Hey I was looking for TL's online yesterday and accidently ran into this phat site.

I just bought a set of 18' rims for my 2001 TL the gap is outragious I want to get rid of that but not lose the nice ride I have. Im not going to be racing around just wanna look nice. What springs you guys think would work and not rub either??

3.2-TL

Comptech springs which are made specifically for ur TL. It will lower ur car around 1"-1 1/2". U won't really feel much of a difference in the ride but ur handling will be much better.

Yeah go for the comptech's if u want to keep a close to stock ride. Tim(snook) stocks them here at www.autocarparts.com

There are so many different sets of springs you can get, Comptech, Eibach, H&R, even coilovers which comes with the shocks, Skunk, Ground Controls, Apex'i.

Just click on parts on the left side of your screen, you'll get the listing and prices, you really can't go wrong with any of them.

I'm thinking of going with Ground Controls.

That was fast on the reply thanks alot but one last thing

have you guys had wheel rubbing problems with comptech

3.2-TL

If u got the right offset u won't have any problems lowering ur car, especially with the comptech drop being small.

18s are ok too

3.2-TL

Have u checked out the tire and wheel forum? They explain what the numbers mean and if anything peeps like adamyankee would help u out.

Also with the Comptech springs should I change my shocks too.

I rather not cuz wanna keep the price low but dont wanna kill the life of my shocks by installing low sprins

Have you guys done this and foe how long now?

you could go with 225/45 or 215/45 in a 17". make sure you get the right offset. i think the ideal offset for the '96 is +48-52. BUT, if you go with cheaper rims a.k.a. 1 piece knock-off rims, then youre not going to have really any luck getting those offset. theyre usually around +45 and lower.

I hope u got the rims that has right offset. or else be ready for some heavy rubbing

3.2-TL

The good thing about the comptech springs is that they were designed to work together with the TL's shocks

quick5hift

well I bought the new Verdict by Konig wheels they are nice rims. I just e-mail Konig to see I they would tell me the offset on these rims.

Is there anyone out there with 18's on their TL thats lowerd and have no problems with rubbin. what springs and wheels you got, so I can compare.

mr tl

they will definately wear the stock shocks out faster. might take a few years to get problems, but they will die much sooner than normal

thats the only reason i dont have them
