tough call. i would lower it first, and then get on AckTL05's next group buy in a few months for the aspec kit @ $715 VS $760.

take it from me, get coilovers.

i originally installed springs on mine...and while i like it, i found myself wanting more.

so i just got megan coilovers. do your own research and figure out which is best for you.

If I could do it all over again, I would get the coils instead of the kit first.

I'm Sure it will make you the happier then the kit

Another vote for coils first. They make a bigger difference than you might think.

yeah for sure do coilovers first. by far my favorite/best mod.

A TL looks better dropped with no aspec rather then a TL with aspec and no drop IMO.

Mar, it all depends....

Do you care more about the looks of the car or the ride of the car? Answer that question and you'll naturally have your answer.

A-Spec. TL is too bubbly without it.
Coilovers are only needed if you have aftermarket wheels and 4x4 look.

I went A-Spec, Wheels, Coilovers. If I had to do it all over: A-Spec, Coilovers, Wheels.

I think you should get your kit first, then you can accurately judge how low you want to drop your car too......ya know

i think im gonna get the tein coilover kit first because i do have some after makert wheels already and like everyone has been saying it will look better with it lowered and the kit is fully adjustable so i can change the hight at anypoint.

for people with coilovers how is the ride?? is it real rough or is it still real smooth?
