2007 Acura TL – Suspension Upgrade
After a few months of research online, I’ve ordered an upgraded suspension. I really miss the way the sport suspension on my Mazda felt and I can’t wait to get everything installed.
For a sports sedan, the TL rides very soft. In tight corners or at higher speeds, the car has a tendency to bob and weave. And although I may be trading off ride comfort for a flatter, more responsive ride, the ride is so smooth right now that it feels a numb and detached from the road.
My upgrades include the OEM lowering springs and struts, which are part of the A-Spec handling kit, as well as an aftermarket adjustable Rear Sway Bar from Progress Technologies.
Second, they only sell the suspension parts as part of the larger A-Spec “handling” kit, which costs a few thousand dollars more because it includes body spoilers, another set of mediocre tires, and a whole new set of rims – none of which I need.
Your best bet is finding the parts on eBay – and with a 25% off discount for accessing eBay through Microsoft Live, it’s a great deal.
Parts arrive in a week . . .

So what was the result if the new parts?
i posted my thoughts on this AcuraZine forum here: http://tl.acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=694630&highlight=
this was a fantastic upgrade. the combination of the RSB and the stiffer springs really makes this car hug the road. but the ride quality is not harsh at all; in fact it is still quite smooth and i am thinking of tightening the RSB even more.
i have also recently upgraded to a cold air intake from AEM, which i will post about in a few days.

Thanks for the tip man - did not know you could buy suspensions on eBay but I'm always on the lookout for places to buy car parts.
