Tein SS on '06 WDP TL

Just got my Tein SS installed on my WDP. Took about 3 hours to do. Overall, the handling feels alot better then the stock ones.

Gorgeous! The drop has to be one of the best mods. After market wheels are great, but the drop makes the stock wheels look much better.

Yeah I'd agree as well. I was looking at some A-spec wheels and they go for quite a bit.

Don't quote me on that, it might just be that they got the wrong offset or something? haha, OH and I just thought of another TL with those on!

Hmm those aren't Varianzas. He says they are Exel? As I'm reading the manual, I still don't know how to figure out how much the drop is?

Ok then I might be right the first time? PM "UA6Spec" and ask him about it. He has tried out his friend's work varianzas.

Lol yeah, I thought 3 hours was long. :lol: It feels low as hell. Some people are telling me to raise it back up a little. Yeah, probably will do this weekend or maybe labor day weekend when I'm free.

The gap on the front and rear of the wheel is huge.

Looks sweet man!!! Didn't take so long. Coilovers are much easier to install than springs & shocks since they are already put together! (And shorter vs. OEM. Not so dang hard to fit the whole assembly up in the wheel well, lol)

I was noticing that too. Maybe just the angle of the picture? Although, that's what can happen when you lower a vehicle so much. I assume he hasn't gotten it aligned yet? I wonder if the control arms can be adjusted to pull the wheel back center...

Thanks bro. I haven't got it aligned yet, but going to do so this weekend or labor day. Felt like it took forever to install

As I last remember, my friend said it was about 4 inches from the ground? Hmm as for as checking just make sure all the bolts are in place and drive it around to see how it feels.
