after the drop

I bought 18x8's and was running 225/40/18 but it was to tall and didnt look right so after the drop i went to a 215/35/18 and they tuck so nice and look so clean ,The ride is so smooth with the tein s tech's .I thought the 35 series would ride rough as hell but it's smooth / rims are 38 offset

Believe me I was suprised too ! But yes i had it doing 90 on the freeway and no road noise and it with the spring up-grade it just seems to work together to ride nice and I dont have to worry about the tires smashing the plastic fender wells up front or rubbing in the rear

i like it b/c it's not too low...exactly what I want. the S Techs drop is lower than the H Techs though right?

Yes ! the s tech's are about 1.3 to 1.5 in all honesty and as you see it no camber kit but my rear is -2.45 degreese so i am getting the skunk 2 and going to set the rear to only .75 neg in the rear for best tire wear ,also i had to ditch my 225/40/18's caused they rubbed the plastic fender wells up front and when i would adj. the rear camber strait it would hit the fenders so i went with 215/35/18 and it came out perfect .No more clearance issues

how far did it drop the car and are you planning on using a camber kit?
I want to drop my asb sedan but I don't want to drop it far enough to need a camber kit. I am thinking maybe HFP suspension is the only way to do it.

Looks good... just a little disappointing to see an SI wing on a non-SI

Good drop, clean car, glad you made it work.

You know that stock camber for the rear is -1.5 degrees? Some shops even set them to -2.0 for better cornering.
