gettin some rims...
hey i am gettin some 18" rims w/ some pirelli p7000 225/40/18 and i was wondering if u guys think i it will look ok if i dont drop it...
I really want the rims but i dont want to drop my car because something is already messed up with my front suspension and also my driveway is like climbing a mountain so it will be hella hard to get up and down it all the time...
Do you think it will look alright if i dont drop it cuz i dont want to drop it but i want the rims....???
i also went to a shop around me and found some springs and shocks...but i cant find a camber kit for my car???

I put 18's on my TL before I dropped it and it didn't look too bad, however after I installed Eibach's, it looked so much better.
Eibach's only lower your car 1.2" in the front and 1.1 at the rear, so it is not really that low.

i have my 2.5 on eibach with 245/17 and to me it looks like a monster truck, i think it should be atleast a 2" drop but when i got my springs they didnt have that kit available soo whatever , but im used to cars being real low tuckin rim( SE BMW)
and i think all cars should look the same

springs
You know a car lowered is sweet. My accord is lowered, and you know looks tight, but rides like ****. I am getting 18's for my TL soon too, and I am not gonna lower it. I don't care if you lower it just an inch, you will lose ride. Whenever you change stock, stuff is never as good or the same. Our TL's were built well, and the ride is phenominal, so I am not gonna lower it. 18's will fill the gap very well. Although TL's do look sweet lowered, but just my advice.

hey now, lets play nice children! 
mike's right though, you wont get the smooth ride as stock. i remember when i had my accord with the eibachs.....they ride JUST LIKE STOCK!!! stock ride in the TL is diff than stock accord so..... ground control uses eibachs so its not going to be that bumpy.. if you've ever been in a accord with stock suspension then you'd know its not that bad
