Talking 2006 TL on Tein H-Tech Springs

Put my springs on last weekend. Thanks to vatltltl for his thread showing his beautiful RRP on H-Techs here. It was my inspiration.
I'm too old to be ballin' like some of you guys! I think its a nice drop for me.
The ride is a bit rougher, but I expected that. I took an offramp this morning that I am familiar with and really felt how it tightened everything up.
I'm pleased. Here are the pics:

Congrats! The drop looks great and I really like the overall look of your car. I'm a sucker for AM

Do you plan on finishing the A-Spec kit eventually?

Thanks!
Next up is the A-Spec rear lip, in good time. I have other stuff higher up on the list, though.

Now that you mentioned it, it does look smaller than my OEM visors. Take off the mud flaps. I have a brand new unpainted set, boxed somewhere in my garage, lol. Then get the rear lip. It'll look cleaner. Look I'm lowered on some Teins also. Check out my car and see if you'll like it.

Yes, they are the WeatherTech visors. I got a great deal in the BM on them. They are functional, but I want the OEMs eventually. The lines are better on them.
Tire dressing is a must for shows and pics!
The mud flaps will come off when I get a rear lip. Not sure about the A-Spec sides, though.

Thanks, Aaron. It really does not take much to make the car look great!
I forgot to give a shout out to my buddies who helped me with the install---Oscar (acura_dipset_tl) and Steve (not on AZ). I could not have done it without them! Thanks guys!

Thanks guys!
Alignment shop said camber was within tolerance. I specifically asked if I needed a kit and he said no. I talked directly to the tech who worked on my car. I did not expect to have any problem, as the car was tracking perfectly, even at high speed.
