Got my Springs Installed (Pics)
Well, after months of debating, I finally ordered and had my springs installed. I decided on H&R Sport Springs because I wanted an aggresive look, yet I didn't want to look slammed. So here are the pics.
Before:

After:
<img src=http://images.fotki.com/photos/1/11892/44754/After3-vi.jpg?1003009665>
More pics are
here.
I love how the car feels when I'm sitting in it. I feel so much more stable being lower to the ground... and that's not even when I'm moving. Cornering ability is improved, but not as much of a difference as with the sway bars.
Oh.. and I also finally had my Goodridge Brake Lines put on. I paid $95 to have them installed. Did I get ripped off?
Here is a pic of the old brake lines:

Unfortunately, I can't say that I feel any difference in how the brakes feel. I guess they are better than the stocks from the safety point of view, so I'm not totally disappointed.

I like everything about these springs so far. (It's only been a day.) :P

I am going to get it aligned sometime next week. They didn't align it b/c the guy who does that wasn't in on Friday.
As far as the HID's, I think they are good as they are. I'm not blinding anyone and I can see the road at night, so I think they are ok.

why would you get the H&R's??? I mean... their nice and everything, but your TLS is supposed to be a showcar! Get something adjustable or at least something a little dramatic. C'mon now.

I may do the shock sensor soon though. Might as well protect my investment.
But next on the list (down the road a bit) are:
Sticky tires

I haven't had the car aligned yet, so I don't know whether it can be aligned perfectly or not.
I didn't measure the actual drop because I was too lazy, but I can measure how it sits now. I would assume that the stock measurements are the same (or at least close) on all CL-S', so we can get an idea of how big the drop actually was. Does anyone have the stock measurements? I think they were posted here at sometime before.
