2007 Acura TL type S Tein S Tech and Truhart shocks

I was unable to find anything on those so at this price why not. I am more than happy with the final drop. the wheels are almost tucked in.

I was also suprised by the drop. Looking at pictures from other members on H&R springs mine looks lower?

No rubbing, no spacers. Alignment was not a problem(no camber kit needed). The car ride amazingly.

Hi,

had some work done on my car since.

-18 inch aspec wheels
-15 spacer in the front
-20mm spacer in the back
-Full aspec lip
-Hic roof spoiler

I need to roll the fender in the back. There is grinding even on small bumps.
As for ridde comfort. Not as good as stock but a great quality ride anyway.. And over bumps you feel like you're going in the air. But overall great buy.





Added aspec 18x7.5, 20mm back and 15 mm front
At night
aspec 18 with 15mm spacer in the front and 20 in the back
added front aspec lip and roof spoiler from hic


Full aspec lip added

I'm curious how long the Truhart shocks are going to last. TEIN is a trusted brand with lots of R&D behind their products. But not much is known from TruHart . Usually with suspension parts, you get what you pay for (to a certain extent).

You could have a point but it could also be that big compagnies overprice their product base on the brand name. Will keep everyone updated with longevity but uptill now i am verry satisfied with the product quality.

did you go up a tire size with the aspecs? I'm curious to know what your tire size is now since you rub in the back....

Are they 18x7.5 TSX a-specs? Isn't the offset +55?
