Can anyone drop this for me or is it gonna be too hard?

 

all I can say is "a dropped TL looks better than a stock TL" IMO. so just get it lowered

 

^X2....jus drop it and u wont wanna be riding high no more...do a subtle one like H&R or Tein....Eibach isnt much lower but it is noticable...2.1F 1.7R

 

^^^ word. Theres no way you wont be happy with the way your car looks with a drop.

 

Ill go ahead and predict what youre going to think if/when someone chops the drop for you..."man, I need a drop.." lol

 

just go through the photo sections, theres way too many pictures of dropped cars...

 

it will look like this.. i promise.

well since nobody is actually doing the chop, i went ahead and did it for you

 

^^^WOW...don't drop your car, that looks like crap





jk

 

Damn, I wanna freakin drop so bad but dont got the money for coilovers and I don't think just springs are a good idea for Chicago.

 

^huh?!??!....that doesnt make sense....a drop is a drop wether coilovers or springs...yea u can adjust with coilovers but what does that have to do with the roads?

 

^^you would be fine rollin around on H&R or Eibachs around chicago IMO..

 

what kind of coils are you saving up for...

with springs.. how many miles are on your original shocks?

are you gonna buy new shocks for the springs?

how much are you gonna spend total on the springs and shocks?

why not just get coilovers if you're gonna get springs and shocks cuz its about the same price.

what is the max you'd spend?


so many questions...

 

Plus I've got a set of H-Techs in the BM...

 

great way to put it... agreed, if your gonna spend money on springs AND shocks just get coilovers for a few extra bucks

 

Well, I was thinking about getting just springs on my stock shocks but I heard that its not good to put em on there. I don't know if the previous owner ever changed the shocks but right now my car has 93k on it.

 

The previous owner probably never had them changed. Just play it safe and buy some shocks and springs...or coilovers

 

Yeah that's what I was thinkin too.

 

go shopping..

write down prices of what it is and which site along with shipping costs...

shock w/ spring etc etc

and then coilovers...

compare prices and stuff. choose cheapest and there ya go.

 

baaahh humbug.. stock shocks are fine.. i have a set with 200k on my accord dropped 3 inches..

 

Eibach on Stock Shocks here....

 

^me 2 but not for long

 

im out here in chicago with eibachs and tokicos.... dont trip man just keep your eyes peeled for the big pot holes

 

^u mean Moon Craters....those things are awful in Chicago man....

 

lmao tell me about it man

 

^ok....man those Moon Craters are something else....when we were driving down there for the meet even the HWYS or better yet teh RAPE TOLL WAYs were bad....i mean cmon all that freaking money they get from tolls shoudl be more than enough to fix those damn roads...

 

How long have you guys been running those? I heard that its inevitable that the stock shocks will go out soon with aftermarket springs on em.

 

5 years one one car.. 7 months on the TL so far.. no issues...

 

^^why take a chance on that? I mean if you have access to a shop where you can get free alignments and dont mind breaking everything down again-go for it.


OP: That high mileage youre probably due for shocks anyways especially if the roads are like everyone says they are up there. I didnt think my shocks were all that bad until I took them out and saw how weak they were. (@125K)
