You're here! Look at the upper right side of of the page. "Search This Thread" or "Search This Forum" depending on where you are. There's really a lot of useful information for all aspects of the car.
Good luck with your new car!

I replaced the stock suspension with the A-Spec suspension at about 1,000 miles. It's maybe one inch lower than stock and firmer but not harsh. I also did the the Comptech rear sway bar at the same time. The car handles and rides well and I'm very happy with both.
Some other suspensions are lower and handle better but ride hard. That's what exactly what I didn't want in this car. I could have saved a lot money buying a Civic and moding it.

Tein SS seems to be the favorite for 3G TL's on the forums. For me, I'm looking at just a spring upgrade - there's no reason for me to spend the $$$ for adjustable coilovers when I'll probably never fitz with all the settings. Plus, I don't track my car either.
Honestly, it depends what you're going to do with your car.

I took my '07 TL-S into the shop and am having Eibach Pro-Kit Spring Set put on with the 255/40/17 tires on the stock rims. I think this will drop the car about 1". Will post pictures as soon as I figure out to upload to photobucket using my new iMac with iPhoto.

If you're going to "slam it", I would suggest coilovers due to the adjustability. Trust me, a "slammed" ride definitely looks great but sacrifices comfort - after rolling around a couple inches off the ground, I'm sure you'll want to raise it back up, hence coilovers would be perfect for you.

If you go to the thread in Wheels, Suspension, Tires and look up 255/40/17 Tire thread that is 15 pages long, at the very end of the thread I posted all my pictures of before and after. I took the stock Michelin All Season tires off 235/45/17 and place the Bridgestone RE050A Pole Position 255/40/17 tires on and then had the Eibach Pro-Kit Springs put on to drop the car. I think it really made a difference and am very happy with it.
