Weapon R coilovers seem very nice. $250 too.

Thus no one that I know have them on the TL. My friend just got them for his maxima and they look very nice. I'll have some feedback after we install them.

If you're willing to spend some $$ you can always get the tien coilovers.

I have GROUND CONTROL coilovers...installed it about a month ago...and it sucks...its better than springs...because you can adjust the ride height...but thats about it... now I need yellow koni shocks...which would cost nearly $600...and my GC coilovers were like $300 something...

if you got the money....go buy the tein set...groupbuy on www.**********.com

go to TL forum and search for tein group buy...and while your there...search for camber kit specials by Jimster...(i think)...because you need CAMBER!!! espeically rear....

unless you want new tires ever 2 months...

I think you broke a posting rule. You can't shameless advertise for another website for example...if I keep telling people to visit acura-cl.com. Out of curiousity, can the moderators please post up the rules, I myself need to read them also. Visit acura-cl.com...hehehe..j/k

TLRIDAH, would you need a camber if you dropped on comptech or H&R springs?

I have the Apexi's and they are great. If you got the $$$ then choose from the following:

-Teins
-Zeals
-NEX
-Apexi

If you're going to get the coilovers, make sure to get the adjustable ones.
Hey Binh, Apexi is non-adjustable, right??

I hear the H&R springs are somewhere like 30% stiffer than stock...but I have no numbers or experience to back it up. My Comptechs are bouncy than stock already and it isn't even that low, granted that I am using stock shocks.
