Post Tein Lowering Springs ?

I was thinking about lowering my car. I don't want to slam it to the ground, so I want to purchase Tein 99-03 ACURA TL H.Tech Lowering Springs SKA34-BUB00.
These springs lower the car 1.5 in front and 1 inch in the rear. If anybody has any picks of their ride that they can share with this lowering adjustment please send me a pic.
Thanks

i searched for a while and i havent been able to find any decent pictures. honestly you will barely notice the drop.

but if you are considering other spring/coilover options, here is some helpful info:


i have Eibach Pro Kit and i am nowhere near slammed. H&R Sports will be another great option for you

if ur gna go wit tien's go with the s-tech.
i had them on my 07 accord and i had 20's on it and it was pretty low.
im in da same boat as you lol
i jus got a 03 aspec dunno what to put on it cuz i have a full lip kit.
im thinkin bout going with the H&R sport springs.
a lil stiffer gives a good amount of drop.

Tanabe makes a NF210 spring that only lowers the vehicle 1.5" F&R on the 02-03 TL and 1.3" F and 0.5" Ron the 99-01 TL.

If you're interested in the set we can drop the price too. Just PM us for a promo code.

Here's the link to the TEIN springs:

Thanks all. Appreciate the links and the feedback. I'm still unsure, so I guess I'll take a little more time to decide and research. This winter so far was brutal on these NYC streets. There are many potholes out there looking to get me. At the same time, I have a budget as well. My choice if I had the $$ would just be coilovers.

agreed. this winter has been extremely brutal on all my cars. my TL has bottomed out several times now due to potholes. i am lowered a little over 2 inches in the front and 1.75 in the back.

even my Forester has been showing some war wounds.

you dont necessarily need to especially because youre only dropped on H-techs. if you were dropped lower it would be a good idea.

imo only get the h techs if you are limited to how much you can lower. The front is way to high, the rear sits nicely. 19's look silly with h techs. These pictures are with h techs, afterwards I lowered the front another inch - now it looks good (no pics)
