Got the TLX A-Spec Test Fitted @ Eibach
Spent the day at Eibach to test fitment of springs on the A-Spec. I have to say one of the most impressive manufacturers I have ever visited. The quality and workmanship that goes into every product they make is amazing! The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable and I really enjoyed the trip.
The results of the springs are phenomenal. Its just what the car needed appearance wise to really give it that aggressive look. The car handles even better and just feels amazing! I cant recommend them enough. They were able to use a previous year TLX spring set but they did feel that some adjustment could be possibly made to the rear for the A-Spec as well as recommending the alignment kit they offer which needs further testing in a month or two which I already signed up to test. I will provide feedback once that is done. I may also install a spacer in the rear which they also offer and want to test so more info to come once that is done. Here is a crappy pic of the before and of course the after photos. I will try and get some better shots of the tire gap itself, I just couldn't help snapping shots of the overall car. Enjoy!

got the Pro Kit installed in my white 19 A-Spec 2.4 at Eibach. I'd post pics but they're the same as the OP's.
a few days in and really love them. the steering is less floaty, still extremely comfortable for daily driving, and far less body roll when twisting through the canyons. because the wheel gap is reduced i now have to work on getting proper wheel spacers to push the A-Spec wheels out more. the fronts look fine but the rears can use 10-12mm spacers. |

I just lowered my V6 TLX SH-AWD on the Eibach Springs (EIBACH 4089.140 PRO KIT) and let me tell you I'm 100% happy with my decision. I was looking for better handling without sacrificing ride quality and I didn't want to lower the car too much. The springs drop the front and rear about 1.3" each side. The wheel gap after installation is about 1 finger width at most. I love the look and the handling is much better now. Ride quality is just like stock I'd say as Eibach traditionally designs these springs to work on stock struts and not sacrifice the ride. I did not need a camber kit for these springs after an alignment was done. I'm going back in 2 weeks or so to do a secondary alignment after the springs have settled. Here are some pics below. Before's and Afters.
