Finally done!

Just got done installing my coilovers. Function & Form Type 1 cause I know people will ask. Installing was a breeze, adjusting them was a beezy. Only have a few pictures, lmk what you guys think!

ok now the pics show up...holy crap that is lowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww! plus u have a lip kit all around omg you are crazy. one thing to consider though, when you lower your car that much it puts a lot of stress on the axles because the cv joints need to be constantly bent at an angle.

haha wow this seems like a fickle crowd! some would complain he didnt go low enough if he was half an inch higher. too low and no one likes it. i do like the look it gives the car when its slammed like that but i would never go that low personally. i would be afraid to drive the damn thing! either way, clean Type-S and i am loving the A Spec front! will definitely be my first major mod after, ironically, lowering haha

WAY too low. Take them off and sell em. It would look 10x better stock, not to mention all the money youll spend due to issues you will now have because of it...IMO

Maybe too low for others, but damn it looks great! maybe not drivable for me, but if you can handle it, good.

You mentioned that installation was easy, did you installed it in your garage? More details on the installation / adjustment part, please.

About the interior pic: what the shadow reads? fatface?

I would personally never have my car that low because but I LOVE the look.

And if you don't know, the interior pic is because of the fatlace shadow on the headrest.

Way to low, the TL is a sports, but classy car. This totally takes that part away from it. Still, it's your car, enjoy it your way!!

Toooooo low, but you'll find out soon enough. I've got half the drop with springs, and I'm running into issues with my A-spec lip and the curb to my driveway. Love the car, tho...
