Hey guys as the title states my car seems to be falling apart. It is an 04 TL 6spd. Lately I have been noticing that everything is falling apart on it. It does have 130K on the odometer but a new car is not necessary as I barely drive since I work from home.
Here is some info about the car in case anyone is wondering:
Lowered on Tein Basics ( bad move I know) willing to buy new coilovers for it but please recommend a good brand that will not be bouncy and ride quality is almost close to stock but a sportier feel. XLR8 Exhaust and J pipe etc.
Lowered about 2.5-3".
Here are some of the issue I am experiencing:
1. Vibration while accelerating especially at higher speeds. Tires/wheels are road forced balanced. I just installed new tires on a few thousand miles ago. Bridgestone Potenza 970AS Pole Position. Im guessing its the Axles. Where can I buy the Raxle ones so I do not run into any more issues with these since I am lowered about 2.5-3" all around. Do you know how much they run.
2. Clunks whenever I hit a bump. I'm guessing it has something to do with the top hat/mounts/compliance bushing/ control arms etc. I am willing to change all of it as long as the car will run much better. I have had the coilovers on the car for about 25K so thats when i purchased new top hats directly from Acura.
3. Rotors seem to get warped extremely quickly. I am currently on my 4th set of brakes since 2009. About 5-6K ago I installed slotted Stop Tech Rotors with some PosiQuiet pads & Goodridge SS brake lines, and they are completely warped. Im guessing it is my Brembo Calipers that are jacket up. I found OEM rebuilt ones from Centric online for a $190 a piece plus $150 core charge. does that seem reasonable or does anyone know of a better place to get them from? I think the website was autobrakecenter.com.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I am missing anything i can do to improve any of the issues stated above.
Thanks in advance.
