So is just getting coil overs on the same struts ok or replacing struts and new springs better? This another mod I'm anxious for but the current handling on the TL does well.

coilovers usually come with struts and springs together...

I would go with Megans because they go really low.

as stated by illustrious, coilovers come with springs and shocks ALREADY assembled. the combination of the two are designed to work well with each other.

you can also get some buy some aftermarket springs (sport or race versions) and aftermarket shocks that can handle the dampening of the stiffer springs (i.e. koni shocks, tokico, etc.)

depending on what exactly you are looking for in terms of adjustability (height or dampening) will decide wat combo you purchase.

The best coilovers of the group are:
H&R
Tein SS
KW V1
Eibach

IMO the KW's are the best coilover out there for the TL, yet not many people here seem the to have them. You see them a ton on Porsches, BMW and MB's, vipers etc...

Hey you got any experience with those? I was really looking into those but didn't know how they were. Eibach's coilovers are made by KW.. they look identical aside from the color. My brother has a set on his BMW (KW) but I was wondering how they were on a TL.

It all depends on what youre looking for. If you want a slammed look that rides like ass go F&F or megan. But if you want the best riding coilovers on the market for the TL go for KW V1 or H&R or the more standard Tein SS. All of these go low enough and make the look and ride great.

IMO go with the KW's, you won't regret it man!
