Pic req: Tein Basics as low as possible

Does anyone have their TL lowered to the max with Tein Basics or Tein SS (assuming they provide identical height adjustments)?

I'd love to see a picture of a TL as low as possible.

Al-Thats not as low as Teins go, his wasn't down all the way, I know the rear isnt for sure.

Brian-yeah I'm tucking right now and I have ALOT more to go..I think at a certain point of lowness it starts looking bad though. Overdoing is never the key imo

oh no! my secret type s wheels exposed!!! damnit Al, lol jk


Ballin is right, that isn't the lowest YET, front still have about a good 1.5" of thread left, the rear have 1"

for some reason i can not max the rear, i think my rear passenger shock is blown or something, the rear passenger is MAXED while the rear driver have 1" left and they are a even drop....wacked....gotta contact tein or mrheeltoe about it:-x

I don't think I'm gonna spend money on coils anymore.

I'd probably spend more money on the car if it was a 6spd. New car probably some time near summer. Keeping the TL though, except it's gonna be our family car.

^Agreed. I'm not much of a fan of the staggered setup but on 808nighthawks it looks amazing!

When you are slammed that low on the SSs how is the ride? Will it limit the travel of the shocks? Will it bottom out easier?

I know on a stock shock it would definitely limit travel and bottom out easier but since the Teins are matched up they wouldn't allow the car to go to maximum drop without too many side-effects, am I right?

808, you did a front A-spec but no rear? Got to keep the mudflaps on huh?

Yeah. I'm not really a fan of the base aspec rear on NPB. What I really want is the Type-S aspec w/ quads.

spontaneous down pours is normal so i figured i wouldn't say it. hawaii sucks cuz it's hard to drive in, the roads are horrible, everything is one way streets almost, crowded, it's dirty, what makes it different from where i live? lol. hawaii is only good if you like to relax and do nothing.... i think i just like the city life more...you know? smog...traffic....road rage....etc....lol.
