Is there a way?

Hey everyone, very recent on here. I just got into a new lease on an A-spec, black, 2010 TL AWD. I love the 19s, but I'm thinking the car would look so much better dropped a bit. However, since it's a lease, I'm thinking I cannot lower the vehichle. I've previously leased two TSXs. The '06 one, I was able to purchase a dealer-installed sport suspension that made that car look so much better. On my last '09 TSX, I was told that there was no such sport suspension. When I upgraded to my current TL, still I'm told that there is no factory sport suspension. Is there a way I can lower the car without affecting my lease contract? Thanks!

You can install an aftermarket suspension, and then reinstall the factory suspension before you turn your car back in.

Many people do this.

What he said.

Bear in mind, you're going to pay for the install twice. Once to install and once to remove before your lease ends. This is why I never modded any of my leased cars, it was too much of a pain.

Yah, I was thinking about an aftermarket suspension, but I'm guessing it's not just lowering springs. Isn't there a list of stuff you have to do when you want to lower a vehichle "properly"?

I can definitely see that it would be a hassle though, especially to have to pay to install the lowering kit, then to install the factory set up I'm on the fence on this one guys...

or just install some "stock" looking springs, and leave them on when he car gets return, and hopefully they won't notice

LOL... yah, they actually may not notice. I notice they don't really even care to look, especially if you're upgrading to another vehichle off their lot.
