So far, she has handled alot better than before. There is a nice firm feel and control with the road now, and I like it! Maybe sways later on, but for now, this is it.

Do you mean how much it dropped? Or how high it is of the ground? Because I didn't get out my ruler to measure that.
But the drop was around 1.5 for front and back. Now I will just wait and see if it settles any lower.

So, where did you end up getting it done? I am looking at some mods in the near future, and I need someplace besides the dealer, since they obviously have nuclear physicists working in their garage, based on the rates they charge.

I am thinking about adding the sways first, since I hear that they give you the most improvement in handling. I like the springs, but I am a little concerned about the car scraping with the body kit and lower springs.

comptech springs

hey
congrats on the springs! i know the car handles better with them, but did you feel the extra horses? I hear you get an extra 25 horses with them. Is that so?

Also, how much (if you dont mind my asking) did you pay for them?

Da big Choice

Havin a hard time makin up my mind on Rim selection.
I like the Volks selections, but saw the Giovanna Corsicas in chrome on the TL site. They look just enough understated to look nice, but not overkill if you know what I mean. I think they would look real nice on a WDP TL-S.
May I have some opinions, and can anyone tell me about the quality of these rim??? Appreciate any help.
Non-related to Rims. Anyone else think this Acura-Bose audio system sucks?? Real disappointed in it's quality. Got a self install
Kenwood CD set up in my 4X4 TOY sounds better....

WDP/Ebony Non-nav TL-S
Picked up 8/17/01.

He bought them right here from the site. Go to the Tire and Wheels section on the top of page.
And when you buy tires and wheels together, you get them mounted and balance them for free

You can pick out tires on www.autocarparts.com

That is one thing I don't have here on the site yet, is all the different tires.
Tires are about the same price as Tire Rack

Yup!!! Got them from Tim!! He was really cool about any questions I had, and was very responsive to my emails! I would definitely order my stuff from him again!! He is a classy guy, and has damn cheap prices. And most of his tires are cheaper than tirerack.

Thanks again Tim!

and the rims run about $230
