So I have a Acura TL-S 2002 and I just got some H&R racing springs. I'm about to put them on this weekend with my buddy, do you guys recommend getting struts or just putting them on my oem struts?

If so, which struts do you recommend?

Also pros and cons of getting new struts?

Thanks!

 

YES, Get New shocks. Especially if yours are original. I recommend searching the forum a little in the (Tires, Wheels,Suspension) Area (where the thread was moved to) There are many good options, just depends on what you want to spend. I personally recommend Koni or Bilstien, but there are other less expensive alternatives.

 

Get new shocks! Koni Yellows or Tokico Blues for lowered cars..
OEM style will die faster even with the little drop H&R Springs gives.

 

original struts + lowering springs?? asking for bad time--TRUST ME :P

i say get the struts + springs installed all at once...saves a headache later on

 

USE POWER TOOLS! this will help out incredibly and save you tons of time. you can do it with hand tools but you will be sore. I just installed springs on mine. it's an easy task. you should install new shocks with it to save the hassle but if you dont mind doing it again, go for it.

 

OP, its possible, but it all depends on your drop. If you keep OEM shocks, it'll work, but then they will wear out incredibly fast. Just get the Koni Yellows. Do it right the first time.
