I recently purchased a 2010 Acura TSX with technology package. I upgraded from an 8th gen civic sedan. I've got a thing for white cars so that stayed the same! I'm just getting started with this car so I wanted to show my build as it progresses. So far I've done all cosmetic (except for the intake). I replaced the DRL's with yellow bulbs, debadged trunck emblems, window tint, oem deck lid spoiler, oem mud guards, replaced all interior lights with LED's, did some vinyl tint on the taillights, swapped out the exhaust finishers with ones from an 8th gen Si, installed a short ram air intake (kept having issues with CEL, so I put the stock setup back on and installed a K&N filter), mugen rain guards and plasti dip on exposed chrome trim past the guards, and a Rhino roof rack. I ordered some H&R sport springs today so I'll post once those are on. I threw in some pics of the old civic as well. Let me know your thoughts and thanks for the support!

Logic tells me H&R's drop is more, so expect higher natural negative camber if not adjusted. Just wondering how much that is.</p>

I'm going to wait about a week to align. I'll post specs when I do!

I had my alignment done this week. With the H&R sport springs (1.3" drop all around) they were able to align to factory specs. The TSX has rear camber controls stock, so it came out spot on!
<p>Very nice! .. but correct me if I'm wrong, we only have adjustable rear toe?</p><p>What were your camber degrees all around?</p><p>This really has me swayed towards lowering the car, but then gotta rethink how much life my shocks have left at 56k.</p>

Yeah you're right about the toe controls. I didn't get exact numbers but when I called the shop he said my camber was "to factory spec". Wish I had more info for you. I put a set of TL Type S replica wheels on this weekend. Here's the outcome...
FYI Your shop feed you bs , toe is probably good but not ur camber , well not in spec anyway ! Toe is adjustable nothing else ( except with aftermarket camber kit) !
I love that grille but i like it more when people gut out the middle bar. I would have bought that grille a long time ago if I never got my stock one painted
