I'm planning to get my car drop, but still want the comfortable feeling when driving. If anyone have pictures of this product. Please post them. Thank you.

Pro and con of each Spring would be extremely helpful.

S-Tech (my car):





S-Techs are probably half an inch lower than the H-Techs. Notice how the fender meets the top of the tires perfectly on my car while the AM TL still hs a finger gap between the tire and fender. I'm happy with my S-Techs and would recommend them.



Btw this topic has been covered quite a bit. Next time get on Google and type in "Acurazine + whatever you're searching for". It's much better than the search engine here on the site.

Do you have the springs on stock shocks or what? ^^

Does your car ride pretty stiff as i described mine in my post about my new setup? I'd imagine it does as this OP said he wants the comfortable feeling ride. Not sure if you can lower a car and retain the comfortable ride. Someone correct me if im wrong..

mines not uncomfortable to me, just wouldnt be suited for everyone...

I'll chime in. My S-tech's provide a ride that is comparable to stock. I'll admit that after driving a TL with stock suspension that there is a noticable difference, but it is not very dramatic. My wife, who is somewhat sensitive to this kind of thing, does not complain when she rides in the car. That means something to me.

Tyler has provided good examples in the photos above with his own car and the A-Spec wheel. Here is my own contribution that I believe shows how much difference it makes between stock and the S-Tech's with use of the base 17-in wheel.

I see the difference between H and S techs. Did any of you have to get a camber kit for either front/rear?

If the S-Techs aren't low enough, try the H&R Race Springs. I heard they ride rough as fuck though.

I didn't HAVE to, but I got the rear camber arms, Ingalls to be exact. Here are my alignment specs:

Camber/Toe
Front Left: -1.4/-0.02
Front Right: -1.1/0.01
Rear Left: -1.0/0.04
Rear Right: -1.0/-0.03

High Techs will ride similar to the stock springs but will offer a minimal drop. S Techs will be firmer, but not too aggressive, and will give a fairly decent drop. If you want maximum ride comfort you will want the High Tech springs or Eibach Pro Kit.

So which did you end up going with?

I am torn right now myself. I want the S-Tech but I'm worried that the ride will be uncomfortable and I'll lose that luxury feeling. But then if I get the H-Tech, I'm worried I wont think it's low enough... lmao I'm a typical woman what can I say

^ I went with the S-Techs! I'll post before and after pics soon!

How bad is the install? I've done springs on other cars but not the tl.

the tl was much easier than on my old 2000 maxima. the worst part of the whole job is taking the back seat out to get to the rear suspension bolts. took about 2 and a half hours total for dissasembly and reassembly
