Post your DROP specs..

Please post your drop specs here.

What kind Spring/Coilover?
Drop amount front/rear

That way if someone looking for lower their car, he will have quick reference. I am planning to drop my TL too later.

Thanks.

I see Tim has Comptech Spring for CL's 1.5/1.0 drop. Does anyone know if that'll fit on TL?

I want to lower little bit, not SLAMMED.

I think the ones for the CL are the same for the TL..

since our cars a bit heavier, we have more of a drop from it..

I measured it before and after I got them on my car..

F = 1.75
R = 1.5

I have H&R Sport springs F=1.75 R=1.50, I like the drop. There isn't much gap at all from the tires to the fenders.

But planning on dropping my TL-S a little lower because I want to completely kill the gap. Maybe H&R Race springs (drops F=2.2 R=1.75) or coilovers. I have a OEM bodykit so I'm still deciding....

Hey Paul, I have the H&R race springs. No wheel gap what so ever! :wow: As Evo says, front 2.2" drop, rear 1.75"

Evo, if you want lower, race springs will do it. But be prepared for a more bumpier ride. However, cornering is like your on rails! Just awesome.

Thanks Pat,

I am thinking about lowering just little bit, like an inch. So H&R sports or comptech will do.

I got Comptech's and they lowered 1.75 in the front and 1.5 in the rear. I also got slightly lower profile tires. Very happy with the look of my drop, definitely can't go any lower where I live tho, way too many dips into shopping places/driveways. I bottom out at least once per month but thankfully so far ive only scraped underneath the car, nothing visible. Damned cheap San Diego city council

some springs, like Comptech's, drop lower in the front...as for ppl w/ coilovers, I don't know. Does "raking" have any performance benefits or is it just for looks?
