Which suspension setup is better...

I'm having a hard time deciding what kind of shock/spring setup I should put onto my 02 TL-P. I was thinking about getting the Koni shocks w/Eibach Sportline Springs (2.6/2.3 too low?) or any other spring suggestions? I'm just looking for a huge drop, I don't think the Comptechs can cut it. Sacrificing the plush luxury that the TL-P comes with stock will be ok as long as ride comfort isn't totally thrown out the window. Also, do any of you out there have the Apex'i N1 coilovers or the Tein SS Coilovers? How's the setup and what's the ride height adjustment? I would want the B&G one that's on the TL store in here, but they only have a kit for the 1st gen TL. Even information on the Ground Control and Skunk2 coilovers would be welcome...anything! THanks.

I think your best choice is TEIN if you want that dropped to the ground look.

I also would choose the teins. You could go really low and also have a very nice ride.

TEINS all the way but they pretty pricey but well worth it as i hear. HehhE im saving up for it . . . HehhE i heard they got a group buy over in the cl forums for the TEIN SS suspension for 850.

Teins are good. I have never heard a bad comment about them. Forget about Ground Control - lots of complaints about them. With coilover, you get what you pay for. I think 2.6"/2.3" drop is too low - you're gonna scrape with that drop, esp if you have a kit. Consider H&R Race springs (2.2"/1.75") which will totally get rid of any wheel gap (I have H&R race springs in my TL). However, you may have to reconsider using Koni shocks with H&R cause I heard the ride gets too stiff, but becomes OK after the Konis wear out a bit. Hope this info helps.
