You can! There are suspension-lowering kits out there that are compatible with all kinds of makes and models. Before getting your
Acura TL Type S
lowered, however, you’ll want to consider the pros and cons of doing so, some of which include:
Pros of lowering your suspension:
  • Better handling in some aspects, like if you need to make sharp, unexpected turns
  • Better weight support, which helps with faster braking and accelerating
  • Better aerodynamics, which can improve fuel economy
  • Lower risk of a rollover
  • Some drivers find a lower suspension looks better
Cons of lowering your suspension:
  • Less clearance for obstacles in the roadway
  • More difficult to perform undercarriage maintenance
  • More at risk of damage on uneven roads and rough surfaces
  • Risk of bottoming out
  • Less ride comfort
Whatever you decide, it’s a good idea to take a look at your Acura TL’s current
car insurance
policy to make sure it’s giving you and your vehicle the protection you need. If you’re looking for a new policy, the
