Good cornering of TL!!!

LOL, I took a picture of my friend's TL when he was conering hard.
Look at the pic, not much body roll as you can tell...
He has:
Neuspeed Sport spring
Neuspeed rear sway bar (front coming)
Tokico non-adjustable shocks
Same wheels as mine!

I love the power of CL too... but I love the look of accord more. =)

Yup, 18" is not 'that' big... In my opinion, 18" is the "right" size for Accord or TL, 19" is big.

From that picture, it doesn't look like he was turning fast to see the cornering capabilities. He must have been going less then 15 mph during that turn, right?
If you want to see some cornering capabilities, then take a 45 degree turn going over 40 mph. Then you'll see if the TL can take turns.
BTW, since it is hard to tell in the pic, how fast was he turning?

i like the gunmetal rims.....if i had some extra cheese to blow then i would probably pick up a set. speaking of handling . just got my early birthday present, some toyo proxes fz4's and my car drives like a different car altogether. it is great. the michelins are crap.
i got them in 215/55.
