Thread revival!
Lowered the car on Function Form Type 2 coils. I'm pretty happy so far. Stock suspension had 60k miles on it. The coils are set so that the fenders' edges are about halfway between the tire and wheel. Even with the damper set to the middle setting (16) it feel better than stock as far as cruising and response. Going to give it a week or two to settle before I readjust height and dampers.

Looks good! You need a black roof and darker wheels before your car lives up to that license plate 
As for my TL, I drove to class and back. It'll sit until work tonight.

Turn Signal Relay Resistor mod with .24 Ohm resistor, switchback LEDs in front, and LEDs in the back. No hyperflash and clean on/off makes me happy

"Refurbished" my side engine mount with polyurethane. It was destroyed. When I removed the bolts the two pieces completely fell apart as I removed the mount. Scraped all the crap out, polished it up and refitted it with 3M poly. Not installed yet since it needs to dry for a few days. We'll see how it works 
. I'm guessing the side engine mount doesn't even provide that much support since I don't notice any difference with it removed

Reinstalled my 19's, and added my new dash designs dash cover.
Parted the car out and listed it for sale, then my nephew calls and he wants the car everything reinstalled (wheels, audio, tint, performance parts, etc...)
I cut him a deal since he is young and just started in the Marines.

Glad to see your car is staying together! Never got to see too many pictures, but when we did, they were great! Car was super clean!
Nothing on mine today, but Monday I got an alignment that I was finally happy with, and yesterday got new inserts for the wipers. Super exciting stuff.
Actually, today I found myself driving next to a Lincoln navigator, which has a thick chrome strip along the bottom, so I got to see a nice rolling view of my wheels

^Thanks KJ
and the good part about it is that I still get to work on the car and show him how to take care of it. If he treats it well, it should last him years to come (Its still a baby, with only 50k miles on the odometer). Even though I had the car listed for sale, I was still going to be picky about who I let it go to.

I haven't driven a lowered car in about a year and a half, it takes some getting used to again
Also part of the plan. I graduate school after this semester so I'm rewarding myself with a black roof. MAYBE darker wheels, but I'm pretty happy with these stock wheels. I was thinking of maybe painting them charcoal or gunmetal.

Parked it at the airport. It seems like it spends 8-10 days a month in long term parking these days.
Yesterday I changed the oil, rotated the tires and replaced the front brake pads. I purchased the TL with 72K miles on it and just changed brakes at about 156K. The pads were still at about 30-40%.
It is by far the best I have ever gotten from brakes on ANY car I have owned.
Next weekend I'll do the rear pads and rotors. My passenger side rear rotor is showing some damage.
