Coilovers bad for your car?! Billstein coilovers?
Hey guys-
I went to a random ricer shop here in Dallas today and was asking about springs and coilovers. The guy at the shop gives me the run around and tells me that coilovers are not good for such a heavy car and just told me to get springs. I kinda think he was doing this b/c he does can't get the coilovers but I don't know. Anyways, does anyone know if Billstein makes coilovers for our cars? Thanks a bunch guys.

He is in part correct. Cheap coilovers would not be able to support the TL's weight, especially in front. Believe me, I learned the hard way. That is why I am now running on Ground Control coilover's. These are designed for the TL and they ride just fine.

They have Bilstein coilovers for our TL. However I am not sure if there is a lcal supply/distributor in NOrth America..I assume so..but I donbt know. I believe ValueTL can get them from Japan if you want.
