Nice updates, can't wait for the finish product

ebelp

Hole? What hole?


I'm sure I won't have the patience to wait and you'll see me in 20 degree weather in the snow installing stuff hehe...

Thanks!

Yummy. You're pretty daring for pulling up that far in the parking spot

agreed. i'm such a paranoid fuck when i park my car in front of things like that.

feel like mel gibson in braveheart.

Looks great ..almost just like mine...I'm getting visors next

ebelp

I actually edged up to it on purpose to see how close it would be. I think it's probably 1-2mm from touching haha.

Tyler, you ain't paranoid about curbs even one friggin bit! You pull up to it and over it and THEN you decide you're too close for being lowered...

ebelp, what a great progress thread. Gorgeous car and so tastefully modded...was funny to see you start with "don't care about tucking tire" to what you got goin now. ALSO in for the moar bright ambers...

ebelp

Thanks! Yeah, thanks to this site I've grown to appreciate the look of a slammed TL and after I mounted my Works for the first time, I wanted to be able to tweak the ride height.

The next step is a good front/rear camber kit. My tire wear was bad enough with the Supercup kit...now that I'm another inch lower, I'm expecting it to be even worse.

nice photos! your car looks great

in the one photo did you show kumho tires waiting? i'm looking into kumho tires and if you installed them (assuming those are kumhos), what do you think of them?

Chef Andre

Great looking tl!

much respect to you for doing your suspension in the freezing cold!

ebelp

Thanks! I've always been a fan of Kumho tires. I only had the pictured tires on for a couple weeks since I took them off for the winter, so I don't have a really good review to give, but I did notice that they're much quieter than the BFG's on my stock wheels.

Thanks!

I think it was in the 30's...not too bad for NY in in February, but not exactly warm. Under Armor FTW.

I really do take the 70 degree winters in South Florida for granted!

ebelp

...and the fact that FL is flat and has decent roads so you can slam your car without worrying about it too much. Me = jealous.

Those amber leds in yet?

ebelp

^ Not yet...been too cold and rainy. Itching to get them in though...

ebelp

Winter again. Got some new grip to help cope.

^^^ those look like Bridgestone Blizzaks....

awesome in snow i hear

ebelp

They're actually Dunlop Wintersport M2's. Got them CHEAP on ebay.

Thanks for correcting me....

Guess both of them look very similar:

car looks great!!, I hate how my wdp looked almost brown because of all the snow last winter

those new coil overs look DOPE !!!

car looks awesome...

ebelp

Yeah, my TL is a lovely shade of brown right now and I can't wash it because my doors will be frozen shut the next morning.

Thanks, I hope I can survive the winter being this low!

Damn dude you are low as hell now lol

Fortunately these just came in the mail bc my rear tires are dying quickly...

06cmv6

Ingalls is the best...I have them on my car and have been using them for years with no issues

GtMaxx

your car is sexy slammed keep up the good work mengggggg. I was a little bit lower when i was in NY but thats y i left the snow to go to the smooth roads in FL lol. Jus dont drive to quick over ice and youll be fine that low in the snow.

iTrader: (5)

Ingalls FTW !!!

looks like you got both front and rear....right ?

ebelp

Thanks...I don't mind driving in the winter, I just don't like not being able to wash all the salt and grime off. It's going to get up to 40 degrees tomorrow, so I may try to rinse my car off, but it's guaranteed that my doors and windows will be frozen shut in the morning.


That's actually just the rear kit. I had some Amazon gift cards that I used for them, but didn't have enough for the front kit hehe. I'll pick that up eventually. My rear tires are wearing reeeeally bad though. Ironically, all the Hondas I've lowered in the past have always only had uneven wear on the front tires, but it's the opposite with my TL.

Spent last week in Vietnam to go to a wedding and for a short vacation with the wifey and some coworkers. HCMC is a great place for food, shopping and night life. Spent most of the trip in Mui Ne on the beach though. As you'll see, I love taking pictures of all the good food I get to eat. Here goes...

Pre-flight cocktail...to those who care, the United lounge in Chicago sucks compared to Hong Kong

Seaweed salad w/ marinated snail:


Spotted a Hello Kitty airplane LOL:


Dinner with friends:




I ate pho for breakfast (and sometimes lunch) every day I was in Vietnam:
