Puppetmaster's 2011 TSX Wagon
Playing around with Flickr since I'm officially giving up on Photobucket, and starting a new picture thread because I can't edit the old one. Took some low light pictures with my GS3 this morning just to mess with. Tried some editing using Aviary and a filter because that's what the cool kids do (and usually the worst pictures are most heavily edited).
2011 TSX wagon, got it in April 2011 with 7 miles on the clock, and kept it stock for as long as I could.

The car is lowered on Eibach Pro-Kit springs, with Koni Sports (Yellows). Rims are Volk CE-28N in titanium gunmetal, 18x8.5 +30 ET. Got some bald 245/40/18 Falken Azenis RT-615 on now, but those will be replaced by Conti ExtremeContact DW this week, along with a much needed alignment and fender roll.
My suspension install notes are here, but as you'll see all the pictures are down, but I'll try to transfer them over to Flickr:

Here are some from earlier in the summer that I moved from Photobucket.

You don't have any pictures with puppets sitting on your car? I thought you were the puppetmaster?

Thanks for all the kind words, everyone. I've been contemplating the OEM front lip pieces, but even though those don't hang too low, I'm already scraping on certain speed bumps and parking garage ramps. Maybe one day I'll have the money to do an Aero front conversion instead.

However I am not disappointed in your wagon. Looking great

LOL I'm sure my kids have at least some finger puppets in their toy chest somewhere, I'll take a look for the next photo shoot.

Hey, I haven't been around much and missed this. Looking really great there! It's also good to see that one of the originals that researched the lowering issue is finally on a drop and wheels. :P

Thanks, wish I had real pictures like you guys though . Took me a while to decide because I kept going back and forth between this set up and H&R coils. The Koni + Eibachs ride so nicely and really are more than enough for me, plus after the alignment and new tires (ExtremeContact DW replacing the bald Azenis 615), it's like a new car - so stable and turns on a dime.

How do you like the Conti DW? Mine tramline like crazy and follow any tiny grooves in the pavement. It's kind of annoying.

sounds like you need an alignment.

I've gotten two or three alignments while I've had them on.

No issues with the DW at all, before or after the alignment. I really like them in both dry and wet conditions. They are not on right now but I did notice them starting to get louder, but that's always the case with summers.

Here's the obligatory winter picture, nothing exciting.

Got it. The only thing is that my Thule cross bars are the set that I use for my wife's MDX, so they stick out considerably when installed on my car. Doesn't bother me, but I've had passengers hit their head on them somehow getting in and out of the car. Oops.

I just love the lines of the wagon... hope to get some better pictures once spring actually arrives.

Thanks. The wagon looks so good in its own right, I really didn't have to do much at all.

Great wagon
I joined the forum just to communicate with you
Details on the tint?
