This looks clean. I like. I have a soft spot for stock wheels......not sure why. I just wish they were 18's.

This is how mine looked a year ago.......





Doesn't really look like that now. Drop is H&R Race Springs and Tokico HP struts. This was they day after I dropped it. They settled a little more.

how did you darken your headlights? and how did you pant the grill?? that really sets off the front end ive been looking for a way to darken it up

ive noticed tl's are not very DIY friendly when it comes to lighting and such

sorry just had to post this

A little lower would look great, but this ride height has been beneficial for my daily driver (I'm not having to avoid most speed bumps), so I'm happy. I have thought about adding some spacers for a more aggressive and flush look, but I haven't pulled the trigger on it.

I'm running on S-Techs with Tokico HP struts and shocks.

Tein SS with 1/2" left to lower.. Rides great on stockies.. More info on my car can be found here, the link shows my progress of my car over the past 2 years.. 10 pages of good reading haha. .and dont forget to leave a comment! .. https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/bzyrices-progress-thread-updates-page-15-3-13-13-a-715481/

i really dont think ill be happy with anything but tein ss..may have to hold off on the other mods to really get the look i want

you might want to look into Megans. Alot of other members are running them and they like the ride as well, and it also goes way lower than tein's but that is just another option you can go

Everything on the car I've done myself. They're just as DIY friendly as any other car.

There are DIY's for blacking out the headlights. You have to heat them up in the oven, pry them apart, paint them and put them back together. Pretty easy.


Or Deep Green Pearl........

I Fly STi

man that is looooooww!!

I Fly STi

how would the stock struts hold out on s techs??
im thinking of getting the springs and when the struts start to go out ill deal with that when the time comes...

bzyrice

iTrader: (10)

They will be fine.. as long as you dont drive crazy.. But with the stechs you will be nowehere close to how low my car is or decafe1.. I thought you wanted to go low? If you want to go low.. coilovers or air ride is the only way to go.. Save up your money!!

Red Voodoo

Some members have kept the OEM struts with performance springs with some success. Since I didn't want to rip everything apart again if I gambled and lost, I chose to just install new shocks at the same time. If you can do the work yourself and don't mind the labor, then I say take the shortcut and just check the condition of the struts and shocks on a routine basis for leaks and such.

I'm very happy with the S-Techs. The ride hasn't changed much from stock specs, and I was able to eliminate most of the annoying wheel gap that plagues most cars. Highly recommended!

I Fly STi

i keep swaying back and forth haha..i just need to keep researching at this point..thanks for all the help so far guys..i will start the cheap mods such as clearing the lights and debaging soon

I'm running TEIN S-Techs on stock shocks. I'll be getting coilovers once the shocks blow. Keep in mind that I'm on 18" A-Spec wheels, not 17" stockies.
