Hi everyone,

I have read on many forums (here and TOV) on how bad the wheel gap is on the TL and other Acura/Honda products. I came across the following link and just burst out laughing and thought I should share:

Myself, I don't think that the TL suffers from the wheel gap problem but I have seen many posts (some directed at me) to have the TL dropped because of the huge wheel gap. I never felt it was a problem on the TL and this link with the picture of the Accord puts things in perspective

Enjoy....My, how Honda has come a LONGGGG way since those days....

The 4G TL already has minimal wheel gaps than most of the Honda/Acura products.

Thinking back, I can almost stick my foot inside the wheel gaps on my previous 2G TL-S and on my previous 2G Integra GS.

Lol,that is a huge gap on the Accord.

I didn't mind the gap on the Tl,but when dropped it does look a whole lot better,imo of course.

I was fine with the OEM wheel gap for a long time. I went the inexpensive direction and got H&R Sports Springs and I can now see why people drop their car.

A subtle drop always looks nice, IMO. Maybe .5" all around, doesn't sacrifice ride quality, a bit better handling and better looks!

Weather, my H&R Springs were only $245. I thought it was a relatively small investment for an excellent mod. I'm not sure if the 4G TL pricing would be the same as the 3G, but it's worth looking in to.

Steve who did you use to help you drop your HR Springs in?

They were installed at the dealership.

Doesn't seem too bad. I think Nissan is the worst. Higher wheel gap up front.

Since you had the dealer install your springs was the suspension still covered under warranty?

^^^^ As far as I know, yes. One of the reasons I had the dealership install them is because if I had any problems, I can go back to them.

Not sure how I missed your reply and for that long but here goes

Quite frankly, the wheel gap on the TL isn't that bad in my opinion. I can see how people would would to drop it a little but I already find it hard to stick my hand/arm when I try and clean the wheel well, can't imagine how this could be done if I dropped it any further. I just used the picture as a dramatic example of a REAL wheel gap problem *lol*

PS....If I kept my car long enough, I'd likely modify it a bit more than I do now but I would hate to invest too much money for the next owner....bad enough they will get a ca who has never been driven in the rain/snow and has very very low mileage!
