Few problems with the TL! Please help.
Few problems with the TL! Please help.
Hey guys as the title states my car seems to be falling apart. It is an 04 TL 6spd. Lately I have been noticing that everything is falling apart on it. It does have 130K on the odometer but a new car is not necessary as I barely drive since I work from home.
Here is some info about the car in case anyone is wondering:
Lowered on Tein Basics ( bad move I know) willing to buy new coilovers for it but please recommend a good brand that will not be bouncy and ride quality is almost close to stock but a sportier feel. XLR8 Exhaust and J pipe etc.
Lowered about 2.5-3".
Here are some of the issue I am experiencing:
1. Vibration while accelerating especially at higher speeds. Tires/wheels are road forced balanced. I just installed new tires on a few thousand miles ago. Bridgestone Potenza 970AS Pole Position. Im guessing its the Axles. Where can I buy the Raxle ones so I do not run into any more issues with these since I am lowered about 2.5-3" all around. Do you know how much they run.
2. Clunks whenever I hit a bump. I'm guessing it has something to do with the top hat/mounts/compliance bushing/ control arms etc. I am willing to change all of it as long as the car will run much better. I have had the coilovers on the car for about 25K so thats when i purchased new top hats directly from Acura.
3. Rotors seem to get warped extremely quickly. I am currently on my 4th set of brakes since 2009. About 5-6K ago I installed slotted Stop Tech Rotors with some PosiQuiet pads & Goodridge SS brake lines, and they are completely warped. Im guessing it is my Brembo Calipers that are jacket up. I found OEM rebuilt ones from Centric online for a $190 a piece plus $150 core charge. does that seem reasonable or does anyone know of a better place to get them from? I think the website was autobrakecenter.com.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I am missing anything i can do to improve any of the issues stated above.
Thanks in advance.
