T1r Suspension

Hi everybody on fitfreak! I am going to try to share my experience with you guys about the T1R Suspension if thats alright! I've goten these suspension about 3 months ago over @ aj-racing. My first impressions before I drove it was that just the look of it having it lowered got rid of all that fender gap. Then when it came to driving it before I had a wheel allignment I felt that the car was stiff at first compared to stock. I eventually got use to it and as I was still learning to drive the car handling was very impressive! Then as I went for my wheel allignment and re-drove the car. The car handled even better! Oh yes I was still on the stock 14" wheels if that matters? But anyways, the more I drove the car the more I loved the suspension! But the best feeling I had was when I was hard turning! I felt that there was close to no body roll if not at all. I hope all you guys that if you decide to invest money into a suspension kit please consider the T1R! Sorry if most of you dont find this information useful but thats just me trying to share my story with you guys. Im sure Ben @ AJ can hook up all you guys with great pricing! I'd give these 5/5 stars!

umm, well i believe that the minimum drop was lower then stock ride height and depending on the wheel size you decide to run at it may rub possibly. as you said that your wife is not that great of a driver she may just go pretty quick over the speed bumps of some sort it will most likely rub. just tell her to go slow over bumps since its lower then stock ride height or maybe even at a angle. may sound weird but i live in a school zone area and theres a buncn of big speed bumps i have to hit them on a angle. good luck though and be cautious!

I have 'em on my car too. I wish they came with instructions and/or tips for setting them up. So far it's been trial and error for me. I'll have to wait till Spring to really get some more aggressive settings as the snow just started around here...
