Tein Coilovers & BBS Wheels installed!!
installed my Tein Basic Coilovers this past weekend-- w/ the help of my buddy Angel, after we were done he mentioned his 17x8 BBS Wheels might fit the TL. So we did.

Looks pretty sick IMO.

Rear is Lowered all the way, Front is raised slightly because of wheel rub.

Damn, that's the rear all the way down? Thought it would be more, but looks good nonetheless. Evo BBS look good btw

Car is looking pretty tight bro. So since those are your friends wheels, are you gonna be rockin the stockies? Stockies look sick when you are dropped that low. Nice job!

PEACE!

If you are going to keep the BBS wheels, IMO, get some spacers on all four corners.

Handling around corners is nice. Not too bumpy either.

I like em.. Awesome for the price!

^^ I'll take your wheels then!!

HAHA


I didnt swap the TPMS Sensors, so I'm getting that TPMS Error. But its not that bad.

I just wish I could disable this, w/o having to cut a wire.
