Looking at bringing my Type S out of the clouds. I'm partial to HR springs but, wondering if anyone can post pics or links of their lowered setup?
Probably keeping my OEM S rims and just painting them.
Thinking about running the widest series tire that will fit.
Thanks in advance

Most people on here seem to like the coilovers. The H&R springs give a nice drop to the TL and look really good IMO. I actually have eibach pro springs on my car w/ koni sport shocks and I'm satisfied.

heres a pic..

Preciate it, the searches so far have resulted in coilovers. I know two setups look clean and smooth, I think it were megan and HT spec 2's.

thanks guys. Your pics are what I'm looking for.
Bearcat, good looking ride. What size tires are you able to run?

Steven I also have a Silver type S. Also what size tires are you running?

Anybody have some other brands those pics are welcome as well.

Thanks.

on tires. I've been running 245/45-17, but they're pretty much the same diameter as the OE 235/45.

255/40-17 will fit too, but they are a bit smaller in diameter, about a hafl inch, iirc.

Sounds good thanks for the info. Guess the 245 gves just bit more width right?

^^^ half centimeter on each side...but forget that and go 255/40...perfect fit and nice look...

Coilovers brother, Coilovers. Wait and save. I wasted my money on lowering springs-YUK IMO...

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the best. I rate lowering springs about a 2. And the Tein SS coilovers a 9.5. I like them that much more !!!!!

JUST TRYING TO SAVE YOU TIME, MONEY, AND HASSEL.

I WISH SOMEBODY TALKED ME OUT OF EIBACH PRO SPRINGS-YUK IMO.

COILOVERS ALL THE WAY BRO, ALL THE WAY

Widget, I'm running OEM sized Continental ExtremeContact DWS.



JD, I'm going to have to respectfully disagree with you. I'm not spending ~$1,300 to have adjustable stiffness on a Type S that has a ride that is already stiff enough. That's exactly why I went with H&R Sports Spring and spent $245 instead. I rate the Sports Springs (going with your theme) as a 10. And when you count in $1,000+ savings, I'd push that ranking up to a 12.

You had a Base TL. For that car, coils are a better consideration. But not necessarily on a Type S.

^^^ Thats OK. I paid under $1000 for my Tein SS coilovers shipped. I had a 2007 Type-S and paid $200 to have the Eibach pro kit springs put on and didnt like how hard it hit bad bumps, like a ROCK. Then I paid $180 to have them taken off before I tradded in the car.

In my opinion there is no comparison from just coils and coilovers. I am glad your happy with them. I wasn't, and others agreed with me that rode in my car.

God Bless
