Im thinking of changing my suspension and lowering my 99 TL for better handling on turns and just daily driving. What kind do you guys recommend? =]

I redid my whole suspetion for under $700 and it handle GREAT 3X better then stock and ride is still VERY comfortable.
B&G shocks/springs package $460 shipped from Excelerate
Progress RSB $140 from Heeltoeauto (comes w/polyurethane bushings for the back)
Polyurethane bushings for the front $25
Moog sway bar links $85 from rockauto so that equals $710 But it is a whole new car..
I work at a dealer so I bought them about 4 cases of hineken for all the installs.

I put KYB GR-2 struts on one of my cars a few weeks ago and I've been pretty satisfied with them.

If u r lowereing the car you MUST get new shocks... The car is 9 years old the stock shocks are done, and if u do put aftermarket springs on the OEM shocks u have on there now u r just gonna change the shocks out in a few months when they go REALLY bad why pay to do the job 2 x?? U dont reaqlize how bad the shocks are untill u change them cuz the shocks get bad gradully over time they dont just go bad overnight!!
wHEN i WAS LOOKING to do my suspention i searched tockio blues and Tien springs but thet was like $100 more then the B&G kit!!

If you want the best possible ride go with a full coilover....Megan,Ksport,Tein,Jic something of that sort. Springs and struts are good but they will never compare to the ride of a full coilover. Trust me...been there done that. You will be glad you went full.
