I love the way suspension always makes the rims look a little bigger...

Dropped cars = hard one!

Was this pre- or post-alignment? I've got my S-Tech springs sitting on my dining room table waiting for the Tokico HP shocks from Excelerate.com, which are on backorder apparently. I'm wondering how the added negative camber will look with stock wheels. I'm hoping to avoid a camber kit if at all possible. It is my understanding that as long as the toe is adjusted correctly, the abnormal negative camber will not cause excessive wear as long as tire rotations are done in a timely matter...

I know some of you guys rolling slammed will disagree, but running over 2 inches dropped is very inconvenient and can restrict where you can go. A subtle drop is better for a daily driver, IMO of course.

Looks good, any info on what others have asked camber kit, ride(how bouncy is it), alignment? Considering going with this look for a while got a kid on the way and the TL is looking alright i guess for just having the windows tinted.
