Red face springs for raising an 02 Tl

i put some 20' on my acura and its sweet but i got rubbing in the back. it rubbs badly with my box in back. i took out the spare and box and put spacers in back. It rides better but rubs when i hit dips or pot holes. I was told that groundcontroll sales springs that will raise the car 0-3". is this my best bet? im not concerned with how much i have to pay. can anyone help me i dont want to sell my dubbs.

why would you want to raise your TL since it's a 4x4 already? what's the width of your 20" cause that might be what's making it rub

your rims don't fit right, that is why they rub.

I would suggest not putting 20s on it, or finding the correct offset.

The other day, I was rolling through Pep Boys in the suspension section that they have these things that fit between the coils(like spacers) and it will lift it about an inch high. It is about ten bucks.

Let me desciribe it a little better. It looks kind of like an candy bar about an inch long. It has grooves for the coils to rest/sit on both sides. I think it is metal.Looks metal. I don't recommend it, but it is I guess an alternative.

Do your research FIRST. You need the correct offset and width. Dont always believe what the guys in the tire places tell you.
