I am getting back $2200 from taxes on the 24th of this month. Intrax makes some springs that lower our car 1.7". Is that too low you think? My Accord is dropped 2.25", but I ain't lowering my TL that low. I was thinking 1.5". What you guys think?

go with 1.5".....that's won't be too low and it will looks nice....cuz my sis civic is 1.5 and looks very nice

i have the pro kit and the lowering is pretty subtle. most people don't even know you've lowered it unless you've got some rims. running on stock wheels, i have like two fingers worth of space between the wheel and the fender.

the rear of the my car looks really lowered because of how much my system weighs. people always ask me if my car is lowered. but its not.

unx979, i have two fingers worth of space in the rear too without the lowering kit. funny huh? i wonder what it would look like if i were to put the pro kit on?

no springs are made for our car thats 1.5" drop...unless you get coilovers. prokit is 1.3? sportline is 1.7?

Mikes96TL03CLS

Thanks for the info guys. I will probaby go with 1.5" or 1.7" I think Eibachs kit is 1.5"?

TLBaller

get coilovers so you can lower it to exactly the way you want it to look, when I lower thats what im gonna do.

what abouts some good ones go for?

Hey MIke you can get GroundControl coilovers for labout 400. Thats what i got on my ride kinda stiff than stock but u know thats what you get with aftermarket

Mikes96TL03CLS

ok thanks 3.2TamLe! Looks like I'm ordering the prokit in couple days. The 1.5" drop. Hey we should meet up sometime since your so close.

TLBaller

yeah coilovers can adjust the height that you want but the downside of that is that once you get the height you like, you should align your car so your tires dont lean to one side and wear out one side of your tires.....you'd have to buy new tires like 2-3 times a year. once you get your car to the height you want and aligned.....if you raise or lower your car after its been settled, you'd have to get it aligned again at the new height. its such a hassle and the ride isn't as smooth. i just prefer springs b/c you can just install it and not mess with them no more.

hey, prokit drops the car 1.5"? i think its 1.3 mike maybe 1.5 after it settles in for about a year
