Well after driving the car for a week, I feel like swapping the springs with the H&Rs. A-specs are good but doesn't give a lowered look to the car. The tires are 235/48/18, the wheels are 8 inch wide with +42. Is this likely to rub the fenders or liners on H&R springs, and how about if there's 4-5 people in the car ?

Not very likely with 8". Aspec struts will help too to keep from compressing as much.

Surprisingly the tires are almost flush with the fender maybe 2 mm inside. I guess there's only one way to be sure. But if it does, I'm going back to A-specs. There's no way Im gonna roll the fenders on the RL unless it only rubs only the inner lining, that could be something I could work on. I did roll the fenders on my 03 TL-S, it didn't look very clean.

I wish you didn't post this pic. Cooled seats was on accessory that I really wanted in my next car and I had to forgo that option with the RL. I didn't realize it was even available at all. Ignorance was bliss.

Sell it and come shopping north of the border. I must say it wont be easy finding one
But if u do find one, its easy to close the deal cuz there's no buyers for this car cuz nobody knows they exist.

I had tossed around the idea before of retrofitting the '09 blower into my car. I don't see that ever really happening though.

So I took my car in today for Master Cylinder recall. My service technician, lady, was surprised to see a RL. I picked up my car after work n I noticed the AFS warning light was reset but came back after a while. I called the dealer back to see if they had pulled the code but the S.T. said the pulled no code, it must have reset due to battery disconnect. I transfered to parts guy for a quote for stroke sensor, he too sounded amazed by the car. He asked me if its about the A-spec RL they serviced today and said its beautiful. I guess my car is one in thousands in this area.

Back to point, I got a price of around 340$ for the sensor. I know somebody here bought it online for less than 200. Anyone knows where I can get a hold of that ?

Mine comes on 15 secs after every start. Although the right projector swivels to the right on startup, it never does while driving. Hence, I assume it must be this sensor.

The problem is that the parts catalog in some cases doesn't use the same terminology that the service manual does. In order to locate the part, I went through the service manual diagnostics to get a picture and location of the part, then traced it back through every sensor listing in the parts catalog until I found it
