Hey guys,

My TL-S is running a bit of a mish-mash of OEM suspension currently, old base auto shocks and base manual springs. It feels like shit - the whole car will pitch forward and backwards when you let off the throttle, slightly miss time a shift, what have you. It feels to me like the suspension is just doing a bad job of keeping the car in place. It doesn't help that my car also has a few mods, namely a lwfw and a tune that I feel exacerbate this feeling.

So if I want to replace my suspension with something new to alleviate this, how stiff should I go? Would brand new OEM Type-S springs and shocks be stiff enough to keep the car in place, or should I move on to something even stiffer like Koni Yellows or coil-overs? I don't really have much interest in going lower or having an adjustable setup. I want my car to feel comfortable but firm enough to get rid of this seesaw sensation.

 

The base and manual springs rates are different. Then 04-06 and 07-08 base spring rates are different.

Its like driving on a different ripe of tire on each of your four wheels.

 

if you have no intention of having an adjustable setup, your best bet would be to use OEM products.
most likely, your shocks are blown...if you purchase any TL OEM shock/spring combo it will get rid of the seesaw action.
