The tanabe's don't change the ride too much at all. I don't know about the h-tech's though.

IMO cars always look better lowered from factory height, but I have never been to toronto. If you are willing to go through the pain of driving on harsh road conditions, then go for it!

H&R are the worst decision for bad road conditions.

stillballin: I think that's why he's getting rid of them... lol

Toronto is not for lowered cars... all the potholes, cracked pavement, high curbs, and snow in the winter (my friends' g35 and 330i turn into snow plows every winter). Looks great, but quite a hassle as a daily driver. Just my 2 cents!

oh and not being able to go over ANY speed bumps.. aka useless lol j/k mike

if the road conditions are that bad just go tanabe's for a slight drop or go coilovers to drop them and raise them as you wish for when you need a higher ride raise them up and when you want a trackier feel lower them.

You got me. Tring to sale them, going with BC-coilovers because of the 20in rims they will rub with H&R

Hot.

I notice the suburbs around Toronto have much nicer roads. If you live in say Markham I'd say lower it, otherwise no.
