The situation you describe makes it sound like your shocks are done. Stiffer springs will help that, but you will still have some resonance from going over a bump, that is the purpose of your shock absorber.

Funk dat. If you need an alignment, call Jeff, TheAlignmentGuy.com. He does the alignments for all of the autocross guys. You can go in there and tell him you want a stock alignment, or if you want additional camber to make it turn in better, or whatever. That, and he's a whole lot cheaper than any other place in town, prolly a whole lot better too.
He did mine on Saturday, took him about an hour for the alignment, and then he double checked it the manual way just to make certain. He does awesome work and is getting all of my alignment business from now until he either quits, or I move.

I'm back
Jeff the alignment guy did my tsx. He is the guy man, i had him install the rear camber kit for me. He prmoised he can do it in couple hrs, but it took him more than that. i felt bad because he just charged me for 2 hrs labor but not the extra hrs that he worked on my car.
he did my TSX alignment for $60 Front and rear

I will have to contact him the next time I need an alignment. I will never take my car to TiresPlus for an alignment. The tech eff'd up my tranny when he took it our for a 'test' drive. This was a few years ago, but I'm still fuming about it because I had to replace a couple of synchros...

If you need a test drive from an alignment, you should be afraid of the shop you took it to.
He said he might be raising prices soon (by $5) to help offset the cost of new equipment, but that's still a steal.
He could realistically charge MUCH more and still get a lot of business because he does great work. He'll explain what he's doing, how it is going to affect your car and tire life, and if you ask for something that is going to kill your tires, he'll tell you straight up that you are going to be munching tires.

How bout the 09 TL? Those have good performance and it actually looks pretty sweet once you paint the front grille and the back piece to body color. It actually starts to look more aggressive like the 3G TL. The stock color of the OEM grille throws off the look IMO.
An aftermarket grille.
