How are the shocks? Looks better driving down the road!

 

Hey Kris if you arent too busy would you log onto msn messenger for a min I wanted to ask you some questions

 

are you talking to anyone in particular kris?

 

Yes, 2003tl-s

 

Much much better. Went and got an alignment right away and the front toe was off a little. The only thing they weren't able to adjust, since we don't have a stock rear camber adjustment, the rear camber is at 1.1, which although is right out of spec, should be ok. Drives absolutely great, a real little bit stiffer than stock, but its to be expected. Couldn't be happier right now. For those that don't know I went from stock to H&R Sport Springs and Tokico Blues.

Thanks for your help on my beast of a car that has yet again tried to fight the mods that I want to do to it. Yet again the Oracle of Zine prevailed

 

post some pics of your car

 

yea you should be fine with 1.1

Glad you like it.

 

I wanna see pics!

 

I need new shocks as well, I'm already riding on h&r sports. Ive been doing a lot of reading up on here, about what to get and it seems that tokico blues are the best way to go, because i don't want too pay 1300 for tein ss coilovers

 

Me 2

 

I will try to get some pictures tomorrow, should be nice out and I need to wash her anyway.

 

What is the drop rated at for those springs?

 

1.75f/1.5r

 

Nice, that seems to be a good compromise between reducing the gap, and OE ride quality.

 

ya but u can say goodbye to your ball joints .

 

Why is that?

 

Here are a couple quick pictures I took today:

 

Looks nice, will probably settle a little lower.

 

looks good!

 

ooo nice, drop always works on our cars.

kris, i thought you were referring to 2003 Acura TL-S owners in general lol

 

Nope, last time i checked our cars cant go online and post

 

thats a perfect drop right there. Looks just like the drop on my comptech springs. We could be twins man.

 

perfect drop, looks clean as hell..

cant wait to get my springs!

 

This makes me sad to look at my car all jacked up again... I have to buy new shocks anyways (after paying $200 to have my stock ones reinstalled, all four are leaking like crazy), so I'm going to be dropped again soon enough.

 

Out of curiosity, how have you found the body roll to change from stock during cornering?

 

To me it seems like a lot less body roll. Now let me say though that previous to the new setup I was on the stock shocks and springs and I had 101000 miles on those, so these are in incredible upgrade. I can consistently take corners at much higher speeds and all 4 tires stay planted and sure footed.

If you are really looking to minimize body roll, yes this will help, so will making sure your RSB endlinks are still ok, as well as if you have $150, upgrading to the the 3G TL Progress Technology RSB, from what I hear will help a lot as well.

 

Sweet, thanks for the input!

 

It takes care of alot of roll, but sways will help as well

 

I don't see any pics... wtf?

What sways do you guys get? Was thinking of getting the Comptech sways, but does it matter what kind of springs and/or shocks you use... is one brand preferred over another when matching them???

 

Pics of what?? Just the pics of my drop are in post #17. I don't have aftermarket sways on my car, but if I were to, I would only do the rear, and would most likley get the 3G TL Progress RSB. Do a search you will find comparisons to the comptech rsb.

 

Only spring i would use is H&R unless i went with a full coilover, then i would go Tein

 

The H&R are great, I've had them on my car for about 4 yrs now and still love them. I have them paired with the Tokico Blues and the ride is fine. A little more aggressive than stock but doesn't make your teeth chatter everytime you go over a bump.
So I take it the 3G Progress sway is a direct bolt on for our cars? There is no modification needed to make it fit? Does anyone have any input on the Eibach kit? I haven't heard anything bad about it.
