i was wondering about the Sportline springs(2.6/2.3 in.) drop.. is it too low for the TL-S?

and how long would the maximum amount of time i can ride on my stock shocks/struts with the drop?

Wow...that does sound pretty low...I guess it depends on what you like...slammed or modest. I believe there is a 3inch gap in the front...not sure about the rear...well that was what it was on my car. I did Comptech Springs and am quite happy with the ride and performance. Keep in mind of ride quality also...the lower you go the more bouncy it will be. Well it also depends on what kind of rims you want also.

Hey,
HOw much are those springs. If they are close to three bills then don't get them and get skunk 2 coilovers. I bought them for $310. With coils you dont have to worry about them been to low and been stuck with them. Adjsut to your height that you like and if you get rims them its more flexable that way

Well brand new the CT springs run $275.00 from www.autocarparts.com, there was a group buy at acura-cl.com for $251.00 (http://www.acura-cl.com/forums/showt...threadid=69882). You can try calling the store and seeing if they are still offering the price. Keep in mind with the CTs, you will not need to worry about cambers...which can cost quite a bit. If you really like coilovers...I would suggest the Tein Coilovers, but they may seem pricey, keep in perspective that if CT springs cost you $275.00 and Koni adjustables cost atleast $500 or $600, your spending about $700 or $800 and might as well go with the Teins for $900 which comes with the spring and coilover and allows to adjust your own height. Now let's say you get the Eibachs Pro-kit for $209.00 and the Konis for $500 or $600, plus you would need a camber for rear costing $175.00 at Comptechusa.com that comes out to $884.00.

P.S. No offense, but the Skunkworks2 suck. My friends all had them and they are boucy as hell! Even with Koni and Tockico shocks. With the CTs, there is only 10% increase in stiffness compared to 30% with Eibach and other springs.

For those who have a coil-over setup....did you also purchase a camber correction kit?

I wonder about that too...especially for the Tein coilovers.
