you could always duct tape your old springs to your nikes and have a brand new pair of moon boots...

Looks very good dropped, we will diffently be adding them to the list of things to do to my girlfriend's Tc, we were told this morning that her's will be in anytime from Tomorrow to Tuesday of next week.

Looks really good with the drop . I should have my springs sometime in the next couple of days. Can't wait to get them on but it might have to wait until I get back from LA after the weekend.

just slighty though. i haven't seen a tC with springs yet, but from the pics that i've seen, it looks that way.
i see our tC everyday with the drop and the rear doesn't look lower than the front. also, it depends on how flat or unflat the ground the tC is on.

Here are pics of my car before and after the springs:

So far, I can't tell much difference in the ride but I've only driven about 30 miles since I had the springs installed. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know what you think. Thanks, Jayme
that didn't take long before you got it installed. the car looks 100% better with the drop.

LOL, well it took a couple weeks to get the springs so I wanted to get them installed ASAP :-). I'm really happy with how much better the car looks without noticeably affecting the ride. -Jayme

NICE! Thanks for the pics. I went over to kearny mesa to check the bsp they have on the lot and it def. looks nicer with the springs on. I'm surprised it didn't come like that from the factory, since all the shows and ads had it like that.

did you decide on whether you are keeping them or selling the stock springs?
PM me if you decide to sell it
