waltaaaah! thought you were moving on from the TL.
glad you're looking to drop it!

I dont think it will look that dumb. she'll look more aggressive with a drop! do it!

i know itll look better with a drop but the offset of the stock wheels is terrible. they arent anywhere near being flush

and im not looking for "hella flush" but i just dont want it to look silly.

yea just drop her and add some spacers to bring it more flush like a 15-20mm ichiba v2 set up would work nicely

Waltah, after a few years, I finally gave in and bought H&R Sports Springs for my Type S. They should arrive next week. I know they'll look great with the Type S wheels. I'm looking forward to it!

Bearcat, why are you doing this to my life? Your car looks so hot, I planned to stop modding after my suspension setup. Now i see your wheels. Thank you mister. If i decide to buy type-s wheels for my WDP, you will be to thank for that decision. OMG! Decisions, decisions. I need to stop being easily influenced.

Gorgeous car

Rear is too low (imho). You need the front a tad lower and rear a tad higher to get that forward lean. Just a little tweaking to fine tune.

How do you guys drive with a vehicle that low?
Hows the handling characteristics? Looks good (and must handle amazing) but too low for my liking, and driveway.

More low does not necessarily mean better handling

but it sure does look good

Those with coilovers on the stock waffles need to add spacers. When you slam it, the wheels are too tucked and it looks silly.

If you do just lowering springs, like the H&Rs, you won't necessarily need spacers.

jsheth probably pulled off the best stance on stock waffles: https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/25mm-long-cbp-type-s-785061/
