Lowering my 8
So I did use SEARCH button but still didn't get what I was looking for. I want to lower my car, right now is stock and running stock rims with 245 tires and thats not going to change this year , at least I dont think so. I want to run Tein S Tech and I wonder what would I need along with putting them on... I know I'm going to need to do alignment. My car is a daily so I drive quite a lot. How's lowering spring gonna affect tires? Do I need to get camber kit? Because getting springs and camber kit is getting bit too much at once..

The Tein S Techs are a very popular choice they allow you to lower the car without changing the feel of the car too much as the spring rates are very close to stock... I personally choose to go with the Tanabe GF210's previously because the higher spring rate = better performance, I'm now running coilovers though

I should have been a comedian. But, they told me to keep my day job instead...lol
It's a very complicated question to answer. I'm old school you know. I'm from the 20th century...this is for the 21st century people to answer (the new kids from the block)...lol
