Lowered my car on H&R Sports - all comments welcome
What's up Azine? Just got my 2007 NBP Acura TL a couple of weeks ago.. and the modding bug has started lol.. 
I bought some H&R Sport Springs from a member on here and put 'em on yesterday.. This was my first mod and I'm pretty happy with it.. I was looking to go a little lower - but for now.. it's perfect for me.. Tomorrow - my AEM V2 is coming in and my window visors.. I'll be sure to add pics when possible.. I'd like to hear all comments - positive & negative and what you guys think I should do.. Thanks and on to the pics..

A subtle drop is always one of the best looking mods on any car. If I have my way, I'll be dropping my cars until they tear the license out of my hands because I'm too old to drive.
Edit: lmao because your pooch is droppin' a deuce. Don't forget to pick it up before you mow the lawn.

Looking good man! I just dropped my car two weeks ago and it's probably the best thing I've done to my car. Like Blackura said, they need a little time to settle. Mine took about 3 days to fully settle.
I may have already asked you, but where in NC are you? I'm organizing a meet for late April in Raleigh. Keep you eyes open in the Southeastern Region thread

I'm terrible with remembering who I've talked to and who I haven't

Hey, I have the Ron Jon 19's and i'm in desperate need of a drop. I have about a 2 inch gap on the front, and i've been thinking of getting the H&R Sport Springs. Do I need to buy the Koni Yellow suspension or will it work with stock? I'm at about 75K miles, and i'm wondering if i should just do them both at the same time. Any advice anyone?
Here's a shot of my car..

^You can put springs on your stock shocks, but you run the risk of the stock shocks blowing prematurely.
I have a set of TEIN S-Tech springs on my stock shocks and I have no complaints. Eventually I'll get some new shocks or get a set of coil overs.
If I were you, I would go ahead and get new shocks so you don't have to worry about it later on.

Linnie, I know this is a visual thing, and nothing replaces a drop, but if you got an Aspec kit, it would give you a lower look because the kit brings the front end of the nose lower to the ground.

I'm just trying to do this right. I appreciate the tips. Ok, so the "Right" way to go is doing a set of coilovers for my springs and shocks. Possibly the Tein SuperSport? Is there a cheaper way? I was quoted about $1200 for this. I'm just not made of money.
Also, what would the ASpec kit run me? I love the look of the kit.

Wheels aren't my style...but I'm glad you made this thread. I'm going to be picking up some H&R Sport Springs from my buddy in a couple months...how low did they eventually settle? Is it an even drop? If the back is lower than the front
