Quick little update. I finally fixed my burnt led in my taillight by replacing the board and it looks so much better. My OCD was kicking in whenever I saw it not light up. Also, finally bought camber kits so I can stop rubbing! Have the SPC sitting in my garage awaiting install. Also, have a front precat I'll be swapping in tomorrow (I snapped 2 studs and picked up a used one for cheap). Then I'll be replacing my flex pipes on my RV6 j pipe with solid pipes and adding a flex pipe on the catback where it sits higher (Finally no more leak!!!) Here's a few pictures
Bottom right led in taillight was burnt
Fixed!

Replaced the flex pipes on my RV6 j pipe with straight pipes and added a flex pipe onto the cat back where it sits higher.. Sounds much better than before but thinking about adding a resonator..
Few friends and I at a meet up. I raced that TLX and beat him.. I was surprised. It's a V6 AWD..
On a walkway haha..
Booty
Here is a picture of the new solid pipes replacing the flex pipes on my rv6 j pipe. There is a flex pipe on the catback now. As you can see.. they are scraping in the picture. I was parked on a shoulder and there was a small ledge and it just hit the ground. Im glad they won't create leaks like they did when flex pipes were in their place..
So rainy season in CA is starting and the Nankang tires on my Avid wheels are terrible in the rain. I've been wanting to put my stocks back on with better tires for a while but I did not like the color of them. Finally got around to sanding them and painting them back to silver! Drives so much smoother and feels good not rubbing on every little bump. Kept 20 mm spacers in the rear..
I painted them again. I need to stop. I think this is like the 6th or 7th time
Let me just start off by saying your build is incredible man! Those wheels along with the stance you have put on it are such a sick combo. How did you get the brembos though? If you don't mind me asking. I'm really wanting to get a set myself but haven't yet found where to purchase them. Contemplated just painting my stock calipers but I hate that :/

Thank you! And yes as mentioned the 6MT comes with brembos as well.. You should paint your stock calipers. It still looks good and adds some color behind your wheel!

6MT is the way to go! Drove an auto 08 TL for a year before purchasing my manual and it was the best decision
He actually has his coils set pretty high in that picture. We lowered it about an inch all around after and he plans to get wider tires and then working on better fitment. I got some TE37 reps.
This is how the rear sits.. 18x8.5 +15 with a 245/45/18. Im going to buy some 215/40s for it all around. Currently sitting on stock wheels because my car was not drivable. All 4 fenders sitting on the tire
well seeing as how the min tire width on a 9inch wheel is 235, a lot of shops just wont do it as it is a stretch, but your right its not an extreme one

Per big box stores (discount tire, etc), the limit for 225 is a 9" wheel. so most stores will do that but don't like to. i used to do 225 on my 8.75" and that's how i found out
I will say that there is a weight load for each size tire and the oem at 235 is *correct* for the weight of the TL.
Not saying there will be a problem, but that was a consideration I had overlooked when originally running a stretch.
