I don't think you want another 1" of a drop, if you were saying that it was already kind of low. maybe the hotchkis springs, tanabe nf's, or h-techs. s-techs will give you a 2" drop, but depending how low your streets can handle I think you'll scrape on some driveways and dips. also you'll def. need shocks with s-techs or any other 2" drop. I like the s-tech drop though, but don't feel like dealing with the consequences; so i'll just put on my coilovers.
youre right, I scrape the lower part of my front end everytime I back out of the driveway.
@#$@$%#$^^#$%

car still looks a bit too high for my preference, I suppose though any lower and it wouldnt be very driveable in my area.

the first week when I drove it stock, it was fun. The tc is a fun car to drive, decent acceleration, small body, and tight handling.

now that its lowered, its not fun anymore. I have to worry about dips, bumps and potholes all the time.

but woo... the tc does look sexy with the kit and slammed all the way, too bad, that would kill it as a daily driver. I dont see how some of these people have such low cars and still able to drive them. driving over speed bumps must be a near impossible feat. In the gals with tcs thread I think, someone had her tc slammed all the way, to the point that it looked like the sills were touching the ground. I would think that would make it impossible to drive, no?
unless she used airbags or something.

the kit doesnt lower the car, but it extends the edges horizontally out a couple of inches. I didnt scrape the driveway before the kit, now it scrapes with the kit.

Those with their cars slammed all have either coilovers or airbags (for a complete slam). If your talking about the BCP tC, she said it was low like that just for the photos, but she raised it back up; i don't remember whether she had coilovers or airbags though.
