What springs?

So ive been thinking about going with Tein S tech springs on my 08 TL that i just picked up. I want to order this week but want to see if you guys with these springs can post pics? I was also thinking about mating these with some Tokico Blues. I know some of you might be like just get some Tein Basic coilovers but the thing is honestly i dont see myself ever lowering car more than 1.5 inch and dont want to bother with re aligning everytime. Please post pics......Thanks guys

Funny you should ask. That (literally) just came up: https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...0#post12727360



Rides fine. A little rough on bad roads, but stock the TL-S is rough on bad roads too. On smooth roads it's like butter. BUTTA.

I'd do it again with no hesitation.

You can do one better. Use "site:Acruazine.com yoursearchterms"

For example: http://www.lmgtfy.com/?q=site%3Aacurazine.com+springs

So guys i just went ahead and purchased some Tein Basic Coilovers...paid $700 shipped to my door. I plan on doing about 1.5-1.7 inch drop all the way around....Just figured it was better than buying springs and shocks seperately. From what i have read on here i would just need a rear camber kit and alignment at a 1.5 inch drop. Would you guys agree?

you won't even need a camber kit. I am dropped on spring/shock combo, 1.5" all around and my back camber is just a little over the recommended spec. Toe is what you got to be worried about. I drove for 2 years with this drop and my tires are not showing bad wear from camber. But on my old tires I drove 3 months with bad camber and it was a disaster.

wish I could have got some tein basics for that much. When I was buying suspension, canadian dollar was so shitty that tein basics delivered to my door were 1200$ Canadian.

Yeah i saw those but i had already ordered the coilovers. I think just to play it safe i might just order at least the rear camber kit.
