Get Comptech Springs and sways they will reduce ur body roll and increase handling. the springs will lower your car by 1.75 in the frong and 1.5 in the back.

That is too much I think

Is that going to mess my alignment up at all, will the car still be able to be aligned correctly???

Also, 1.75 is more than I had hoped for... I was looking for 1.2-1.5 I dont want to be bottoming out at all or sacrificing the smooth ride I have right now...

Go with coilovers...wait till Tim's crew get's the Apex back in stock. Unless you have the money for the Mugen coilovers.

I've been running the Comptech springs and sways with factory struts and have never bottomed out. With the OEM struts the ride is still almost as smooth as stock. Has an alignment last week and the right rear was the only one they couldn't get within spec. Comptech does make rear camber kits for the TL so that might be an option.

Thumbs up Lowering Springs

Your have two options IMHO:

1. You could go the coilover route so you can adjust your height. Cost can become a major factor for a good coilover setup.

2. If you just want a 1 inch drop and want to save money...I would look into H&R O.E. springs. They drop your ride about an inch front and rear, Or you could step up to the sport springs from H&R which will drop your ride aprox 1.75 in the front and rear. The best thing is that they run aprox 170.00 bucks for the springs....


Good luck
