Springs/Tension bars for the trunk is so that the added weight from the spoiler does not slam down when you let it go. Also, it allows the trunk to pop up when you unlatch it. Without the springs your trunk will unlock but would not pop up.

You don't need new springs, thats BS. All they do is adjust your existing springs.

I was at that dealership @ 3 weeks ago test driving the 2001 TL. Walker Acura.
I drove a white TL with a spoiler. The interior was grey I think and I didn't like it.
The car was nice though.
Maybe I can go test drive the TL-S this weekend.
Thanks for the tip.

no i dis agree i got the factory spoiler and it came withthe springs and if i remember correctly the original springs were already adjusted to the max setting. the springs that come with the factory spoiler are stiffer than the orig. they arte a little difficult to install with ought the factoyr installation tool but i managed with a big pair of channel lock pliers.

I tried it but it still doesn't allow the trunk to pop up when released. I checked ahmotors.com and they sell the springs for around $43.
