Why would you be embarrassed? Blackn'yellow Tl has only the front lip, SkLePro doesn't have the Aspec's, all of them are lowered ATLS_666, me and SkLePro are not, there is nothing wrong being stock, just come to the meets we are here to hang out, talk, ask questions and ideas on what to do to our cars

3 2 GONE
Also You SHOULD also pair lowering springs with aftermarket shocks. Don't ask why, just trust me. Do it right the first time.
H & R Sports + Koni is my suggestion.
P.S when are we gonna see the GoPro + pics from yesterday?

I have H&R 1.4/1.3 and didn't have to do anything else. Went for an alignment a week later (waited to let the springs settle first) and my wheels never went out of spec. So springs ($220ish) + install is what it will cost you to lower.

I was thinking bout all that, but then i remembered i'm on 19's with 35 series tires. If i lower suspension will naturally be stiffer, i dont want the added stiffness to increase the chances of denting my rims too much. What do you guys think?
#266
Ok its settled i'm just gonna get an Aspec kit.. If anyone knows of someone selling or where to get for cheap let me know... Shoxy where did you find yours to fit your TLS?! or did it come with it.

I'm on 19's with 35 series tires lowered over 2 inches on K-Sport. Its pretty much as low as u can go with 19's and still drive it every day. The ride is firm but still comfortable and im on pretty firm setting (actually was thinking to make it fermer) ... that is why its a good idea to spend a little more money on coilovers and have the freedom of setting ur hight and firmness exactly where u like it.

As for the Aspec kit ... get it from Acktl05 just like others said. I got mine from him shipped to my door for $805 ... cant go wrong
#272
I'm also on 35/19 tires with Tein SS coilovers almost maxed out and set them pretty stiff. It's still comfortable, not as bad as it sounds. The lower ride height and better handling far outweighs the compromise of a bit more stiff of a ride.

I heard mixed reviews for aspec suspension, what you guys think?

If you hit something that could potentially bend a rim, I can't see how having softer suspension will change much if anything at all.

Damn are you not afraid of those potholes?!? I turn into the Hulk everytime i hit a pothole on 35's and i'm on stock suspension.. I'm thinkin of the aspect oem suspension for type s, that way i can get a tad bit of lowering and improved handling and still maintain my extended warranty.

I have 225/35/19 stretched on 19x8.5 and 245/35/19 on 19x10 and have not had any problems even though I have hit a few rail roads pretty hard.
Wasn't aware you had extended warranty. I would probably buy the A-spec suspension for the time being until warranty is up, unless it is close to expiry.
I had about 170,000km on my A-Spec TL before I switched over to coilovers. I found the A-spec suspension became uncomfortable over beaten roads as I reached higher mileage. It was less responsive, more harsh, kind of hard to explain.
