Advice Needed Before Modding
Hey guys! I have 07 Acura TL base navi automatic. I'm fixing to do a lot of modifying the interior and exterior. I have everything for the interior now its the exterior. I need some advice on these. 1st.) I'm putting 19in STR 607 matte black stagger rims on mine and wanting to install coil over to lower it. Do I need to install coil over if I'm putting the 19in on? 2nd.) I'm install the EXH-UA7-R XLR8 exhaust system. Do I need to change out the header or anything? Btw I do have the type s front and rear bumper so I don't have to do any mod on the stock bumpers and I'm planning on putting Aspec kit on my TL too.

DO YOU NEED COILOVERS? no.
Do you want coilovers? yes.
get coilovers when budget allows, like any other modding...

What kind of coilovers should I get? This is my daily driving car.

for coilovers, buy the tein street advance and reuse your top mounts on your oem shocks/springs. or buy new top mounts preassembled on the coilovers through heeltoe.
wheel size doesn't matter for putting in coilovers, you could have 25" wheels if you wanted.
if you buy the xlr8 exhaust, it is true plug and play if you have the type s rear bumper so you don't need to modify any other part of the exhaust or bumper.

After installing just Eibach pro coils, TEIN SS & SA, on my 2007 Acura TL TYPE-S. I put the original Type-S Coilovers back on. Now they are worn out. Coilovers are Awesome. I don't suggest just coils- I have done this and it was a mistake. I don't want my car too low. I want a Firm/smooth ride. Now My car rides like a rock...

plug and play means you don't have to do anything else to make it to fit or get it to work. you take off a few bolts, remove the existing exhaust, put in the new exhaust, and put back bolts.

I picked them up for $780 or so shipped from HeelToe Auto, preassembled.

tein is one of the best for the TL, it's smooth. it's not stock but it's pretty close.

I just installed my Tein SAZ's two weeks ago. I really like the way they ride. You can adjust the dampening on them, so you can choose the stiffness of the ride that you desire. I have them set 6 clicks from stiffest and they feel good. Good bit stiffer than stock which makes the car handle much better, especially around corners. I really like them so far.

When I 1st got the TL (10 years ago) the best coil overs on the market were Tein Super Streets. The ride quality was amazing. They lasted 7 years before I replaced them. I'm currently on Tein Street Advance, which are in theory an upgraded version of Super Streets. The ride quality isn't AS comfortable as the super streets, but that can also be that setup was worn and felt better with age. The Street Advance is set to maximum stiffness and the ride is still great. My wife's Optima had ARK lowering springs on stock struts, the ride was down right shit. I purchased D2 Racing RS Series coil covers. They ride much better than Lowering springs on stock struts. IMO, Tein is still for me better. There isn't a lot of coil over support for my wifes car, if tein made coils for her car, I would have purchased them. I'm highly against lowering springs on stock struts. I did it once on my TL, I had Comptech lowering springs on the stock suspension, rode decent but hated the uneven suspension level. My Wife's Optima was a bit better on the suspension level with lowering springs, but the ride was garbage. I tossed that setup out the window shortly after. Get coils, good quality ones and call it a day. I will add, I had my wife's car stupid low, I raised it and the ride quality improved (Night and Day difference). I'm not too low on the TL, higher than my wife's car and feel the quality is still great. If I adjust the damping to softer, it might ride a bit better.

Cornering improved immensely over stock. However, the difference may feel less for you since my struts were bad. Cornering at speeds was sketchy with the stock struts blown. Car feels very planted now, so I now take those corners much quicker now.
