Help me decide please!
I have a 2006 Acura tl currently dropped on tien s tec springs and tokico shocks. I'm deciding between getting Varrstoen 1.1.2. Or xxr 521 and function and form coilovers. I'm not satisfied with the drop I currently have I wanna go lower. So please help me decide what should I do.
Option 1:
Stick with the tien s tech and buy the Varrstoen 1.1.2 19x9.5+12 square or....
Option 2:
Buy xxr 521 18x8.5+25 f. 18x10+25 r and function and form coilovers.
Thanks for any help

I just ordered the function and form coilovers for 04-08 tl for $595, is that a good price. Does it matter that my car is 6speed? Or is it the same thing for auto and manual cars? Also is there a DIY or a thread that teaches you how to lower and raise your car with coilovers?
I'll be selling my tein springs and tokico shocks in the black market next week. Just a heads up for anyone that's interested. They have less than 1,000 miles on them.

yeah, if only he made it a sticky in the 3rd gen section. His thread is piled up like 2-3 pages in the 3rd gen section, under the main topics and suspension i believe, so it was kind of hard to find. In the end, sall good.. at least you got coilovers now

I'm getting my coilovers installed this weekend and I have a couple questions.
1. Do I need to get an alignment everytime I change the height of the car? I'm getting an alignment right after the install. But during winter my car will be sitting high. And come summer time I'm lowering it. So I would need to align it again summer time?
2. Do I need to take my wheels off to lower it?
3. How do you measure the height so they're all even?
4. Last but not least those guys who slam there cars how do you remove the jack after ? I have one of those hydraulic jacks.

If your a Diy guy then I think its faster to swap out you coils with your stock suspension then effing around with ride on your coil now I'm sure people will say that defeats the purpose of having coils but they won't argue that it isn't faster also ask the people at the meet a few of them are suspension guy

3. How do you measure the height so they're all even? I count the threads and use a scale....
4. Last but not least those guys who slam there cars how do you remove the jack after ? I have one of those hydraulic jacks. I have a low profile jack and it always get stuck under the front rubber protector thingie....and am not slammed.....but i would assume bringing her down 3/4 of the way and then using the oem jack on the side, make sure the jack has gotten hold of the car, take the hydraulic jack off all the way and then take the oem jack down....
