Looks great! This is probably the 4th or 5th NBP + Raven Inspyre combo I've seen in the past few months.

not sure i want to drop it. i had a mitsu galant that was lowered with progress springs. it was the first time that i had experienced that kind of ride. ppl told me it was normal to feel more of the road because the car is lower to the ground....i didnt like the way it felt at all

anyway, yeah things worked out great....You and Ron were very helpful and I appreciate the time you guys took with answering my questions.

Best wheels for this car IMO!! Even without the drop it looks hot, it will look awesome with a drop!! How's the ride? And any reason you didn't go with the 245 rubber instead of the 235?

I wasn't going to mention it but I think I should do so now. In one month we will have the 19" x 8.5" Inspyre in LIQUID GRAPHITE, no machined face. Its gonna have a slightly darker finish and look a bit sporty. Maybe you should check those out...

BTW, those 235/35/19 tires make the Inspyres look like dang 20" wheels, nice.

^^I probably should have mentioned that in my initial post. Seems to be quite a popular combination. But, for some reason, the pictures posted above make those the Inspyres look much better compared to the other pictures I've seen. I'm actually quite surprised they look so good even without the drop. Great job

Maybe its the black lug nuts, the 235 tires and the lighting.

yeah, i got the black lugs from lugshack. Thanks for all the feedback. I knew i wanted the black on black look. it made my passat look so aggressive, but elegant at the same time......and after looking at Hardtimes car and 07_TL_Type_S' car, i knew i needed to look no further. i am very pleased with how everything turned out

in illinois, its actually illegal to tint the front windows....everybody does it anyway, so i figured i would not go tooo dark. I wanted the 20%, but the interior helps to make it look darker, so i'm happy

Yeah i wouldnt say mine look better than others who have the same setup. lighting has a lot to do with taking pictures. hell, a few of those shots arent as clear as they could be anyway.

def dropping it would make the whole car sooooo much sleaker. the TL has a nice ride, drop it an inch and it will still be good.

i had progress springs on my last car and they were awesome. i use to have an accord and people would not believe how good the ride was when i told them it was lowered. cars react differently to the same brand of springs....

neway, i have the tein h-techs. it doesnt drop the car as much as the s-techs and IMO its perfect. it has a lot better ride then the s-techs and its still very comfortable. on a nice car, the car can be dropped too low and it wont look luxurious nemore. i like it when the wheels circumference has the same spacing in the fender all around and the h-techs are good for that.

Car looks REAL nice man, how do those tints effect the heat on the inside on a sunny day?

How easy is it to look out when its really dark?
