07-08 TL-S suspension fit 04-06 TL-P?
Just curious if the 07-08 TL-S suspension will fit the 04-06 TL-P? There would probably be no drop but the stiffer shocks and springs should give better handling.

Think it's worth making the change (parts, time, effort)?

They will fit.

If you swap the suspension assembly (shocks, springs, top hats, all the bushings), you'll improve the steering feel as well, because the bushings are different. Type-S bushings are stiffer steel reinforced rubber while the regular TL bushings are not steel reinforced.

Like they said above me yes it will fit. But I believe there might be a slight drop involved also but do not expect more than a half inch.

I'm not interested in Teins since I have the full A-Spec package. Just curious.

I thought I've read that the A-Spec susp was stiffer than the TL-S suspension.
