I was about 2 threads from max on the fronts for a while, but ive raised it up due to rubbing top of fender on any decent bump.

Here is what it was.




Now (on winter wheels)




I think there are alot lower than me though.

I sure wouldn't want to have a DD slammed way down. Lowering the ride height too much, drastically changing the OEM designed susp geometry will have adverse effect on handling. Even with the alignment settings corrected.

I'd rather have better handling than a "cool" looking slammed car. Don't get me wrong, I love the look, my TL is dropped a decent amount.

More pics. That WDP is hot.

When I first installed my Tein SS i went almost all the way down, it was pretty low...I don't think i'd ever go lower or drive around like that, esp in the city.

High Disk (High Brake Clearance) - small wheel lips

Low Disk (Low brake clearance) - fat lip

Super low disk (Low brake clearance) - mmmm.. deep dish pizzas

for people with brembos, rotoras, project mus, and other bbk's they would most likely opt for the high disk, BUT then theres always other modes of wheel fitment such as spacers, stretched tires, neg camber, rolled/pulled/flared fenders

Unless u go single digit offsets you'll get tiny lips. prolly 2" up front and 3.5" rear if ur in the 20's. Go with 9 up front and 10 in the rear with 20's offset. super low disk since you have a base for max lips. you'll prolly have about 3" up front and 4" in the back. Or since you claim u wanna run stretched tires and neg camber (just roll/pull ur fenders while your at it) then you can 9 up front and 10 in the rear with offsets ranging 10-15mm ull have FATTIE lips.

my only concern is how am i gettin the extra camber in the rear..kits only go to -2 that i see? and in the front i dont want extreme camber, just something slight..so i was thinkin 19x9 with a uppers 20s offset and a 19x10 lower 20s offset...how does that sound?

Lowering is a sickness...lol. All cars look great, but I would have a hard time dealing with speedbumps/etc with them that low. I'm sure my tein ss's won't even be all the way down.
