the drive is amazing, theres no bounciness at all... i was so surprised when i drove it for the first time because i was expecting the worst, but even with the stock shocks at over 115k miles, everything is smooth and sporty. best yet, its definitely worth the money.

as for the kit, there is nothing really on the horizon except the xs headers... i need to save some money for some body work (idiot ran me off the road when he u-turned in front of me, i hit about 4 of bob's fucking barricades)

Do You have your mud guards on up there in Canada? That is the only place I could think of with winters worse than the Northeast US.


Get Used To It, Ehh!!!!!

Thumbs up Nice drop!

How is the ride? I'm thinking about lowering my car but I'm afraid that I might lose the comfortness of stock ride. Do you have troubles with speed bumps?

nope, none at all. its ride very smooth, just a LITTLE rougher than stock when you get pavements that are uneven or construction on the highway. Other than that, the speed bumps dont pose any threat, but then again, i dont have a kit... either way, everything is much better lowered.

You have to have a pretty slammed TL to have trouble with speed bumps, springs wont ever cause an issue like this.

That's cool. Thanks! By the way, I just got my H&R sport springs yesterday from LacViet. He even hook me up with a set of bulbs for my fog lense. Man his ride was CLEAN! I will soon put these springs on but first I have to find a good shop that would install it for a minimal cost. I heard installation cost around $100-$150.

I suggest doing it yourself. Just find a friend to swindle into holding things for you. It'll take about 3.5-4 hours and you will save 150 bucks, at least. I'm not at home, so I dont have the link, but do a search and you will find multiple links to threads giving a step-by-step tutorial for installing lowering springs. The one I used is linked to someone's cardomain page, so keep a lookout for that one when searching. Good luck, hope its as good as I feel mine turned out.
