Stock ride height or lower?

[StevenDavisPhoto]

Hey Guys, I'm wondering if you guys are gonna lower your FRS/BRZ. I currently have an 06 Scion TC, and have the TRD lowering springs. I also have the stock lip kit. I tend to scrape a lot and I'm getting tired of having to be so careful all the time. Maybe if I only did ONE of those it would have been fine. So what's your plan? Lower? Kit? Both? None? I figure this thing is gonna handle really well already in stock form, and I may not do body mods, cuz things always get banged up when you do. I might just do a minor drop and some new wheels and leave the rest of the lower car alone. You?

I'd like to drop it about 3/4 of an inch just for looks as those wheel wells are just a bit too high for my taste. But agree that scraping would be painful so not too much of a drop.

Coilovers, rolled fenders, tires stretched, cambered out, tuckin tire front and rear.

Low is the way to go. Lemme get somebody who says my intentions are all form and no function so I can E-slap you in the face

maybe, but i just do spirited daily driving commuting every day, plus my driveway is steep and i can't avoid scraping. i don't find it really necessary unless i was gonna track it. after having a lowered car for 6 years, it's too much of a headache for me. being 29, i'm getting bored with all the extreme mods. lookin to just go with the "clean" look for the next car.

an inch. no more.

[TylerLieberman]

Extreme would be tucking rim. Tucking the top bit of the sidewall isnt too much of a challenge. Especially after looking at the height of some of the demo cars with the wheel/tire setups they had.

I will probably keep it stock and get designated summer tires and winter tires with the cost of lowering.

terms like cambered out and tuckin tire and stretching tires scream image without regard to performance so you are right in expecting it

kinda how i feel. he may be right. idk. i'm not a tuner. i did all the modding back when i was in my early 20's and i'm kinda over it. i just want a clean car with some subtle mods.

Yes about 30 mm lowering with wheelspacers. That will be all until total conversion.

[DIG1992]

keeping her stock or maybe an inch

[coyote]

I'll probably raise mine a few mm.

[chulooz]

I dont think Id want to deal with anything more than a couple inches for a drop. Its going to be hard to watch people toss out performance for looks on these cars, but it shouldnt happen too quickly.
