Lowering springs.....

I know for a fact this has been covered before but I cant find exactly what I want...

So I am thinking about getting 2" all around lowering springs on my 04. I know damn well the stock wheels wont rub until I start bouncing around at high speeds and maybe not even then. basically I am gonna go with 17x9 maybe 17x8 rims here shortly.. and I just want a flush look and not to be completely slammed anymore as I have been with previous cars... if anything can I get a little tuck with these 2" lowering springs...or am i overall just better going with coils..

like I said though I dont wanna be completely slammed, just wanna completely close that wheel gap and go flush

A search for titles containing the word spring just within tires, wheels & suspension has almost 500 threads. Should be easy to find every spring option ever available in there. If that's still not easy enuff...could always talk to the vendors. That's kinda what they do..

Look into h&r race springs for 2" drop springs. U should be close to no fender gap but u won't be tucking

Go coils. That way you have full adjustability. I promise if you go springs, you will not be happy with the drop they offer and will want more. You also loose a ton of suspension travel by using springs. You will live on your bump stops.

If Koni makes coilovers for Acura's I would go with that.
I have them on my s4 and they're great !

Get coilovers, so you can just drop it to the point where you don't have to rollout the fenders.

Install is actually a lot easier then you think but I did it on my own and just purchased the kit it was about 2.3k lol but range 1.5-3k depending where you go

The only spring that will drop it that much is the H&R Race spring but your stock shocks won't last long. You really are going to have to invest in either good quality shocks like the KONI's or a coilover like the TEIN or XLR8 ISC. Call, email or PM for more info.

I've always wanted to do baggs again but can't find the kit I want for my car. Didn't know there was one out there until reading further down..

I've used a kit that a local shop sold me for my subi back in California. Unfortunately I live on the other coast now so can't go there

K sport makes airbags for the TL, you can use their Air management system or piece together a kit,using parts from AccuAir as I'm sure you know since you already had a bagged car.

Other than that +1 On the coils, I don't think any spring kit completely gets rid of wheel gap. You need Coils for what you want.
