What suspension upgrades or any other upgrades would you reccomend to enhance the tl-s. Comptech is usually what i want to stick with but other recc. will do.

 

for suspension i would either run the tein or a set of koni yellow and H&R sport springs. a would also get some sways.

 

this might be a stupid question but...if i were to get the shocks that fit the car stock and bought the comptech lowering springs, would that work? Are tokico illumina series 5-way adjustable any good?

 

a new car lol. but yes comtechs would work with a direct oem replacement shock such a koni/kyb/tokico

 

Does anyone know where do get just the tein shock for cheap? Springs?

 

Online searches are your best bet... I would recommend starting with the usual big players in the market, like www.optauto.com, www.coximport.com, etc.

Also contact the AZ Vendors, like Excelerate.


On the subject of autocrossing... I've personally never tried it, primarily because I don't think the TL would be a good car to autocross. It's big and heavy with a severely front-biased weight distribution which isn't exactly the best candidate for autocrossing. Instead, I would recommend road racing, like on racetracks, because the (relatively) long wheelbase and the weight of our cars provide quite a bit of stability over the shorter and lighter cars. I've done pseudo-autocross in other cars, and road racing in my TL. IMO, road racing is much more fun, and better suited for our cars.

But on a side note, i have auto crossed the TL and In larger tracks teh TL isnt that bad, on shorter ones its not the greatest

 

in short tracks it will kill your brakes and tranny instantly, i prefer long track

btw...sway bar, coilovers and good set of tires would work

springs are not recommened coz the body roll is heavy

 

upgrades for autoX = buy a sports car
