Stock rims with drop

I tried searching but couldnt find much. I was just wondering if anyone has any pics of a 07 or 08 base TL (preferably WDP but idc) with a drop... Thanks

I think dropping a car willl improve almost EVERY car's appearance. Except maybe and aztec...that car is just hopeless.

^ i agree hands down. a car looks better dropped with any rims, but the 04-06 base rims looks sooo much better than the 07+ in case you care to swap them out

plus, with oem rims...people do a double take and say it looks like it's from factory, but there's just something very badazz about it...hmmm...give it a shot...can always swap out rims later.

Wow a drop does make a difference! I honestly don't think the stock rims are bad at all, putting into consideration other stock rims. I think it's the fact that it's "stock" that gets to people. Either way, I'm getting some DPE s-20's soon

Here's mine with stock rims and 255s with a-spec springs and Konis on the low setting in front, stock height in the rear. Mine is all the way to the right. Anyone know how to post the actual pictures instead of a link in this thread?

I can't remember who it was on here, but someone on here had the burgundy with an Aspec kit AND had the headlights painted to match. It looked amazing, I thought. Great color on this car.

H&R Race. That pic was from the day that i installed them. I settled a little bit lower. No spacers for now. I Ordered 5mm H&R spacers to install new wheels so i can clear the BBK

Lowered on Stocks

Originally Posted by .TODD

Springs H&R Race on Stock shocks for about 5 years now
Approximate Front Lowering: 2.25 in"
Approximate Rear Lowering: 2.00"
Rear camber; -3

It's a great drop for stock wheels, The rear wheels will barely tuck in, about 1/4 inch in or less. and the front wheels will have a 1/4 inch gap.





Bur if you go with aftermarket wheels it looks even better...
