do you want looks or results? if i was forced to pick one from the other, then i'd say sway bars.

ur ride will be a lil bit harsher, but pretty close to stock. and yes, your stock shocks will wear out faster, and eventually u will need to get them replaced.

you don't have to, but u can if u want, cuz the stock shocks will wear out faster, and u will need to replace it sooner or later. and H&R and CT is a good combo. actually i don't think the springs and sways are that related, so any springs should be fine. but H&R and CT do give you a good improvment in handling and looks, without sacrificing much ride quality.

I have to add that u'll need better tires than the OEM Michelins. They'll screech when u corner b/c the their sidewalls aren't stiff enough.

I'm glad someone mentioned this... I'll post to reconfirm it....

If you are going to get springs AND sways... get new tires. The stock tires will NOT provide the grip you need with both of these mods. If you are just going to get springs... you should be OK. Just sways are a little more questionable... but both should require new tires.... no question.

As I've posted before.... I have seen horror stories on here and acl.com with people who had stock tires and suspension mods. Stories from fishtailing, to spinouts... to accidents... b/c the stock tires do not provide the grip necessary.

FYI.... I have the H&R Sports with the stock shocks. The stocks will wear out a little faster with springs.. so you will need to replace them eventually... but you should be fine for a while.....

I just want to know if it is a clean drop? The H&R sports are a clean drop or what? I just want to see pics..thanks guys. Are they as smooth as the Eibach Pro-kit? Well just wondering before I go off and spend money on the Pro-kit, just wanted to know if the H&R are just as good, then I can save me some money for other mods...hahaha

Hey JuniorBean, just wondering where did you get the Injen intake from and how much? That is a short-ram intake, yes?

Check out my website... I just update my pictures about 2 weeks ago with my H&R drop. It's a nice even drop. I'm not too sure as to compared with the Eibach as not many people have them on their TL-S', but they are very comparable to the Comptech springs, which are the most popular ones......

the h&r is a nice clean drop. the eibach is a lil lower drop, but it sacrifices a lot more ride quality (according to elegant tl-s )
click on my sig for pix of H&R drop
