Welcome to the board. I would lower it first, it helps in the handling department and it also makes the car look more aggressive.

depends on what kind of budget you have, and what your prefs are like. for instance, if you want better performance you might want to lower it, get sways, intake. If you want it to look more aggressive, then body kit and spoiler, clear tails, rims.

Good luck

Hey, whats up??? welcome to the board. IMO, I think you should go with cosmetic mods like spoiler, body kit, '02 tails and rims before doing anything mechanical. the mechanical mods lie underneath where no one will see them whereas the spoiler, kit, etc will bring out the sporty look of the car.

Do you guys think putting on intake/exaust takes away from the luxuary? I dont want to sound like my old GS-R. An intake on a V6 does not have that sound does it?

Welcome! It wasn't too long ago that I found this forum and started to modify my TL with alot of assistance from my fellow members

My first mod was purchasing Comptech Springs which lowered my car just enough to get rid of the awful wheel well space on the stock TL's.

Welcome to the board, Jessica! You'll will definitely find this site addicting. I'd go with the stereo first and then work my way outside.

I don't think the intake/exhaust takes away from the luxury factor of the TL, it sounds awesome with the i/e installed. I've never heard the sound of the GS-R personally so I don't know if it's louder or not, but I can tell u it's pretty loud after about 4K rpm.
