Hey guys, im new to this forum and i just have a quick ?. im ordering a tc in the next few days and i was just curious as to what to do. i want to get a wide body kit real bad, they look sick. but i was wondering if i should do a drop with it as well. or i should just do the wide body kit and just bigger wheels and tires? also if i do the wide body kit and the drop then what springs do you recommend? and finally what suspension kit do you recomend. thanks again guys.

later, Andy

If i got the kit, i would drop it, cars look funny to me when they have kits but arn't dropped. I would recommend the TRD springs... you dont need any other suspension stuff if you get the TRD springs

The wide body kit is ugly...IMO

i love the wide body kit, i think it gives the car a mean look. you deff have to drop it because the drop makes the car look 100x better, even without a body kit. if you plan on getting rims on the car anytime in the future you want to drop it because cars that aren't dropped with nice wheels just look weird just like ham said.

i am going with the trd springs, they are nice out of the factory and give the car a good stance and work well with the stock suspension

What kind of widebody are you thinking of? If it's the kaminari, then I have nothing else better to say, because I would never get that.

 

[greg091]

i dont think the kaminari is a wide body

maybe he's talking about the Viniati kit. thats the only widebody kit for the tC to date,

The only aftermarket body kit I like is that Kaeon kit. Makes the car look like a BMW and is still very classy. But, the price is still $600 and that is JUST PLAIN NUTS if you ask me. I'm leaving my car stock, at least for now, probably for ever.

Now to answer your question, yes I would drop it even if you get wheels because as stated before, it just looks corny to have all that "stuff" on your car and have it the stock height. As far as the wide body kit goes... i'm not a fan. But to each his or her own.

This one...I don't like it. The wheels in the front stick too far in. I don't like the idea of a wide body, but of course, just my opinion. The car is wide enough, but I'm sure a body kit will come out soon that is good. So far, disappointed in most.

the KAEON kit is not that nice, and i would not want to risk buying that from tC tunerz. i do, however, like the kaminari ground effects kit. its beautiful.


also, 600 for a bodykit is fairly cheap

I recomend dropping the car. Coilovers would be ideal but if you just want springs replace the struts too otherwise the higher spring rate will blow your stock struts real soon.

Oh, and learn how to scuplt clay, lay fiberglass and create your own body kit. If you are really hardcore you will learn how to cast ureathane. After you put the kit on, break the mold.
