So I've decided that the next step I'm going to take for my car
is to actually finally drop it.

As of the moment, I'm going with the Tein S Tech's because I've
heard a lot of good things about them and a lot of my friends ride
on these with their tC's.

But there is one thing that is on my mind.




How would the Tein S Tech drop be with my OEM Ground Effects?




I've seen lots of cars with the Tein S Techs but with no GE around my area.
It kind of worries me because I was thinking that, since the GE already makes my
car sit and look a bit lower, would the drop make my car lower than expected and
scrape more or would it actually look GOOD with the Tein's.

If anyone has any pictures or insight on this, I'd be very appreciative.

 

yea you will be really really close to the ground, my buddy has them and its kinda rough. although ive seen pics of eujins tC which is SLAMMED (on zeal coilovers close if not more then 3") with the oem kit and he doesnt scrape... it all depends how you drive. and with the lip kit + s-techs, it will look sick!

 

Yeah one of my friends (DJmajin) has them on his 06 Tc and that thing is scary! gotta drive really carefully when riding it like that.

 

I don't have the OEM ground effects, but i do run RS1 lip dropped on S-Tech's. Yes, it is low as all hell (4.5" of clearance in the front), but it's manageable. You learn rather quickly which roads are bad and which driveways you cant get up.

Now when I switch to coilovers and drop another 1/2" in the front and another 1.5" in the rear I wonder what I'll do.....

 

haha same friend i was tlakin about

 

tein's one looks more sporty I think

 

depending on your city....houston has horriable roads! so i alwayas adavise to get no lower then 1.5" drop.

 

there are horrible roads all across america. never stopped me...

 

Teins and body kit are not bad at all. I was running the Tein S and Kaminari kit and didnt have any issues. Now I am running the K Sport Coilovers and the same kit and set it about a 1/2 to a 1" lower and still ok. Here is a pic of it.

 

i have had no problems

 

ya, my ride is slammed. you wont scrape if you drive carefully. i havent scraped into and out of entrances, but those unavoidable speed bumps are harsh on my exhaust piping, lol. i scraped once or twice on the front but thats cuz i was going too fast for my own good



thats the front



thats the side skirt



thats the rear lip

now those are the measurements of clearance I have all around, those points being the lowest points of the kit. not a whole lot of clearance if i may say so OEM lip kit

 

hey eujin....how much more of a drop is that from the stechs????

 

eujin is on zeal coilovers not s techs!

 

dave i dont think thats what he meant lol. what he wants to know is how much further my drop is from an S-tech drop, which I have absolutely no idea

 

oh...
