Curious, what are the blue and gray "caps" for on the front springs?

Treblig, those are rubber silencer's that they use to reduce/eliminate noise when the coil springs touch or hit each other when they are compressed

In for group buy on these springs

Awesome! I'm in for a group buy. Looking forward to seeing them on the TLX. What did the drop turn out to be with these springs?

Thanks for the info Mike. When you do the install with the Down Springs, think it would be possible to get a picture of what the car looks like with the stock wheels to just get an idea. I'm not quite ready to purchase aftermarket wheels yet lol

I'll have my springs soon, I'm local to you. I used to have the Black 12 TSX, came to your place and picked up the Progress RSB and picked up the RB rotors from you when you were in southern Cali.

I'll give you a call when they come in

Thanks for the pics. Any other angles after lowering that you can show. I can see the difference slightly but kind of hard to really tell the gap with the car being black . Thanks either way, picking these up next month.

We recently worked closely with RSR on a separate project, and they seemed excited about their TLX coilovers. We'll be sure to keep everyone updated when we hear anything from them!

I am going in for an alignment Saturday. It'll be interesting to see what the rear camber is. The negative camber is quite visible on mine.

Your rear cambers should be around -1.7 to -2.4 degrees.
Your frond and rear toes will definitely require some adjustment.

Are there ANY Lowering Springs for the TLX at 1.5-2? Coilovers are just a bit too expensive for me.

Just ordered mine. With such a small drop does it+ change the bumpiness much? I have never had a lowered car and these don't look too low to change the suspension that much.
