Just got H&R coilovers installed on 07 TL-S!!!
So I know one of the guys at PerformancePalace.com and they set me up with the head honcho at H&R - long story short, they needed a guinea pig to test fit the different springs and coilover kit on an 07 TL Type-S so I gladly let them use mine. What I got in return was a brand-spanking new set of H&R coilovers on my new(ish) ride!!! Pics soon...no digi cam (I know, how ghetto).
The ride is nice! It seems smoother than the factory ride (not as abrupt over road imperfections) and it certainly handles way better. Lowered about 1.5 inch in the front and 1.2 in the rear (I think....) Sits right above the tire - basically no gap, but also not tucking.
Yay for free coilovers!!!
And thanks to H&R and PerformancePalace.com!!! (The site is ghetto right now, but my buddy said they are going to be carrying all the new Comptech stuff when they crank it out...)

Let us know about those H&R's because we've been on the fence about those and the teins. I'd personally like to get H&R's instead. I have an 07 base and my boy has a 07tl-s. We're all rocking WDP's. Holla back homeboy.

BUT...ain't nothin wrong with TEIN's! IMO you can't go wrong either way, but the Japanese stuff is always more 'spensive. The H&R's ride NICE tho...like, the factory set up is pretty abrupt when u hit a shitty road, or earthquake rivets (I5 around UW or past the Tully's building)...but on the coilover set, it is much smoother, and when u dip in a corner, it has WAY less body roll. (Dissappointing how much body roll the base TL-S has, for being a SPORT model).
So, the long and short of it is.....FACTORY SHOCKS SUX.
Just change em.

I know the Tein SS are common on the board but it would be nice to see if someone has tried those cruising master coils. Good lookin on the info on the coils man. I go to UW so I'm sure you'll see mine rollin around.
I go to UW too...you'll see mine around for sure...you'll see the 12,000k headlight first tho..

Yeah, I'd been down for a photoshoot. Nice to know there's another 6-speed out there. FYI I actually work for Acura, so I know how little of those they make. My buddy has a ASM 6-speed also. But NBP and WDP are prolly the hottest, and CBP

Is the H&R for the 04-06 non adjustable like this one? If it is I'll get those, I really don't feel like tampering with the suspension, just want an out of the box better ride.
