There is no TTE kit. There is a front lip. Although there is also a rear insert lip, it does not make enough impact for people to get. Also, the insert needs a dual-tip exhaust setup on each side.
Here is the TTE front with L-Tuned sides and L-Sportline rear (lexforlife's car):

and what a nice combination all those parts make, as evidenced by how smooth Ed's car looks
That is how I would like my car to look like except not lowered, since I have heared how much it could cost when the control arms need to be replaced and since they wear out faster too, I don't know if it is true but every mechanic I spoke too advised me that. What kind of wheels are these. And does this car has an exhaust or just the tips.
the wheels are the 20" Dronell CA05, and as I understand it, they are rare and dicontinued. There is a set for sale in the classified's...click here. This beautiful ride also has aftermarket exhausts, full cat back i believe, and not tips. Not sure whether your car would have the same affect given that you dont want to lower it...it just wouldnt look as aggressive without lowering it form the stock height.

If you don't drive your car to aggressive through turns etc your control arms should be fine.... Someone such as Ed is a very aggressive driver who puts alot of stress on those suspension parts.. Thats why he has replaced almost every front piece... I have driven with ed so i know first hand...He's very knowledgable on this subject Our cars get the stress no matter what.... Just putting 20's on your car is enough stress even if you don't lower it....
I was skepitical to about lowering the car.... With the right parts and driving sensibly your car should be fine.... I'm also down the road planning on replacing some front suspension pieces to give me a peace of mind.... Good Luck on your quest

Thanks alot for the replies guys this definately helped. But what I was also reading in one of the threads was that by putting 20's it would slower the car a bit from the stock wheel launch. I read it in a thread in the stories/Enthusiast part of this web site. Don't wanna feel the sluggish car feel. I like it the way it launches itself right now. As I like to speed sometimes when someone presses that red button.

LXBOY,
That is my GS4. The exhaust is Greddy PE cat back system. I have lowered the car even more with Tein CS now.

Hey It really is an awesome ride. But you probably can answer my questions the best, does the ride feel sluggish after putting 20's on the car and without doing any performance mods. How long have you had the suspension and do you drive hard or ok sometimes, and have you had any problems with wearing of control arms sooner than expected. Your reply will really help.
