Hello -

I picked up a 2000 Acura TL 3.2 in White Diamond Pearl yesterday.

I'm curious what the most common upgrades are? My other car is a supercharged BMW, I did all the work myself so I'm very comfortable working/building cars.

I'd like to drop it but keep the factory ride. I have some stereo equipment I'll be installing this weekend (3 10" Rockford HE2s and a Orion 250r HCCA Comp. Amp). Does the factory single-disc radio have RCA outputs? Or will I need a line-level converter?

Let the fun begin....

 

Welcome.

Most common upgrades are the Intake Header and Pulley. They yeild the most gains.


As for the radio, no there are no rca's on it. You will need a line level converter

 

What's the best setup for a drop with "factory-like" ride? Coilovers?

 

Tein H-Techs..about 1-1.5in trop and the springs are as stiff as Type S

As far as what mods you can do to the car...look in the 2nd gen member directory...

 

Are those coilovers or just springs?

 

I'm running HR sport springs and Bilstein sport struts on my BMW. I don't want anything that tight.

 

H&R OE and bilstein, are great (bmw has much different and firmer suspension to begin with) or a shock like a koni yellow that has a good deal of adjustability
