Default l-tuned springs/shocks

I've been thinking of lowering my car with the l-tuned springs/shocks to get rid of the fender gap. I want to know from some of you guys how comfortable is the ride compared to stock. And will I need to adjust anything else b/c of lowering it an 1in?

Do a search for L-tuned suspension, and you'll find a few threads. I don't have them, but thats what I'm going with. I've read they are a bit stiffer, and I don't believe you'll have to make any "adjustments."

Talking

For your money, you get 1.25" lower, essentially no deterioration in comfort (actually, more comfortable to me since that wallowy/queasy feel of body boinging around on the springs is now gone) and no adjustments necessary other than re-alignment after install.

Highly recommended. Ought to be the stock suspension.

Get Teins
I persoanlly dont think the l-tuned are flexible enough
ie. ride height, wheel gap
depends on if you got shoes for your ride

by flexible you mean the comfortability of the ride or how the l-tuned is going to drop the car?

"flexibility" means you have the choices of dropping the car with ranges of inches..instead of springs where you are "set" on the drop and no adjustiment
