I am going to get the Tein SS coilovers and lower my car about 1.2" F&R and level it. The Tein SS can lower the car from 0.9"-2.5". And has 16 levels of damping from soft to firm. I can get the Tein SS installed out the door for $1440. I have 245/35/19" tires on 19"x8" wheels, RonJon Liquid Graphite Legends now. I WANT GOLD VOLK GT-S wheels, but they will have to wait BIG $$$. You can also go with 235/35/19" tires but I prefer the 245. Its a little wider and taller to fill the wheelwell. Offset of the wheels you want is also VERY important when lowering. The RJ wheels I have are +32mm offset. The Volks I want will be +36mm which would tuck the wheel in a little more. I have the manual 06 TL so offset is VERY important.



Here is the 245/35/19" tire without lowering OEM height. Imagine it 1.2" lower.
