WDP TL-S: Done with mods for while...

2007 TL TypeS White Diamond Pearl

Purchased: May 24, 07
Current Odo: 10,564 miles

I'm done with the mods until next season. Probably I'll upgrade the wheels to 19's and call it quit to modding cars. Modding became a habit and spending way too much money and time into it. Also financially broke after purchasing three LV bags and 50" plasma tv this month...

before you give up for the year, be sure to get some front license plate plugs! lol =P Next time we see a break in the weather we should get the PDXers together for another meet.

It looks hot though!

not sure about the coils since i don't have them. but it'll get stiffer than the stock typeS suspension with eibach/koni setup. for the perch settings, i just left them at stock height.

i had the coils.. and they were definitely stiffer, but they were also very 'bouncy' to the point where you could get motion sickness on a bumpy road..


so you are @ stock heigh, meaning you didnt choose to lower the spring perchs ? i read they go as low as 20mm (or .7 inchs)

also wondering, if you choose to adjust the height, is it as easy as the coils (two wrenchs) or do you have to remove the spring/strut
