Props thou, i think ur TL is very Unique
yea, its definitly a bit awkward. it needs a little more camber in the rear to tuck that tire, and more camber up front to more evenly match the rear.. unfortunatly my camber is maxed out all around

I know the feeling. That is exactly how i feel with my car. From the side the car does not flow well but from the front and rear angles the car flows more. i guess you cant have it all

thanks man, i REALLY appreciate this comment. its people like you that keep ppl like me pushing limits. so many ppl are too quick to judge...just because youre not a fan of negative camber doesnt mean you cant respect it. thats why we do this, to impress those who otherwise thought they would have never liked it. mad props to you for being a grown man.

Honestly mad props for pushing the limits. But you've pushed them too far, I'm sorry man, but it just doesn't look right. The fronts are on point though. If your rears matched the front it would be perfect. It just really looks off. Also not a fan of full face wheels. But again, its all my personal preferance and I'm entitled to it, as well as youre entitled to your own style.

But again, mad props for pushing the limits.

Love the look! A little too much (-) camber for my own taste but regardless I love the camber and the poke, that is a beautiful ass.

And damn Megans get you THAT low? Looks like you're on air... def gonna look into selling the tein basics and getting megans.

yezir, the reason i decided to stick with megans and not go air is because they can get me as low as full down with airrunner can, and i can also drive at this height. in the future, i may get a cup kit, but for now ill just avoid speedbumps im sure its possible to lay frame with air runner after some adjustments, and i have seen a tl laying frame on hydraulics, but megan gets you LOWW for much less, and with a stiffer ride. in that picture, the fronts have a little bit more thread left, and the rears are maxed out.

I dont think as low as air runners but quite close. With air runners i am tucking wheels and not tires. Here is the setup on stock wheels. If they didnt make a air kits for our cars than i would for sure be running megans. I am not trying to prove you wrong but just want other people to know that megans are a great alternative to getting low if you dont have the funds or desire to go with air.

ive always noticed that air runner seems to get the rear of your car REAL low. is the type S airrunner a different setup than the base? i dont think it is, but it, for some reason, seems lower than other TL's i have seen. i wish my megans would get me about 1/4" lower all around.

The other cars you see are either using the accord kits or the tsx kits. The kit for the TL was based upon my top hats for a direct drop in. Prior to that everyone had to use other kits. So i am glad to say that i have Air Runner TL kit serial # 0001.
