Koni Shocks+Eibach Pro Kit Installed
After my car was quite high and unimproved handling from the 19in wheels I put on my 07 TL S. I went and put on Eibach Pro Kit first and drove it around to decide that, I NEED the shocks put on.
The shocks are amazing I must say. I didn't do an aggressive drop and don't want to be close to scraping, so the drop was probably 1.5 max all around. My sub in the trunk has kept the rear slightly lower but you can't tell unless your looking carefully.
The shocks are set on the middle perch all around and i was thinking of putting the front perch at the lowest and drop the front down a little more, might be a waste of time and money but we'll see.
If Coilovers are to expensive for others I suggest this setup. The car handles WAY better I tested it on this off ramp I familiarly know. On stock wheels used to do it at 42mph, with the shocks Im glued going around at 50mph. Its smoother on the high way and with the pro kit being not to aggresive, cruising from 80-100 rides beautifully.
19x8.5 28 offset in front and 19x10 in rear 43 offset.
Just need a wheel alignment and then ill be done.
Center caps I ordered to match, I prefer them over the linea corse centers. Those go on when they align wheels.
I let the installer test it around a curve.

Thanks for the heads up guys
. are you positive before I go and have them pull this apart? Also, I thought my drop would be quite lower to be honest. I was thinking if they are upside down how would they be able to be installed. Wouldn't it not fit into place correctly? Hmmm

I still think Maze has the hottest drop. Best profile. Best stance.
