Hi All,

i have searched high and low to find out if the 3G TL will still fall within factory spec in the toe department after lowering the car. How low can you go for the toe to start to going out of spec meaning there's no more room for adjustment to get it into spec

You'll find the camber will be the problem as the car is lowered and as there is no adjustment for camber, the tires wear quickly. Lower the car and buy the Ingalls rear camber kit 2 bars each side) and you'll have the ability to get the car within specs. Drop it too low and you be adding a front camber kit.

the toe is what wears the tires faster than camber.

Only if it's out of spec, but with toe it's adjustable, camber isn't, so tires will wear from our of spec camber providing the toe is set correctly.
