hey guys, just installed the A-spec 6MT suspension on my 5AT. It rocks! Body roll is greatly reduced and I no longer feel like I'm going to lose control on fast corners and clover leafs. Like others have said the ride is close to stock you just feel the road more.
The diff on the 6MT suspension is that the front springs have a slightly lower compression ratio. That means more drop up front.
Here are the drops:
Rear Driver: from 26.81 to 26.5 for a .31" drop
Rear Passenger: 26.75 to 26.55 for a .2" drop
Front Driver: 26.87 to 26.12 for a .75" drop
Front Passenger: 26.93 to 26.31 for a .62" drop
I hope the rear drops more after a week or so. Other than that it was well worth it. I can't wait to get some more road time in and test out some more clover leafs.

Hey guys-
Another TL owner here from MN also. Bought a '05 in Des Moines of all places. I couldn't find a silver one I liked and had a decent price up here. I'm currently going through the process of finding snow tires. I've been told to get 16's, do you guys have any preference for the weather up here?

My TL was just rear-ended and the rear bumper (fell off), trunk (closes but does not align) and other scratches etc.
Who in Minneapolis can do the best collison repair work on a TL?
PLEASE HELP!!!

Saw a black 04-06 NBP TL this evening on 494E in Bloomington. No body kit or spoiler but TL-S tails or blacked out and 07+ side mirrors. Anyone from this forum?

I live in St. Paul as well. I drive a grey 05 TL. Question to you MN guys and gals. I have 255/40/17 all season tires on my car and when it starts to snow my car gets stuck everywhere. What tires do you run during the winter?

FTW
What tires are your running now?
I'm currently running the Bridgestone RE960 245/45/17.
Only snow experience were with the OEM Mich MxM4's and they were extremely scary in snow. No traction and zero wet traction. I took those off even though they had over half tread life.

I have seen you up and down Rockford Rd few times. I used to work in Plymouth and took that road. Back then I had a 2nd Gen TL.

Just curious if there are any other 3G TL owners in the Minneapolis/St.Paul area......I think it would be kinda cool to know some people who are local to discuss good shops, dealers, etc.
Let me know if any one else is interested in possibly starting a TL club of some sort around here.
