Question Should I get springs?

Hey guys,

Awesome forum! New so be nice. Below is my car. Should I lower it? If so which spring should I get. I live in So. Ca. What's the best place in term of price and quality?

Thanks for replying

I'm also thinking of getting foglights for it. Should I put them where the inside circles are or the outside ones? Look below.

Thanks for replying

Try it again. All I see is a x.

BTW, yes you should lower it asap. You have a TL, not a 4x4.

you can also go to www.acurainspired.com

request a photo album from copland007, he'll hook you up & he is a member of this site too!

as far as the springs. it's really up to you. IMO, the car looks much better when you get rid of the big gap in the front wheel well. I'm ordering my springs soon. Probably going with the H&R OE Sport, because of the driving I do, I don't want to be too low. So .5 - .75" drop is just right for me.

There are many choices, so...do some searching on this board for other member experiences and opinions. You'll find more info by searching than waiting for someone to reply to your post. (Only because this subject has been dicussed over and over again since this site began.)

The springs are $144 shipped from groupbuycenter.com and I'll probably take them to a shop I know in Mira Mesa (not sure where in SO Cal you're at, but it's in San Diego if you're not familiar) ~ Mira Mesa Auto Techs.

Are you going to the SoCal meet this Sat???? check my sig for the link.
