code to order paint for them. Also, I used G2's Brake caliper kit (which you order custom colors using the paint code) to match the calipers. Website for them is here: http://www.g2usa.com/product/G2.html.

Finally Lowered! Actually a different setup than I posted earlier. I am dropped on Tein H-Tech Springs and Tokico HTS shocks. Car looks and feels like a whole different animal. Absolutely love it. Wish I would have done it earlier.

Thanks Will for helping me install and hooking me up

Picture Time!

no problem man, definitely looks better

you just need to watch out for certain speed bumps and curbs since you're no longer 4x4, LOL.

I'm still surprised you had no seized bolts anywhere and we did the install under 3 hours, really smooth install compared to mine.
