Default Got the wheels but REALLY NEED A DROP!

Hey All,

I got my HRE 841Rs put on today. The rims look great (VERY GLAD I WENT WITH THE BLACK w/silver lip)....but I didn't think the car would sit so damn high...... will post pics later tonight.

I am planning on getting coilovers but can't decide on which ones to get...need some input....:

Tein Type CS with EDFC

or

Tom's Advox Kit

Anyone get any advise? I know some of you are running the Tein Type CS, but does anyone have the Tom's Advox? Are they worth the money????????

Dumb Question: Do you have air-suspension? Just asking because Carson has the lowering module on sale!

have never seen a black Celsior (04) with black wheels, would like to see it tinted and lowered.

Good luck

nope, I didn't get the air susp. option....probably the biggest mistake when I got the car...

I got the rims today at F1 Motorsports, and they have the Tom kit in stock and they are ordering the Teins for me....so by Tues, the car will be dropped... Just have to decide which way to go...

Tint, TVs and system will be getting installed within about a month or so.....waiting on my Car Audio sponsors....

Stick with the Tein, Toms Advox is really over priced for a set of coilovers.

Looks good!

Default OGS, please check your PM.

Black w/polished lip on black looks so sweet! Just last week, I saw a black 760 with those same wheels and lowered; broke my neck a few times. BTW, please check your PM, thanks.

Just an update:

My brother ordered the HREs with a custom chrome lip not polished sliver....so the rims are coming off Sat and will have them back in a week.

But luckly I will my teins in at the same time...so I will post pics with the chrome lip and drop some time next week.
