dude u have 19's on ur car... i wouldnt suggest lowering it cuz you already have the least amount of rubber possible... and then if you lower it, ur ride is gona be EXTREMELY rough and bouncy... if i were you i wouldnt lower it.. you like me, a daily driver... sooo ur gona lose the luxury of a smooth ride... i lowered with Comptech springs and tokico illumina struts... the ride is still realLLY REALLY good... very smooth still... but then again, i still have the stock 16" rims with a lot of rubber... so be careful and get a lot of opinions before you choose... GOOD lUCk and post some pics i wana see

No matter what your going to lose ride quality. It will be funner to drive though when your taking hard winding turns. The Tein I've heard are really nice and comfortable for the daily driver especially. If you want to fork out $350 bucks you can get a manual dampering controller for the Tein but it's only the SScoilovers. I have the Eibach coilovers (Ground Control) I'm installing them tomorrow so I'll give you my two cents on them when I try them out.

yea i figured i would lose ride quality i just didnt want to be too bouncy i had eibach springs in my civic it had a pritty good ride and toke turns very nice but i think the pro kit will lower my car too low so i might have to go with the teins or h&rs if anyone has any pics of thier car wit the tein luxury masters please post pics so i can see how low they drop it thanx

That's why you get coilovers. You can adjust the ride height yourself that's the beauty in them. You just have to be careful while your doing it or you can really screw up the alignment. But I just installed my Ground Control coilovers on my TL today and it's is Awesome. It is a lot more sensitive but when your taking a tight turn or a merge exit on the highway it doesn't give at all. No rubbing (yet), so I am extremely satisfied with the Ground Control I highly recommend them.

I have 19's and a Comptech drop and the ride quality is not as bad as some people make it out to be. I thought it would be a lot worse with the comments i have seen on the board.

The Eibach PRO Kit will only lower 1.5. If thats alot then there really isn't anything out there that will lower less than 1.5. I had them on my Civic and before that I had the Neuspeed Sport (1.75). Big difference believe it or not. I would go with the Pro kit cuz ur not sacrificing much and the ride is very good. It's also made for cars to handle better and w/o sacrificing much ride quality. Never had H&R. Just speakin from experience.

the eibach pro kit lowers the front 2.1 n the rear 1.5 i figured that would be too low w/ 19s thats why i figured the teins cause they lower 1.5 in the front n 1.0 in the rear or the h&r front 1.75 rear 1.5 i have seen alot of people using the h&r n i like the drop i would like to do coilovers but my friends who owns a performance shop n he said not to go with coilovers cause their too bouncy n said to go with lowerin springs cause they wont be as bouncy as coilovers he also said that the eibach n the teins are made to work with the factory suspension so i wont blow out my struts i forgot him about the h&r springs if i put them on if i would eventually need struts
