i've always pondered what to do with my suspension.
with all the brands it's kind of confusing.
the two that i've constantly seen are neuspeed and tein.

any advice on what i should consider for springs?

springs? go HR Super Sport or Race. and make sure you get adjustable shocks to go with it or you'll blow a strut really quick.

coils? go FnF type 1 or 2

Fellow TL'ers
I am new to the forum and have just purchased a 2001 TL with 80,000miles on it. I have been debating on a few mods. Do you think a good debage would look good on this car or just leave it as it is? Any other suggestions are appreciated too.

I'd love some TSX rims, 04-05 are my favorite stock acura rims, save for the 99-01 TL rims (If only they were 17s!)

Mugen grill+OEM lipkit+clear headlights all in one day!

Alright everyone, so heres a pretty big update of whats happened with my ride over the past few days. Took a roadtrip out to SoCal to pick up an OEM lipkit and clear headlights from a great member on here (guess who). Had to say it was a crazy ass trip from Sac to SoCal. Stayed up 30+ hours straight with no sleep and was driving most of the way. Racked up some more miles as if mine couldnt get any higher . Installed the clear headlights and sideskirts cause the front and rear was gonna take too long. Drove back home, went to sleep for 10 hours, woke up, realigned the headlights properly replaced amber bulbs with clear and swapped back in my stock sideskirts. Then in the midst of all that a package comes for me, and hello Mugen grill who I picked up off another nice member on here and now its time to post some pics!



My mileage after the trip back.



Rear lip + front lip


front lip



Rear lip + front lip










sideskirts



again


whats in the package?!



Moo-gen byah!

Ok enjoy haha.
