Before and after A-spec suspension installation

The top photo is a "before" view with a similar "after" photo. It's probably tough to tell in the photos, but it looks good in person. It does lower the car about .5 inch which is fine with me. Contemplating somes 19's now.

















And one final "after" pic

You can tell a slight difference, im probably gonna get the aspec drop in the future. Why get 19's i think the aspec wheels look great, the car looks nice and clean!

No the type s doesnt come with aspec suspension, the type s comes with different suspension than the regular tl's though which is a little stiffer, not sure if it is any lower though. But his car isnt a type s it is a regular 07 tl.

Ditto. Maybe you should go with some Koni shocks. They allow you to lower the car a tiny bit more while still letting you keep the a-spec springs. I've had the a-spec suspension installed on my car as well, but I didn't like it. I just felt that all it did was make the rear of the car sag a bit while keeping the rest of the height relatively the same.

Clean car though, I love white.

Yup, it is hard to tell in the photos. It's not real obvious in person either, but I have to say I do like it. It seems like the most drop was in the front - the place where I was most looking to fill the gap.

I'm looking at some 19 inch wheels now

It's difficult to tell the difference by just walking up to a car with the A-spec suspension on it, but when you are parked next to a TL with the stock suspension you can tell a difference. I came out from a store one day a few weeks ago and a TL with the stock suspension was parked next to mine and I could immediately tell that my car was a tad bit lower.

My plan is to keep them an extra set, switch to them one in a while as the mood strikes me. I like to keep the options open.

I'm may be the only person who feels this way, but I don't really like tinted windows on my car. I don't know why - it just doesn't work for me.
