the 03 TL-S has a fixed suspension and cant be lowered.. sorry to say..

you MIGHT be able to make it a little lower by cutting a coil or two or three off of the stock springs.. many have tried and failed.. you may be the exception..

look around for pictures of people's drop to get you an idea also.

https://acurazine.com/forums/2g-tl-tires-wheels-suspension-100/new-wheel-tire-specs-thread-pics-602066/

this thread shows some good examples as to drop amounts...

jjashaa, Nice list.

What years/models does this list cover? Just the '99 or all TL-P?

I just got B@G shocks/springs for my CL-S (said its for TL on box) so im sure its the same for the TL 's . I got it from Excelerate shipped for $460 for s/s and it lowered it about 1.5 inches. Check the 2nd gen CL-s forums wheels/tires section for my full review.
ride feels Stock ride FEELS GREAT! and car looks awsome, didnt get a aligment yet (had no time but prob will not need a camber kit car rides strait and feels GREAT!!
check out Excelates site, his prices are insane on the b@g SITE setup was over $700$

^ yea we do.. but people don't tend to go look at it.. thus the 5 billion threads on i wanna lower my car... and they don't explain how they want it or how low etc etc... this kinda gives them an idea of how low each spring goes and price range for each... lowest is what I'VE found and also a part # so they can go search on google....

+ this has the other springs available for us...

and josh has no life so hes able to do this..but to the op im running F2 coils and love them. IMHO you should just go with some coilovers instead of a spring and shock combo. You'll be paying a bit more but I think it'll be a better deal since you can adjust if you want.
