Vigor parts = 2.5 TL's
Legend parts = 3.2 TL's
Keep in mind that these are NOT guaranteed. There however similarities, so double check before you blow 500 bucks

I know that is true of engines Ken, but suspension and stuff too? I would think aside from spring rates that for the most part the suspensions on 3.2's and 2.5's are pretty much the same no? (And I could be entirely wrong here, just asking!)

The 3.2 and 2.5's have complete different suspension systems. Heck, EVERYTHING from the windshield forward in terms of mechanical parts is different.

Yeah... the rear suspensions are completely different as well. The 3.2 is biased for a more smooth ride (VERY smooth in fact). So there is a bit of body roll BUT... it still is fun to drive and has excellent steering feedback.
The 2.5 is more Honda-like, less body roll but severe bumps definitely hit you in the tush a bit more.

the 3.2's i haven't been able to find a match yet. The car that i thought was the closest would be the legend and I plan to check out my friends when he gets his new shocks. He just hates the fact that my tl rides soo smooth compared to his car

so all i know is that both the 3.2 tl and legend can share the same intake and the same struts, but how about the suspentions like the shocks and swat bars?

I doubt a legend sway bar will work. Both engine bays are nearly identical so thats why the strut bar will work but the removal of the engine cover is required. The intake works because these are both C32 engines. the sway bar is a different story because the entire suspension is different. a sway bar attaches to the axles. and im pretty sure the legend suspension is completely different and i hope to find out if im wrong or right pretty soon. I'm just waiting for when my friend to get new shocks so i have an excuse to tear apart his suspension on his legend.

if you guys want, you guys can contact Addco for their rear anti-sway bars. I doubt they have them, but if there are enough people interested (i'm not talking 15 people or so), then they will consider it. Since there are no bars for the TL, Addco will have to make it from scratch.
