The car is already dropped on Teins H.Tech springs. Slight drop, but good enough for me. Makes for a very comfortable daily driver. . . not bouncy and smooth.

that's the beauty of springs for the TL it makes it look natural.

He doesnt need a big drop anyway ride would be too ruff for his kids.

It's dropped. I did it with my friend. Try putting 18's on your stock ride and you will see how bad it is. It was a 4 finger gap before the drop. Now it is a 2 finger gap.

Those are HKS Superdraggers. Direct bolt on. HKS does not make superdraggers for the TL. These are made for the accord that is why it does not stick out all the way. I can have my b-pipe modified but too much trouble. I use to have this set-up with Apexi b-pipe but that is a long story and I sold it to one of my friends.

On the TL the front end looks like that, I guess it's just the tires he used.

Nice ride, SSM is the way to go but I'm a little partial. Do you have before and after pics on the drop? And I will have to agree, the front end on the TL seems to sit a little higher than the rear when dropped. It's the same on my car. Not very noticeable in this pic but you get the idea.

Tein H.Tech only drop it about 1 to 1.5 inches so it is only a slight drop. The TL in stock form the front is higher than the rear. Don't ask me whay it is the way Acura designed it.
Plus I'm running 225/40/18 all the way around.
