That's a good choice. I'm running those with TRD shocks but I wish I got S-techs instead because I test fitted some 18's on my car and of course the car was raised a bit. I like my height now with the H-techs but if I get 18's I want to keep this height with a good amount of meat on the tires so I might change up to S-techs or something else later on.

They used to be $100 on Kaminari but with like $100 shipping. Then they upped the price to what it is now.

What else are you.. Well what can you do with the stance? You're almost tucking rim in the rear! Love that drop.

I'm tucking rim front and rear, I'll let you consider that one

I'm 7" lower aprox in rear and about 6.5" in front exhaust and bumper pinch are only things stopping me from going lower at this point... in between a 1/2" of clearance from lips and ground to 3/4" when down...

This is from another shoot at the same location i'll post 2 so you can see my stance issues I'm well in the "SLAMMED" category but I'm running 18x8.5s now and have a huge cap between quarter panel/fender in front and rear if i went with 9s i'd be extremely close if i can fix my camber i'm actually staggering it now LOL

Positive camber/negative camber front and rear due to how far dropped i am

If you got ideas for fixing that I know I can get camber arms but only so much I can fit in there right now especially since my shields are gone already to fit my tires i almost touch exhaust on one side and water reservoir on the other

You can start to see once the car is at an angle my stance concerns, ultimately I want rim and fender/quarter panel to almost touch i'm going to run door trim around the fender/quarter panel to protect the rims just in case.

The suspension is bilstein struts with bags on them, it performs almost as good as my tein ssp w/ the upper pillow ball mounts. The kit I purchased was the air lift kit however I've ordered accuair management at this point and it cost an arm and a leg but will definitely help with micro managing each line so I can get closer to coils I'll never have the same performance as the autoX setup but hey the low life isn't about performance...

For those that say air isn't the same as static, I beg to differ I ride so damn low you can hear my wheel wells knock every time my tire hits it and on top of that I've had to replace the hangars on my exhaust 4 times from dragging and have had to touch up my fenders from tires hitting them constantly the debate to me is silly the difference is i can squeeze an extra inch lower when i park that is it.

Post up pics of your tC again I haven't seen them in forever (Jasper Ash) or toss me a link to your build thread

The drop is soooooo sick. Makes me want bags. Honestly I don't know you can do about your camber at that drop. But it looks great as is - hovercraft status.

My build thread is in my sig. Just updated with new pics on the last page.
