Here ya go t6c9. (Hook you up, only because I grew up in Fairfax,Va)





Didn't know which one...so I took some of your better shots and cropped them. :D

Very nice btw... I wouldn't have mind going with the Skunks...but I'm rolling 19's...I can only assume that rubbing would begin to be a problem. Very nice though! I like.

t6c9

thanx bigkid... i've been trying to getem posted somehow so people could see.... i haven't had a problem with rubbing yet, but i have been taking it kinda easy so that the springs cansit right... it rides real niice and it handles like no other... it's amazing!

BigKid

No problem...

I really liked the last photo for some reason. Just a really killer stance.

t6c9

t6c9

BlueBox

sits 2" lowerer all around...and rides very comfortable even on my staggered 19s.

I know I am gonna sound really stupid, but I'm a noob so oh well, what do the springs do? :oops:

KYBoy

they lower your center of gravity so you get better handling and the make the car look 100X better

Kaeon

They also stiffen the ride of your car, inproving cornering, etc.

downside is they make the ride a little harsher. but if the springs are 'progressive rate' then they get stiffer the more they are compressed for a nice trade off in ride quality versus handling. TRD and eibach prokit are progressive, not sure about the other brands. just thought i'd give iwantascion both side to the story.

If I decide to get 18's added and lower the car 1" all around, would the tires wear any faster? I think my white tC looks great now, but some of the pics of lowered rides on this site look really good! I don't want to slam it, but just make it look a little more streamlined than it already is.

yesti

if you go an inch or so the camber shouldn't be affected enough to cause uneven wear on the tires but you should maintain your tire pressures regularly.

Did you guys with the Tein S Techs a Camber Kit? Is it neccessary to get a Camber Kit?

whyte_AZN

yeah i was wondering the same thing. do u guys w/ the tein stech have camber kits?

BigKid

There is a camber kit that will be out, if not already(I haven't been brought up to date on its release...) from Hotchkis. Its for the rear, I was tempted at first to purchase it when available. But I've reconsidered since then.

The camber isn't as aggressive at everyone thinks(IMO), but some may see it differently. With that said, I may just wait. I'm rollin 19's and I haven't discovered any problems yet...but again its still really early. Hell if anything I think the contact with the tire and the tarmack is improved, more rubber adds to better handling as well.

As long as you correct the front alignment I think it should suffice.

Plus it just give the tC a much more steathier look.

I have TRD springs and struts. car rides great i would go with TRD. It does not void warranty.
