Nice set-up, the tuck looks killer.

thanks !

The wheels are AS2222 old ace wheels he was selling little while back.
F 19x8.5 +38 & R 19x9.5 +38

planning to put 5mm kics spacers in the front and 10mm in the rear and camber the rear more to clear the +28 offset

Austin u have way more aggressive wheels now! im jealous lol, thats why i want kics spacers, next near ill get some real JDM bling wheels something u would see on a Junction Produce car!

oh and the Megans are great, stiffer than stock but great! the ability to independently adjust height and spring preload are awesome and 32 ways of damping is always a +

The wheels and suspension look great. The more TL's i see with mesh-style wheels the more i like them. Was it necessary to roll the fenders with only a +38 offset? I 'm asking because those all similar specs of the wheels i want.

Set up looks fantastic! Did you have to roll the fronts as well as the rears?

Great tuck!

yea for the price megan is

i mean same thing as Mono Flex (mono tube design) damper, with more damping lvls 32 instead of teins 16. and its HALF the price of Mono Flex MSRP'd at 1710 on teins website. ( not to mention Flex or Mono Flex isn't even designed for a 3rd gen TL )

Basic and Super Steet are only Spring preload height adjustable

Late response lol i was reading your post and that just came to my head

Sweet!


and lights VIP is um.......a culture, most VIP cars start with proper Platform which is like a Nissan Cima or President , Toyota Aristo, Celsior.
its a gangster/ luxury styling.... Low and Wide... super low with Super Aggressive offset wheels, super stretched tires (think 225 on a 10 inch wheel) Minimal exterior mods, maybe just a kit that accentuates the existing body lines. minimal engine work, alot of attention to detail interior wise, thats where u see those curtains, and the Kintsuna and Fusa i want to get, luxury woodgrain interior etc..... thats a quick crash course in Bippu styling.

and the Kintsuna is that pretzel rope thing is at least $100 retail and the Fusa tassel is around $50...... or if u feel cheap go to Joannes and buy some rope tassel stuff and do it yourself for like a1/10 of the cost LOL

vipTL - How are the Megan coilovers treating you? Deltaboxxx seems to like them and isn't having issues but a second opinion is always good. Have you rode in a TL with Tein SS's? Comparison?

I'm getting ready to order coilovers tonight, either the Tein SS or Megans. Right now I'm leaning towards the Megans since they are obviously a better deal. I'm just curious how the quality and longevity are though.
