i've done coils on a few cars before, but not a tl yet. however one of the cars i've done is an 06 accord and since the tl and accord have very similar suspensions, i think it'll be fine.

i'll definitely post pics in this thread when i get them on.

yep....took me a few min to figure out the back seats because i didnt see the hidden bolt under the head rests. had a slight setback from a bent fork and stuck bolt. however all is good now.

i first installed it without any adjustments out of the box and it was SLAMMED so i raised it like 25 threads in front. im sitting on about 1 finger gap all around and 10 clicks from max stiff. im gonna let it settle this week and next weekend im gonna make the preload zero, because i might have moved it a bit while changing the height. hopefully i'll have pics soon, after a car wash and everything settles

nice...let us know where you end up keeping the height and damper at.

i'll be installing megans in a month or so and would like to get an idea of where i should set everything at. looking for finger gap all around.

alright. just a little advice: straight out of the box, the front will be slammed so raise it 25 threads(like i did) for 1 finger gap in front.

for rear,raise it like 7 threads for 1 finger gap.
