Considering the condition of the roads in the NYC area, you've gotta be nutz to lower the car. The only person I've ever met from queens who did so regretted it from all the bottoming out she'd been experiencing since.

That's why I didn't.

I live in Brooklyn but I drive a lot in Queens (I spend most of my time there actually). I'm pretty low (no gap between my wheels and fenders) and I have no problems. You just have to drive paying close attention to the roads. If you do that, you'll be fine.

Drop that baby!

Not sure if you remember me, I came in the silver TL to pick up carbon fiber vinyl from your brother at the gas station. I plan on dropping my car in march. Tein s-techs pair wit sport koni yellows. you should definately drop it. make the car more aggressive.

nothing at the time being but just want to kno were u guys would trust ur tl . I had a few bad incidence where my car came out wid a problem worst then when I sent it in .One was on Rockaway on 101 street -I had brought my car in because my windshield wipers just stoped working and it was raining. It was just a loose bolt , he put the bolt bak and was having a hard time putting back the wiper control arms back in and end up cracking my windshield …they of course denied it but im friends wid the boss so he replaced it ..(out of their pockets ) . The next was In Brooklyn On Cooper Av right of Cypress hill st ….I was getting 2 control arms installed ..when I got back the car all motor mounts was broken and yet agian they also denied it so I had to replace it cause I ad no proof it was them ..So now u see I need a new spot ? Recommendations ?

came out pretty good. Did interior, wrapped the two silver trims like you had it. Just looking to wrap the front grill once it gets warmer or when the snow decides to stop.
