Help.

Honestly I had the same issue.... so I left my ex.



long story that wasn't the real reason I left her haha. I do like to tell people its because she put eye lashes on her green chevy spark cuz we did brake up right around the same time she did that

Are you planning on going coils or springs to lower. You can try and trick her by going coils by lowering it and still make it ride nice so she doesn't notice...

Wait. She'll probably notice when it takes more effort to get in and out of your now lowered car..

I'm out of ideas.. I'm just glad that my GF is into cars!

Truth be told, this and the already not so awesome clearance makes me hesitant about lowering, but I HATE the stock wheel gap.


And springs for now. coils will be in future years for racecar status. I just want the TRD springs. I trust them to work well with the stock struts.

You guys and your GFs... lol. Just say that one of the springs is broken, and you needed to buy new ones. But the OEMs cost more than the lowering spring because they're longer...

How is the difference in feel in getting in/out and scrapage/ride stiffness/clearance?

EDIT: I know I could probably search for questions like these, and a lot of times I have (I have in this case) but I like to ask y'all when it comes up because I trust y'alls opinions.

Help.

Because the underside of your car is a modern art installation illustrating the futility of human ingenuity against a cold, hard world, and she's interrupting your process.

I have the Tein s-tech springs and I believe they lower even more than the TRD ones. But I have not scraped on anything as of yet. Nothing too crazy, just dont be careless while driving. Take speedbumps careful etc. I used to scrape all the time in my Z in my driveway and havent found myself to scrape in my driveway yet in the frs.

Actually I lied.. I bottomed out while doing a canyon run and I wasn't paying attention and hit a whole dip in the road going too fast and it resulted in to sparks...

Haha I got my car to spark once too! I was out on some less then ideal back roads and slide off the road just a tad and 2 wheels were in grass and the underside got a nice scrap on the shoulder of the road haha

Haha yeah.. I had people with me when we were driving down that road for some filming and no one got it on damn video!

God damn, I lay frame, spark up and lit of the night, and no one gets in on camera...

Everyone saw it happen too which is the worst part

I have the Racecomp Engineering springs. Basically the same height as the TRDs. No noticeable increase in scraping.
