Are you getting the basic or SS ? I ask because I was going to get the basic but I heard they ride hard. The SS have damping for a smoother ride. What is the minimum lowering with the SS. I want to lower a 2006 TL that I am buying today!! WDP nav 6 speed, mint, certified, 28,000 miles!!! I cant wait. Finally I will own a WDP TL. I want to lower it a minimum amount, like 1 inch. That way I wont need an Ingall rear camber/toe kit.

Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!!!! Thankyou!!! Jeff D.

Your better off picking up the phone and calling around, if you want an accurate price quote. For example King Motorsports is going to be more expensive than a "Joe Shmoe" shop. Go with a reputable shop.

I got quotes from $240 - $860 (dealer) fore springs install. Average was ~$300 - $350. Coil-over is similar if you need to re-use the OE top hats, easier if they come complete.

Figure a their shop rate at 3 to 4 hours.

Hey AcuraStyle, once you get to NC I'll give you the scoop on shops with installs. I have to look around myself. Better yet you could ask bearcat or chill_dog to lend a helping hand make sure you know what kind of beer they drink

I drink Guinness on tap, but will settle for any English Bitter (John Courage FTW), Porter or Stout.

chill_dog - - but he *does* drink beer

mmade22 drinks Blue Moon (amongst others). Do NOT give hime Red Bul and Vodka.
