only go with the tein springs not the coilovers. coilovers will makethe ride a bit more harsh. (although i love it)
just another alternative: 07_tl_type_s has the comptech springs and seems to love the ride and the drop.

i got the TEIN SS and I love them... they do not make the ride any more harsh at all and i got 19's with 35 series sidewall..

The trick is a rear camber kit with an EXCELLENT alignment..

the ride was more harsh before aligned, but after i preffered the ride over stock

you can get eibach springs as well.
If its for the type-s then specify that its for the 07 Type-S as the springs are a bit different for them.

I have Tein basics, and to tell you the truth, the ride is not bad at all. If you are still worried, go with the Tein SS's. You will be able to set it to a softer setting, and stiffen it if you feel that it's too soft.

My "better half" works for a honda/acura dealer and she showed me a memo to all of the Acura Parts Managers stating that the 07 TL Type S A-Spec kit information is now available. You may want to find out if this kit includes new springs/shocks similar to the previous A-spec suspension on the 04-06 TL's.

PLEASE GO with the TEIN SS....

They are the best you can buy under $1000, you will love them you can make them firmer or softer and can fully adjust the ride heigth in a matter of a couple of hours anytime you want.....

If you buy 19's 235/35/19's you can get your ride pretty low with no rubbing which is what i got, if you buy235/40/18 or 245/35/18 you can get it even lower..

Would not trade my TEIN SS for anything very happy i didn't buy just springs they are cheaper initially but might be more expensive in the long run with paying some to compress them and having the possibilty of them prematurley wear the shocks since it puts much more pressure on them than OEM, Which is why they Acura A-Spec kit is springs and shocks and not just different springs...

Please buy TEIN SS

Need pricing PM excellerate i bought mine from him and he installed he did a great job

i love the ss too but i am running with the edfc. i don't think i would ever want to undo my back seat again just too adjust the suspension... we have an accord that we just put the s tech springs on and it rides perfect. and you never have to adjust anything...

If $$$ is an issue, just springs will be fine for a year until I can afford new shocks, correct. Where and what is the best rear camber kit for Eibach pro springs for 07 TL-S? Should the rear camber kit be put in the same time as springs? Or can I add if needed? Thankyou.
