Good choice! All Ti's need to be lowered in order to look properly proportioned. In stock form they look much too hunched up in the rear.

The reason why i wont lower my car is because i dont want to be scrapping the front bumper over every, dip, bump, driveway etc. I would be so freaking pissed if i hear the scrape. And then having to slow down big time just to go over a bump? Nope, thats not me.

It doesn't need park distance control, and hates decadence. It is musclepacked, yet lightly wound. It lets you feel the asphalt and get you going with the smallest touch of the pedal. It provokes, seduces, and demands to be driven hard. It looks, sounds, and smells like performance.

The H&R drop looks good! I like the way it looks lowered but not too much.

Jesus buddy, enough with the thread jacking! Nobody cares why you dont want to lower your ti.

Oh and rwd_king; the Ti looks even better the second time I’m viewing it!

Really? I would think the Races scrape, my buddy lkwd318ti runs the Sports with no problems.

Maybe theres a difference between WA and SoCal roads...

Ryan,
Looks great.....I like those wheels too.
Especially now that you have the Stromung peeking out the back....

Actually, the ride is amazingly smooth and im not sacrificing any comfort or driveability... if anything the ride is smoother because it doesn't bounce you up and down and up and down after a bump...

i probably have to deal with some of the ****tiest maintained roads in north america...
your from where, Hugo? LA? ... lol you don't even understand bad roads until you've been here.



FTR - with this bilstien/H&R combo, i will never a rub tire inside the fender or scrape my bumper... i would have already if it was going to happen.

His sig says Bilstein Sports.

Don't use stock shocks, they're not valved properly to take on the added firmness of the uprated springs and will give out very quickly.
