The Aspec Kit looks nice-I'm anxious to see the coilovers on the Type S.

Congrats! The kit gives the TL a whole different look.

The coils are really going to help tie everything together. Usually I'm not a huge fan of chrome wheels but those A-Specs look great on your car.

Thanks dude...I got the rims for such a good deal I had to get them! In the Spring time I'll sell them maybe and get some 19s, or maybe sell the type s rims. Undecided on that. So many ideas, but the money tree needs to grow some more!

Well after a month of waiting I finally got my HT-spec type 2 Function Form 32 way adjustable coil overs. Got em around 10:30am and put em in right away! The product quality is great and the ride quality is awesome. I 1st installed and it was way to low for my taste. After adjusting the height, I adjusted the damper to 14 in the front and 16 in the rear. Im gonna soften it up some more, probably set it to 10 front and 12 rear and it should ride pretty much like stock type-s.

I also installed the OEM rain guards in the past month also.

These first ones are the summer rims and when it was to low for my taste





After I got the ride height I wanted I threw on the winter rims...might aswell do it now and get it outa the way a little early!

















Pics suck they are from my cell phone...I'm gonna get a few friends together soon to do a mini photo shoot with a camera that's not a cell phone!

Looks great. Good choices on the mods.

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the A-spec lip kit from and what'd you pay?

3/4" up in the front and 1" or 1 1/4" in the rear. It was adjusted twice, but I believe that's where it was in the end.

I Love what you've done to your whip, and I especially love the drop. My A spec kit is coming in March, but im REALLY interested in your coil overs. Where did you find them? and how much poorer should I expect to be after picking up the set? I love the fact that I'll be able to adjust the ride height once my back starts to hurt LOL!
