I bought this car 5 days ago. It's the exact car I wanted. 2012 TL SH AWD, 3.7, Black with Umber interior. I already had the windows tinted using 15% tint and my son and I (mostly him) installed the B&G springs part number 28.1.081 which lowers it 1.4" all the way around. I'm very happy with look and drive. It still handles great and no rubbing.
When I bought it 5 days ago in Pompona Beach Fl it had 39,280 miles. Now it's has 40,510. It's was only 240 miles to my home. I took the long way home��
Looks great! Keep us posted on if they were able to align it back within spec. I've been contemplating on lowering my TL but I don't want the consequence of camber wear. Please post more pictures and your review on the ride. Thanks.
Had the alignment done today. I was told there is in rear camber adjustment and that I would need to buy the rear adjustable camber kit to get it back into specs. The rear max spec is -1.8 and mine is -2.6
I replaced the lower bar only which is for camber but is listed as a lateral bar. Part number 67550. Anyways I had it re-aligned today along with new shoes and she is happy. Oh yeah so am I.

Great job at lowering the car. Looks slight lower in the rear. I just looked them up and they are set at 200 shipped. Do you have any updated pics of the car after the springs have settled? Maybe a level side shot. I'm debating on either springs or coils. I want something that rides decent has a decent drop of 1.5-1.75 inches. It'll stay like that for the rest of it's life.
They did settle a bit and looks a lot more level. However most of the cars I have that I changed springs on the front always seemed a tad higher. I was told that its designed that way for braking. But I’m not sure. I noticed today that the rear caster was affected even tho the alignment is within specs for camber and toe. I just ordered the other two rear adjustable bars to get my caster back.

Looks nice. I have a '14 SH, same color. I might lower it, too. Thanks for posting the info and alignment. Did it come with those brake calipers? I like them, mine don't look like that.
You both have the same calipers but OP has caliper covers. Made by a few companies but most popular are MGP. If you dont want to spend 200USD you can also paint your calipers for cheap.
