Cool Moar Low!! ( T3 Connection Beware!! )

Even though i told myself I wouldn't do it Lol. The problem was when the coilovers were first installed. I "kinda" went for a finger gap all around and than i remember that the front fenders were cut higher than the rear. Sooo the back of the car was actually much higher than the front. It Didn't look right. So i thought of just lowering the rear to kinda level it out..and the rest idk what happened lol. I lowered the front another .5" and the rear a full inch. First time adjusting coilovers on any car so if you guys notice anything let me know. I did take precise measurements and everything looked fine to me.
..I like the title LOL..

I like the look just as it is. If you go any lower, you're going to find yourself in trouble with NYC's famous "swallow the car" potholes. Enjoy your ride. Hy

Thanks guys and I'm not going any lower than this lol as for the Aspec kit i was thinking about waiting until the winter passes. In the meantime I'm thinking about working on the lighting part of the car. Clearing headlights, Matching HID fog lights. Leds in license plate and interior.

Thanks and I'm Afghan. I didn't know Armenians also used that name lol

Well, you made me take a second look; my initial impression was that it was like many other TLs which had been lowered. However, I see now that the rear camber is out of whack as well. So, I guess I'll just say - not my thing, but hope the OP enjoys it.

Thanks quanaman LOL...The ride is not too bad. It is noticeable over bumps tho and the car is more responsive on the highway when changing lanes.

Its not to bad..Just got back from NJ drove through the city..had no issues there..just kept it between 40-50 on the grand central by LGA where the nasty bumps are and it drove it fine....only issue i have is going up driveway or into parking lots. sometimes theres not enough room for you to drive at angle because the driveway is too narrow or there is always a car in the opposite lane waiting to get through..I do scrape that 2" piece here and there...
