So what I'm looking for is the lowering springs for the 2nd gen TL's I would love a 2" drop but I know that might not be possible with lowering springs, since 1.5" is the lowest i think and that was the Tanabe NF210's. So can anyone help?

The Wald Duchalets that I have for sale are the PERFECT offsets for this car LOL:biggthumpup:

I think the factory lip kit looks great on this car and isn't that expensive. Try to add that to your plans if possible

The wheels belong to me but the car doesn't. That belongs to my good friend Rodney. anyway, the model of the TL is different than the one you have but the offsets are pretty much the same to obtain flushness

P.S., I thought you had sold those wheels and that you photoshopped them on the car. Those wheels will look sick too

x2 on the accord springs. They are interchangable. I had some Espelier springs here for the TL for the longest time but then got an RL instead and sold them. 1.8 or 2" drop I don't remember now.

whats the purpose or route of the car? i would suggest coilovers if you want to go low without spending the cash on the air kit.

you can get used coilovers at the price of new springs and shocks.

no no no young one... the wifey loves the versatility of air and the ride they offer in comparison to coilovers, she used to drive a '94 accord with coilovers and doesn't miss the stiffness of coilovers so she isn't new to the concept of air since she is the only other person besides myself that drives my car hahahahaha :biggthumpup:

for springs, i think Eibach sportline, or the H&R race springs will achieve a 2" drop, not positive

2nd gen lip kits are hard to come by now. if you're lucky a dealer will still have them for about 800. if not well you're gonna have to find them used for 400 bucks for fiberglass off of ebay. but it does complete the car, makes it look a lot better.
got a 2nd gen tl myself. i would LOVE to see how you hook up the air on this

thanks for the info guys i'll look into the neuspeed since i want to acheive the most drop on springs possible. Yeah Eibach does do 2" i checked hahahahaha, and on the kit i'll end up going whichever way i can find it! as for the air I know that UAS was supposed to come out with the airsus kit for the 98-02 TL and the accord of the same years
