Proud new TL owner.. lets mod.
Just bought an 07 Black tl, gotta say I love it. Came from an honda ej6 with a b16, and an ek9 with an h22, feels good to be in a comfortable ride again, but the mechanic in me needs to add my own twist to this stock car.
I got my eyes on some 18" Emotion CR-KAI's but car needs to be lowered first. I work in the city and do not want to be worried about pot holes and all that.. just looking to get rid of some of the wheel gap. Whats the best SPRING out there for a STOCK/COMFORTABLE ride (i dont want to be jumping in my seat) with about 1-1.5 inch drop?
While I got the suspension apart, i want to upgrade the brakes, what is everyone using as far as pads & rotors? I was looking at racebrakes, yeh or neh?
And finally, where can I go to find the black eye lid covers for my headlights, a front lip, and the rear 'duckbill' that goes on the roof, right behind the antenna (seen in this thread= https://acurazine.com/forums/3g-tl-photograph-gallery-96/finally-got-chance-take-pics-total-ronjon-tl-633036/), and the side window visors?
Know this is a lot of questions, but i need to make this car hot(ter)..

TEIN S-Tech w/ TOKICO Blue shocks, it was a nice drop and pretty comfortable ride.

I made my own sidemarker cut out covers for the headlights... not tryin to take away from the man's business, but just sayin. Got a 24" x 24" sheet from rvinyl.com, $20 enough for heads and tails. Gonna do my tail lights tomorrow.
BTW, OP did you get moleskin with your tint... still trying to establish if I need to do this before I get mine.

For springs, go Tein H-Tech...the S-Tech are a little sportier and the H-Tech's are a little more comfortable. Pads...I say EBC Redstuff and Rotora slotted rotors. The roof spoiler is on ebay.
