Want aggressive look, but where to start?!

Hello to everyone, so this is my first post... I've been looking around at different threads and can't figure out how to go about doing what I want..

So, I want an aggressive look for my car (2005 TL - Base) but don't know where to start... I haven't bought wheels or anything yet and don't know whether to go with lowering springs or full coilovers... I was thinking about maybe a 19" wheel but again, I'm new to offsets, etc... What would you guys recommend I do? I want to go pretty low maybe right above the actual rim... where do I start? please let me know if you guys need any more info of what i want... hopefully someone can help out there!

Thanks in advance!!

you start by getting coilovers and lowering to your limit.
once, you've figured out the stance, then add wheels.
so, basically....

crawl before you walk

Me too I need some help with it as well with the offset and getting that staggered flush look.

But to answer a couple of your questions, if you want to go real low I highly recommend going with TEIN adjustable coilovers, you'll have unlimited adjustability for your car, as for springs the lowest you'll go is 2" and most of the time that's not low enough to get the loom you want especially of you're going with 19s.

Welcome to the forums!

For an aggressive look? Well, that sounds sort of subjective. How aggressive? Like Mean, or Extreme?

Ultimately you are going to need wheels, lowering and probably an A-Spec lip kit also. That's sort of the standard formula.

I agree with the above about the Tein coilovers. Get the Basis or the SA if you aren't trying to lower past 2.25" or so, and the Street Flex if you want to go more than that.

Wheels...there is whole world of wheels out there. Find the wheel and tire calculator and some more tech info in the forums for some help deciding.
