TL-S sitting on Tein SS riding on Forgestar
I've got the coilovers installed and gave her a nice drop. I like to thank my cousins for a nice install job. Here are a few pics from the droid. I'll take better pics when I get the chance. I like the 2nd picture.

I would have bought the gun metal color if my car was darker. So no I will not be painting the rims. I like how the silver looks.

Take pics of your car when it's not on an incline...the front looks too high. I see wheel gap! Lol

Seriously tho it looks good OP. Nice job.

The ride quality is pretty amazing, not stiff at all. I am set at 7 or 8 clicks on the damper. I was riding pretty low in the front and it did rub so I raised it bit. I'm going to have run some trial and error to figure out the height for front.

Yeah front is a tiny bit higher than the rear right now due to rubbing. I'm still playing around with the height. The rear is rolled so I don't have issues there. I'll probably have to roll the front as well.

Looks perfect SS!









Don't tell Tyler, but I think the Type S looks better without the Aspec Kit....you're golden, as is.

19x9 +25 all around. The rear is very flush. The front pokes out just a tiny bit but hard to tell though.

Nice, I have 19x8.5 +26 front and 19x9 +20 in the rear. I'm throwing on a 5mm spacer in the rear soon.

Oh yeah I saw that pic you posted. Ouch! I've been very careful with parking these days but we all know we will curb it one day no matter how careful we are. Hey I got that front drilled and slotted rotors installed on mine. So far so good.
