I have my Tein’s all the way down for summer and the ride is very smooth. I took a 1,500 mile road trip 2 weeks ago and everyone was in a deep sleep but me. it has a nice stock feel with an aggressive stiffness when im in the canyons.

Thanks for the compliments.

Well not sure what part of NY you're from but there's a tradeoff point where you'll have to average out the amount of swerving to avoid stuff versus looking good. I want to slam it but I also like being able to hit 100 every now and then (well every day) .

Papi, I drive around BK/Queens/City/LI...So I will be avoiding this all the time, which I'm used to already. All my past 3 cars were dropped.

Type A you should post a pic of your car on the lowest setting...I'll be so greatful!

Here's my GS on Tein CS and stock 17's. The front is maxed out and the rear has about an inch left.

I'll post my CS drop on 20's. I haven't taken a pic of the car since i slammed the car all the way for Toyotafest.

I'll try to get it done this weekend and post.

Tein CS v2. Fully dumped in the front (Rings will NOT move anymore!) 2 visible threads in the rear. This is as low as anyone would put the car.

Here is the car flat( below )


Another flat shot( below )


Here is a wide shot of the car halfway in my friends driveway.


This last shot was taken while half pulled into that same driveway.( below )

Wow...I didn't know that CS can be dropped like that! Lexbox/papi that looks great guys. I might be leaning more towards the CS now because of living in NY. The SS would be my choice if I had smoother roads around here. Lexbox - is there any rubbing issues and what size wheels do you have?

Another shot of the front while half pulled into that same driveway. Yes, I have touched up the caliper since this pic.


Same driveway, same angle but a shot of the rear passenger side. Notice I am tucking with NO problems. Very nice!

Wow, you CAN tuck some tire with the Tein CS. Very nice.

Are those 19's or 20's?

I run 20x8.5 in the front with 245/35's and 20x10 in the rear with 275/30's. I do not know my offsets but if you ask Derek and mention me Im sure he would tell you. I asked Derek to make it look perfect, flush with fender. Surprisingly, I cannot confirm any rubbing. I am running full stiff in the front and rear. With running two threads in the rear and about a half tank of gas or less, I tuck the tires at all times in the rear anywhere between 1/4'' to 1/2''. Ive actually had a full tank of gas before and had two big friends of mine and I was tucking the whole top of the tire and still managed to go down a steep driveway with no apparent rubbing. I was scared attempting that but I had to know what she could do.
