No more 4x4 tC.....

So I finally bit the bullet and bought the tC some springs. I came across a deal on a set of road magnet lowering springs that I just could not pass up. Road magnets are rated at a 1.5" drop front and rear.

Before install

This is After the install, I didn't move the car yet so the springs weren't actually seated yet.

the fact that the springs are similar in color to your car is a good bonus...

What's the spring rates for these springs? They don't look as progressive as others out there. I want to buy the stiffest springs I can get with no more than a 1.5 inch drop.

Not sure what the spring rates are, but I do know that they ride almost the same as stock, so it's not gonna work for you. You might be better off going with the eibach pro-kit or H&R sport springs.

On another note with the 18's on 18x7.5 35mm offset and 235-40-18 I am experiencing some rubbing on bumps and dips.
