Anyone lowered on OEM 18s?

I tried to search for something as I know I've seen some information on this before, but couldn't find anything.

I'm hoping to see some pictures of 4Gs lowered on OEM 18s. Could you please also provide an estimate as to how far you've lowered and whether you needed a camber kit, or not.

I ordered the Tein Street Basis and want to get a sense before I have them installed.

Thanks in advance.

well, since coilovers are height adjustable, you wont get some one with your exact drop.

i mentioned in one of your other threads; more than 2 inches would need a camber kit.

Thanks...yes you did on the camber kit. I was just curious to see pictures with information on how far they are lowered, so I can get a good idea.

^it'd be a better use of your time to just look at pictures of lowered TL's rather than waiting on some one to post a pic.

That would absolutely be true if all I had to do today was to search this site for exactly what I'm hoping to find by reading every post. Unfortunately, I have a business to run.

Here's a pic of mines lowered. Don't know how much I lowered it. Also has 20mm spacers all around.

you lower it to your liking, some people live in areas with steep driveways.. so its all up to how you want it to be set up.

pics are all over the internet.. about 75% of the people here start off with being lowered on stock wheels.. i am sure you can find a few pics within 5 mins.. i mean you have time to check acurazine right?

Funny...people are all over me for asking for pictures. I posted the question and within 2 hours, voila...a picture. Imagine that! In that two hours I had time to actually get some work done and make money.

I understand I do it to my liking. Really? I only wanted to see pictures for example purposes.

Thank you. I appreciate you posting the pic and not ridiculing me for asking.

Don't tell me what's false and what's not. I know how I work. I'm pounding out posts that take ten seconds each vs. searching aimlessly on this site for pictures.

Sorry, but you brought that on yourself. I simply asked a quick question and you turned it into a shitting match. I appreciate your help on all the other questions, but your demeanor is nothing to write home about.

If you learned to not be so contentious and pretentious, you might not have to deal with "assholes" all the time. Ever think of that? Enjoy your day.

Oh...and, thank you.
