I dont have a drop, the car looks ok, with the kit and the a spec wheels, but I wouldnt mind the look of the droped setup, only thing is I dont want a harsher ride.
I have been in my buddies a spec TL with the suspension, and it is noticably harsher, especially on bumps at higher speeds.

I dropped my Passat 1.75" and it was nice looks wise .. ride was nice but the camber issues and tire & suspension wear were the factors that made me say no to dropping the TL.

if you drop and don't do a good alignment .... mean you're going to have tire wear and such... the KEY is to get your TOE fixed immediately...
Please refer to a very good thread about camber and it's effects on Honda vehicles... https://acurazine.com/forums/car-talk-5/motorcycle-vin-check-147290/

I am thinking about dropping my TL. Who has the best equipment you think? Tein, Eibach, etc. Also, is it really that much difference between stock and 1" in the ride quality? If you have Tein SS does that mean you can switch back to stock if you want (I know it's adjustable)? Ride comfort is major issue here. I like the look, no doubt, but if it will feel like I hit a gravel pit just going over a few stones, then I def don't want that!

OEM Suspension - 1
A-Spec Suspension - 3
Eibach Suspension - 3
Tanabe Pro S-OC Type II - 3
TEIN High Techs - 3
TEIN SS on softest setting - 3
H&R Sport - 4
TEIN SS-P on softest setting - 4
TEIN Basics - 5
TEIN S-Techs - 5
K Sports on softest setting - 6
TEIN SS on firmest setting - 6
TEIN SS-P on firmest setting - 7
K Sports on firmest setting - 9
OEM Suspension - 1
A-Spec Suspension - 3
Eibach Suspension - 3
Tanabe Pro S-OC Type II - 3
TEIN High Techs - 3
TEIN SS on softest setting - 3
H&R Sport - 4
TEIN SS-P on softest setting - 4
TEIN Basics - 5
TEIN S-Techs - 5
K Sports on softest setting - 6
TEIN SS on firmest setting - 6
TEIN SS-P on firmest setting - 7
