Approximately 2" in the front and 1.5" in the back. Parked next to other TLs on the the S-Techs, I've noticed that my car sits a bit lower. I'm not sure why. I have about 50k on the OEM shocks and TEINs from a local previous TL owner.
Keep in mind that you'll need a rear camber kit if you go this route. I chewed up a set of tires in less than 6 months. I'm hoping to get a front camber kit as well eventually. The specs are better up front than expected, but I want to get as many miles out of my tires as I can. I'm no performance driver so I have all-season tires.
I scrape the shit out of the air splitter under the front part of the car every time I pull into my driveway. Also I scraped my front lip last month by trying to pull into a driveway with too steep of an angle entrance. If you think the S-Techs will make the car too low, you can opt for the H-Tech. They drop the car around 1".

I'd rather go with something about 1".....I guess we'll see. Nothing's getting done until Spring anyway.

Or you could get coilovers and raise them up for winter and dump them in the summer

Modding has slowed down a bit for now but I hope a few more things will be on the car by the end of the year. I really need to get that damn Gorilla Glue off of my front bumper and possibly have my front lip fixed where I scraped against a curb.

Curbs... hahaha I don't have a good history with curbs... Not sure if 07TLTypeS420's wallet can handle anymore of my confrontation with curbs and still keep up with the modding! LOL
How was installing the kit? was it difficult?

The kit was pretty straightforward but somewhat of a pain in the ass. A lot of the double sided tape doesn't stick real well and the instructions are hard to interpret, especially the pictures. But overall it's not that bad and it's well worth it. The kit truly does change the whole look of the car.
And thank you sir
Aww aren't yall cuteeeee

We need an update in this thread Tyler! Go do a photoshoot.
And I hate curbs too. My wheels look like they've been raped. Nothing is better than when you're at a drive-thru pulling forward and then hear the "CIRCHHHHH" of metal against concrete. Fuck.

I've never hit a curb with any of my wheels, but that's how I fucked up my front lip. I pulled too far up while parking and brushed the lip against the curb. My A-Specs look like shit because the paint is old and peeling off. They are smooth as a baby's bottom but look terrible
You either have to open up your own headlights or have someone do them, like member JnC. He does awesome work and he will be more than glad to answer any questions you may have.
The A-Spec kit can be purchased from a few of our vendors here on Acurazine. Look up member OEMAcuraPartsTim. He's one of our vendors and has been for a while. I've contacted him a few times and he's a pleasure to deal with.
Must be desperate for answers.

Yes sir! I'm very happy with the purchase.
I'm part of the cool group now
Thank you sir! I hope you're able to make it to the meet on the 6th.
Awesome GIFs! Thanks for the laugh Morgan.
Nothing crazy like a supercharger but the car does sound better
Haha I can't disagree with that. Did you get my PM about you being nominated?
Thanks man. I highly suggest these boards.
Congrats dude! I want to hear it.
alexSU drove over from Charlotte and we swapped his ATLP Base exhaust for my stock exhaust. I'm very happy with my purchase and this is my favorite thing about my TL besides the A-Spec kit.
Here are some pictures to hold yall over. I'm hoping the rain holds out so I can take some better pictures. First up is the donor car, 05 TL 6-speed with ATLP V2 J-pipe, ATLP pre-cat deletes, ATLP Race Pipe, and some sort of intake:
Here's my car. K&N intake and stock exhaust:
And here's the ATLP Base on my car:
I'm hoping to have some videos made and posted within the next 24 hours. I've never used iMovie on my Mac so it may take me some time to figure out.
