Lowering an '04 TL

Does anyone have any suggestions for kits, springs, etc. for lowering a 2004 TL. I am hoping to drop the car 2 inches.

There are a ton of post regarding this bro...use the search function, it helps

Now that been said, you have to make sure what you want:

1> Height Adjust-ability: Go coilovers
2> Dampening Ability: Go coilovers
3> Just a little drop nothing to jazzy: Go Springs
4> Strict budget: Go Springs
5> Gonna track your car ? : Go coilovers

Now if you know what you want its a piece of cake from there....

if you're going 2" then you're going to want to do coilovers. use the 'search' feature...there is soo much info on here in regards to just about every coilover kit for the TL.

here are some brands you'll want to check out: HT Spec, TEIN, BC Racing, Megan Racing. i'm likely missing some other brands but those are the most prevalent.

IMO, the best coils for the TL are BC Racing (~$1000)...

How do just springs pair with stock dampeners? Ride quality is my main concern, I do not want to make the car uncomfortable/stiff.
