Post your A-Spec suspension with 19s

I'm looking for pictures of A-Spec suspension and 19" wheels. I already have the suspension. Please include the width was well. Thanks

Some of you may find this useless but I'm not looking to change my suspension when I upgrade my wheels, but stance is 100% what I'm looking for. If the 19s raise the car or give it a bad looking fit with this suspension I'd like to see before hand.

Some of you must have 19s..

I run 19's just not with the aspec suspension. I have Koni sp3 shocks with Eibach springs.

thats so rediculous, people here in norfolk VA do the same kinda shit (not that extreme) biggest i've seen is 28s, seen those exact same rims on the same car (not lifted, and 24s i believe) same color and everything...

all i can say is

i was talking about how i hate to see all these 22-26 inch rims (on any car really) on caprice's, impalas.. crown vics, he got so upset he wants me to race his 95 impala SS with 24s on it now (i had no idea he was one of those people)

pretty funny shit

I upgraded from Aspec to Tein SS. I felt Aspec wasn't much of a drop. I'm on 19's too.

19's are the new 17's...at least that's what Jay Z tells me. lol.

Nice car. How low do you have the springs in the picture? Could you set them to 1.3" low and take a picture possibly?

Looks good. I'm on 18s currently. I can't go much lower than the A-Spec suspension based on shitty Canadian roads and parking lots, but if we had good roads I'd be slammed. My A-Spec lip already has scrapped. I also can't go with 20s because of the roads and flat spots. So it's either 18s or 19s.

Could you possibly set your suspension to 1.3"?

Those pics would be with about 1.25 ins of drop. The Koni sp3 kit is adjustable 1\4 in incriminates.

THANKS VERY MUCH!
About the wheels...19's are what I have...I wouldn't recommend 20's. ESPECIALLY if you've got bad roads. Aspec suspension will do just fine, although I'm a bit of a "drop snob" when it comes to the perfect stance. lol.

I just got my alignment and would be leary of changing my suspension right now, can't be MUCH of a gap at 1.3" though.

Good luck!

we have even more shitty roads here in chicago and i too was worried about going to low so i opted for the a-spec suspension. go it and loved it but the drop wasnt enough for me. got the neuspeed supercup kit and im as low as i can go with an even stance on 19s. ive been to toronto (driven my car there a cpl times) and i believe if you wanna go lower, you can and should. sorry, i dont have any pics, just thought i would offer you that small bit of experience/advise

19's - A-Spec shocks and S.Tech springs. If that counts.

Thanks for the replies. 08-Aspec - do you have a photo with brighter lighting? Car looks good. Thread served it's purpose and I'm looking for 19s now.

Yeah you're spot on. The thing is, the car came with this suspension and I'm pretty cheap. New suspension is a lot for minor performance upgrade and looks. Trust me the old Teg literally couldn't enter most parking lots it was so low and speed bumps or pot holes were hideous, plus had a stage 5 clutch and no power steering (because it had 400+WHP without a good tune). Lowest car I've seen that wasn't bagged... K-Sport full coilovers, holes cut in the strut towers so it could go as low as it is without the front upper control arms banging all the time.

Now if the TL was a car that I could store in the winter, I would be willing to fork out the extra to lower it. I just hate buying nice parts and see them be used in salt and snow.

Hillarious, OP asks for A-spec and everyone posts everything but A-Spec.

^^^True, but that should say something.
Actually, come to think of it, the fact that everyone has come on and said they HAD Aspec and were not happy with the drop...speaks volumes.

Sorry, back on topic.

it really depends on the profile of the tires. 19x10 with a 235/35 tire is almost the same diameter as my stocks with tires.

lol at this thread

op id say look for any car with stock suspension and 19's and imagine it 1inch or however much the aspec drops it lower.


but i would really suggest buying a set of coilovers that way you can really set your stance the way you like, you can raise it in the winter, slam it whatever you want, you will not regret the decision to do coilovers my tl is my first car i have ever put suspension on, suspension will now be the first thing i do to any car in the future
