lol the only suggestion I have for you, which i shouldn't even be suggesting, is to go on eBay and search.

eBay usually has all the weird obnoxious 'fast n furious' types of body kits for all cars for dirt cheap. chances are you'll find one for the TL too. if you don't dig the A-Spec than i'm guessing that's the style you're looking for.

Like I have said many times before Ron has incredible wheels but his body kit for this TL is missing that "Wow" factor. There was only 1 guy on this forum who put a Ron jon kit on his blue type-s and it was crap.. No offense.


oh look I found the thread

Most body kits don't have the "WOW" factor. It is not supposed to, IMO, unless, you have different tastes and build yours like Accurateins.

If I had to choose between A SPEC or Ron Jon, it would be Ron Jon all the way. The "WOW" factor is the Ron Jon's uniqueness as you don't see it common. Picture don't do it justice. See one in person-- check member "dopefedz" he has a Type-S with front Ron Jon and rest A SPEC. Looks pretty bease to me.

And I don't know about you, but ELEGANT TYPE S has a beast Ron Jon TL. Just has to be done right.

RJ full kit, but if you don't like the rear, then go RJ front AND sides, because pour sides flow with our front perfectly, otherwise the RJ front will be 1.5" lower than the A-Spec. We literally added 1.5" more material and slightly changed the design of the A-Spec to make the RJ sides.

After you see the RonJon nose, you'll be underwhelmed with the Aspec nose....

alex i would do a drop first , if you can get coilovers because then you will be able to set the best ride height for your situation .

dude there is a million threads about this in the tire, wheel, suspension section. Search around, see what you like. Then look and read a lot of threads in the picture section. Instead of making new threads, you can PM members with the modifications that you like and ask them how and what they did to the car. Everyone is more than welcome to help, except when you make a new thread about something that's been beaten to death. Good luck to you

Alex, if you're looking for a simple drop (and you're happy with the ride of your TL), then do Springs. I got H&R Sports Springs because the stiffness of my Type S is fine.

If you're looking for better ride stiffness AND a drop, then go with something like Tein SS coilovers.
