Free Lowering Springs

Hi,

I am looking for someone with a 04-08 TL to help us with a test fit on our lowering springs. We will install these at no charge but will need your car for 2-3 hours while our certified tech does the install. Please give me a call at (626)581-0988 for further info. Thanks!

James

Wow....looks like you have been all over the net looking for people to test these for any application you can.

You should provide more info on your company, with testimonials, etc so people know they're not putting some cheap, ebay, made in China spring on their car.....

Yes it is tough finding cars to test fit products on.
We recently found a TSX owner on here to help us test fit our coilovers and the results were great! Here is a link

And here is the result of the test fit

If anyone needs more information please do let me know. Thanks!

LOL....I didn't realize you were from Megan. I was googling M-Racing...like WTF this company doesn't exist. Then after reading that thread I realized you were from Megan Racing, lol.

What are the specs on the springs (spring rates, amount of lowering)?

Good luck finding a test fitter....

thanks! the drop initially was an inch straight down yesterday. I havent measured again today but I will tonight at my friend's shop.

the ride is about the same as stock. on my way back to work on the 60E and 57S the freeway isnt as good, and the car still rode fairly well. I have 51K on original shocks (original owner too). car is 06 5AT Navi. its soft/compliant enough to maintain a smooth ride while not bottoming out. then again it still may have to settle so I will post back my observations after a few days.

overall its worth taking half the day off work for. ill post better pics as soon as I get her cleaned.

its been over a week. ride height remained the same as the day after the install. i measured the height again from the base of the tire to the rim of the fender. its about 26.25" all around, so the drop was pretty much 1.25 straight down. ride quality again feels pretty much the same. some new pics are in this thread:
