I had too much shit to hold that I didnt feel like putting it all down just to record him driving off lol. Maybe this weekend I'll get another clip, but that shit sounds pretty legit

As for the suspension.... I'd go with Teins just because they're adjustable Who knows, maybe some day you'll want to ditch being 4X4

1. Is there a good alignment shop anyone recommends or is Firestone lifetime alignment good enough?
2. Any Acura mechanics anyone knows of that does good work for reasonable price?
3. Any good tint shops that can remove and replace tint? Looking to get 35% from 50%.

Thanks for your help in advance!

1. got my lifetime alignment at One Stop Auto on hwy 6. for 120. no returning charges. but brakecheck is good too.

2.i know a pretty good mobile mechanic, worked on BadA$$vtec's and my car

3. excutive tint, i heard some good stuff from them, but that driveway is a bitch. lol

Thanks Marcba for the info, I see there is a Brakecheck near where I'm staying so i'll check them out and Executive Tint is probably what I'm going with Tint wise. I'll PM you sometime when I need to get ahold a mechanic thanks.

Hey Evil, I also have the TEIN SA and they ride nice but not close to stock. I currently have them set at 9 front/11 rear.

I agree with others if you want to be able to adjust height/damper i'd go with Coils otherwise Aspecs are pretty much stock ride.

So who needs help with their Acura TL?
I think I've done everything possible to the TL with some help. I think I did most of the work.
S/C, coilovers, cat delete, pcd, exhaust upgrade welding/brackets, custom subwoofer maintaining stock radio, and regular maintenance.

will post video of the new rv6 cat delete pipe, jpipe, and connected to custom true dual.

Oh and I'm planning on ordering my coilovers next week. I'm pretty sure I'm going with Megan EZ Street unless I come up on some extra cash. Suspension is something I've never touched so when the time comes anybody willing to help? Should be some time early or mid next month.

Well the aspec kit is officially finished. I'll post some pictures up later.

Thanks Dennis for offering the help, as well as everyone else to offered a hand. I went ahead and tackled this myself because I knew it'd be almost impossible to make it out, plus having to haul that huge box with me.

Back to the current topic, definitely install that s2k cluster Simon! Haha
