My baby finally got dropped!

I finally got around to taking some updated pictures of my '07 TL-S with it's new drop. The suspension that I went with was the Neuspeed Supercup Kit with the sport springs. Marcus was a huge help from Heeltoe!

Personally, I think it sits perfect and have received numerous compliments already on the new look!

At the same time having the suspension put on I added the Skunk2 front camber kit, the Ingalls rear camber kit, and the Progress RSB. Wow! What a difference everything made. I am sure it was even that more drastic because I did everything at once.

I included a few before & after shots. So what does everyone think?

Ahhhh...the clean engine bay!


She looks sooo pretty sitting in the driveway!

The rear is set on the first perch, and the front on the second.

Thanks, no rubbing at all!

The ride is pretty much what I expected. It's a little stiffer than stock (there's no way around that really) but it still rides nice! I'm happy with it, but I just have to be careful about scraping now!!

No, not bouncier at all. You can just feel the bumps in the road a bit more basically on in town driving. Nothing horrible though. I am already pretty much used to it now. On the highway, there's really no difference at all other than better handling. And yes, you can adjust the dampning.

I would highly recommend this kit to anyone looking for a nice drop without going too extreme. If you're interested in purchasing I would also recommend Marcus with Heeltoe Automotive. He's a vendor on Acurazine, so look him up if you like.

I've thought about the aspec many times, but I just don't know if I'm that in love with it yet. The only real difference to me is the front lip; it gives it a little more aggresive look. The sides and rear don't do all that much for me; there's very little difference in the stock TL-S parts.

Isn't that always the question!
I'm thinking probably some new rims/wheels to use for Summer only, and then I'll turn the stockies into Winter rims.
