Lowering the TL

For those of you who have done it yourself, how hard is it to drop the car??

Depends on much you want to lower the car but I have Eibach Sportline springs and I like it. Rides a tad stiffer over bumps and stuff but still is a nice smooth ride. It looks aggressively low but doesn't bottom out and rims don't rub. If that's 2 much, go with the Eibach Pro-Kit...

Good Luck

If you never lower your car before, I would recommend a shop to do it. Because it takes some time and you need a spring compressor and tools.

Listen to TypeSDragon. Messing with a compressed spring is not for the beginner. If a spring compressor pops off, the expanding spring can kill you.

str8acura,

I have the stock shocks. I was told there really isn't a dif except fo the price. Besides, I don't want a stiff, race-inspired feel, I prefer the smoothness of the stock. Although I must admit, I think the stocks prematurely wear b/c of the springs but it doesn't matter to me--it's worth it.
