i like my setup with a 1 inch drop all around with the eibach pro kit and installed koni yellows that are set on the bottom perch to give it another 1/2 inch drop.

Id say around 1 1/2 to 2 inches. I'd suggest coilovers and not just "springs". Go with the Tein Basic or SS

Also black out your headlights as that will make a world of a difference

Slvrac, I like the look. The wheels and the rims are a great combination. Plus, I like the black lip of the Aspec nose.

If those are the MRR GT1's then you have some nice taste in rims...just sold mine about a month ago. Black always look good on silver. Keep up the good work.

mmmm, rims on your TL looks mighty familiar....oh right i bought those off you FYI: i'm gettting overwhelming amount of "love" from all commenting on the Axis Hieros!! I highly recommend anyone in the market for a fresh look investigate AXIS wheels (no, i don't work 4 the company).

Scotty boy, u sure didn't waste any time parlaying for outside advice. i told you those rims are a great addition to your setup wat happened yesterday is all water under the bridge and i hope everything works out 4 you in the end.

just remember, when i had those on my car, i was dropped 1" around sitting on eibachs. cambers installed for the rear suspension, end result was PERFECT drop ratio in the bac but IMO not enough in the front. (i all ready told u about the possible rubbing w/ passengers in the bac seat...) if i had the luxury to have at it again, like mentioned above, Tein SS FTW!! (expensive) or if you must 1.5"-2" front and 1"-1.25" rear (fenders rolled) springs.

shoot me an email regarding to what exactly was the problem w/ the rims that you later find a solution for.
