How big of a drop for my car? (pics)
I am looking to lower my car a little bit, currently this is a stock TL with A spec wheels, front gap is about 1.5" and rear is 1.25" all stock.
I am looking for a stiffer spring that gets rid of some of the gap. Something that's subtle, but where the car feels a bit more planted. Can the stock shocks handle a mild drop or should I change them too?

I think our cars look pretty similar.
I'm on Tein S-Tech with 15mm front and 20mm rear spacers.
I'm on the A-Spec shocks, but regardless, my friend's TL which is on stock Type-S shocks sit the same.

So I can go with tein S tech and use the stock shocks? Do you have any more pictures?
Did the camber change from the drop? How does the car drive compared to stock shocks?

You can use stock shocks, but depends on the condition of your shocks.
I havn't gotten an alignment, so I can't tell you if camber changed but my friend got his alignment done and he said it wasn't far off spec so it didn't change drastically.
The car feels a bit bouncier compared to my aspec springs.
Sometimes over big dips it make my stomach drop pretty hard like a roller coaster lol
