Lowering
Hey guys I just had question about lowering. I would like to lower my 05tl but I'm not sure if it would look good with the stock rims. Are the stock rims to small to lower the car down. I mean I saw my friend with 19s and when he didn't lower his car, the rims looked small, but then as soon as he lowered the car, the rims looked bigger. And if it is okay, then how many inches should I lower?? please let me know. Thanks.

lowering with stock wheels IMO is ok it def makes the car look better ... as for how low depends on where you live and how bad the roads are

A drop on stockies is hot. Drop it 1.5" all the way around and see what you think.

Do you have a camber kit in the rear with your S tech drop?
