I lowered my 2002 tl type s on skunk 2 coilover and springs, idk what kind of shocks i lowered with, but the car rides like crap the alignment goes out prob every 30k and when i hit a pot whole it sounds like a gun went off it hits so hard and when cornering and hitting a little dip in the road the car bottoms out and its not that low just to the point where i have no wheel gap,
So just wondering if i should get new shocks and springs? if so what kind also can i still use the skunk 2 coil overs or should i just ditch them. i really just want to have a smooth ride but no wheel gap.
Im still learning my way around this car so input would be great thank

Also anyone every get better cornering with upgraded sway bars?

 

I'd go with Bilstein or Koni struts, or KYB if you are on a budget. I'd also go with H&R or Eibach springs and that will eliminate your wheel gap and give you a much smoother ride that what you are experiencing now. The upgraded way bars will help but i honestly would correct one problem at a time before changing the sway bars. I'd also recommend changing the front upper control arms if your car has higher mileage. I would only use the Moog "K" series and avoid the "R" or go with OEM Acura control arms.

 

Are the Moog "K" series a newer improved version of their control arms ?

 

The K series is the replacement for their CK line. I believe its the same thing as they only have two lines, a cheap one and the original line which is what their reputation is built on (K-Line).

 

Moog stuck one in the back door. Their cheaper alternative product may turn around and bite them in the ass.

 

Eibach pro kit system is extremely beneficial and gives you just the right amount of drop for a flush look rather than completely slammed. the full kit include sway bars, struts and springs for front and rear for only a little over 500 dollars a truly great upgrade. worth every penny
