I just my TL lowered with the Eibach Pro Kit. It looks really good. It lowered the car approx. 2.1" in the front and 1.5" in the back. Hope this helps. By the way, the shop dude told me it would lower the car 1.1" all around.

Ride quality isn't affected in a smooth road, but if the road is bumpy then it will be a problem , that's why you need aftermarket shocks here, and if you have body kits , there's a huge problem when you're descending a road. At a speed more than 10 mph it most likely will scratch your kit.

Look at the pix of my TL. I have the H&R 1.75" drop. The car still rides pretty nice, of course it's a lil bumpy at times. But I like how it looks and handles.
