Need help choosing coilovers

Hello,

I’m currently looking for what coilovers to put on my 2005 base TL. It is currently completely stock, I haven’t touched anything within suspension. I am going for looks & rides. I don’t plan on “tracking” the car. What are some things to look for when buying coilovers? also, what are some of your guys suggestions for the best riding and quality coilovers for my money. I currently have around $500-600$ to spend. Some images of your car lowered, as well as name of coils & price would be a great help!

Thanks,
Merek

In that price range, and your purpose....the only ones to consider are Tein Street Advance.

Just don't go silly with the amount of drop and they will ride really well.

Follow the instructions carefully. Read the manual before installing.

Also, pro tip: run the damper adjuster at a much "stiffer" setting than Tein recommends. The soft settings don't make any COT dang sense.
