Good spring/shock set up for what im looking for?

My shocks are going bad so time to get knew ones. (2005 TL)

Thinking of instead of just getting stock springs and shocks again that ill go with a mild drop.

Eibach Pro springs and Koni yellow setup is that good and how much does it run? She sits like this now

Can't go wrong with Koni's yellows. I just picked up a set from Excelerate Perf for about 565 + shipping.

great setup and a mild drop would be the Aspec suspension.

Koni + Aspec spring and Koni + H&R are two killer combos. I've heard nothing but good things about that.

Just had my s techs installed on stock shocks. rides fine, occasional bumps. but its not horrendous. eventually ill get koni yellow shocks or the Tein coilovers. but the springs not hard to install just take you time. and the back seat it a bitch to take out. but other than theres not many surprises unless you get a rusted bolt. THEN YOURE FUCKED.

If you search you'll find justinspace pics of Koni + Aspec. I think he's on the lowest shock perch too.

I just installed Koni yellow + Tein H Tech. Its almost as low (lowest Koni perch) as my H&R coilovers, and it rides just a little more stiff than stock/TL-S. Overall the ride is much more comfy than the coilover kit too.

Thanks Jordan! good seeing you the other day!!









these images are of my TL with Koni yellow SP3s paired with aspec springs. I am on the lowest perch. I've lightened my TL, and in the pictures i'm sporting BALD summer tires which increases the wheel gap in the rear.
