3 years is a long time to wait but its good to get really bored of the car in stock form before you start modding it.

Go look at a TL without a drop now... it will look like a true SUV....

It's taken me 4 years now; and I'm still on stock springs. I dare not drop it if I want to continue to see the front lip spoiler. My wife has already scraped it several times...drop the car and she'll lose it altogether.

i like the ride better than stock. i haven't had any problems yet with clearance. well... funny thing happened today. I had my car detailed, you know, everything, high speed buffed and all. My car looks better than it has in a while, and as i cruise around, my tranny slips. Again. I've already replaced it @ 38000. now i'm @71000. i think acura should do a full detail after they're done replacing the tranny, right? cuz now it's going to sit in the dirty/funky ass shop for a week. oh well. it's riding okay for now, but first thing monday i'm dropping it off. This sucks.

The old ones did. The new ones dont though...too bad I have the old ones (1 is starting to rust). Oh well, still looks good and I got them for cheep on here, so when they bust, Ill get the HR's or the new Comptech - I will never ride at stock height again!!!!
