hey i'm new to the TL scene. got an 03 tl-s and i want to drop it but not sure what would be the best path? couple friends suggest i just go with springs since they are cheaper.

You will find that drop springs on stock shocks will wear the shocks out in a hurry
Good replacements like Koni yellow adjustable and springs will do well

Or drop a grand and go coilover!!

Welcome! Hope you enjoy modding the TL-S, I know I do.
The H&R Sport springs seem to be a popular choice for these cars, but it all depends on what you want to do with the car.

Yea it depends on how low you want to go.

If you want it lower go with H&R Race 2.2F/1.75R
Tein S.Tech and Eibach ProKit are 2.1F/1.7R
If you want just a little drop go with H&R OE

Coilovers for adjustable height
Tein Basic for height and Tein SS for adjustable height and damper

Well, as was mentioned, how many miles on the shocks? What are you goals? Set ride height drop? Adjsutable ride height? Adjustable dampening?

I hate when people say that. Thats not all true. Ive gotten over 80K on stock shocks lowered 2 inches and they hadn't worn out yet.

Well If I Were To Do This Again I Would Drop It On Tokico Illumina's And The Prokit.
It Was Low And I Paid Only 500 For Springs And Shocks. OH BTW ITS A SMOOTH SETUP LIKE STOCK MAYBE BETTER WITH A LOT BETTER HANDLING.
