TL-IGHTS

I am inches away from buying these springs. My car has 18x7.5 +45 wheels on it. What additional problems will I run into after I install these springs with the stock shocks and struts? I am guessing camber? I need a response fast, because I need to send this guy the money.
Thanks a lot guys,
Matt

18x7.5 +45 you should not have any rubbing issue. if you do you'll need to roll your fenders+cut tabs. camber depends on car setup. Most car would not need it. But if you have a sub at the back then you may want to get the camber kit

shocks will wear out faster when lowered, that goes the same for H/R or CT. Just need to get some better ones down the road. It's not really an urgent thing unless you are very picky about ride quality

It was even softer than my stock springs so i got some kyb shocks and rear low strut all good now and got a alignment for like almost $300 bitches wanted almost $200 at acura just to take out the bumper because it was to low for there rack I didn't want to but it was and hour and had to go to work away so next time i take it of my self

if you are getting the h&R 50103 they are still on backorder

r u positive that is the number for H&R sport springs for the TL?

I am going to double check with the shop that is installing them on friday. they were supposed to arrvie today...

TL-IGHTS

No, I'm getting the others, but from someone on this board.

the 50103's are the new ones made for the TL only....people that had the older ones had problems I believe.

No not problems, only that they are designed for the accord and tend to drop the rear more on some cars because the TL rear is heavier. Same problem with H&R OE.

I just sorted out some of the misunderstanding. the H&R springs that are made for the TL are black in the front and grey in the rear, if the rear springs are black they were made for the Accord, (it is lighter in the rear), if the black springs are installed in the rear a stock TL will sit even, if you have a system the car will sag in the rear. So with the proper (black-front, and grey(gray)-rear) springs the car will be able to hold a system without sagging the rear lower than the front. I was told it was the OE Sport springs for the rear with the regular sport springs for the front.


I just confirmed with the guys installing my springs. I have them going in tomorrow at 10:30am and it should be only an hour and a half for the install. I can't wait. The handling on the TL (not the TL-S, never driven one) was one of the things I noticed right when I bought the car. It was good, great for a luxury family sedan, but my last set of wheels was a '99 S-10 SS, sport suspension, and low to the ground (like the Xtream package, but without the bodypackage) that truck could take a corner at 70km and an on ramp at 140+. so when getting into my "new" car that was one thing I really missed, the stuck to the ground feeling going through turns.

If you really want handling forget about springs, get sways they are 80% of the handling improvement.

I wouldn't have believed it until I drove a car with Comptech springs only (mine) and one with Comptech sways only. Big difference! I was actually able to achieve a 4 wheel drift on the car with sways (yes, it had crappy stock tires on it)

hmmm so with my system Comptech springs or the "TL" HR Sports should achieve a pretty even drop?? That is obviously the main concern...
