Lol yea I try to take real pics but they never come out quite as good. A good camera and lightroom go a long way though.

car looks sweet , can i ask what you used to lower your car and how it ride i just purchased cv5's for my TL I LIKE how your car looks

Matts_Acura

I have TEIN SS Coilovers now. They ride pretty smooth and I have mine on the hardest settings. They would probably feel better than stock is I softened them a bit.

kar90z

thanks a lot gonna look into teins i was looking into d2's, because my car is daily driven so i want a smooth ride

Hey matt, just wondering if you had any plans for those reflectors on the rear bumper. Maybe youre a fan of them, but me, not so much. I'm thinking about getting a TL but that ONE thing is bothersome. Just wondering if you had any plans for them or were just gonna leave it be...
Thanks

TL looks good. Any plans for new wheels??

Matts_Acura

Thanks guys!


I had used nightshades and tinted them black. Recently I picked up a set of 2014 taillights (I noticed that the surround area is a darker red vs. the pinkish color that the 2012-13 had, or maybe it just fades that color) and then removed the nightshades from the reflectors. To me I don't mind them too much, the kind of break up the rear a bit. No real plans though they don't bother me too much. Not as much as the long ass front blinkers.


Thank you! Not sure, I'm at the point now where if I pick up new wheels I'll keep the car for another year or so. If not I'll probably pick up something else but what I have no clue. So many options.

i have the same offset as you and i was wondering what tire sz did you use for both the front and rear??

Matts_Acura

I have ran 2 setups.


setup 1) the front were 225/35/20 with the rear tires at 255/30/20, this will allow you the most clearance when lowering. You likely would not need to roll fenders with a moderate drop.


setup 2) the front at 245/35/20 and the rear at 275/30/20, this provides less stretch and more tire but you will definitely need to roll your rear fenders and depending on how low you go maybe your fronts. If I did it over again I would stick with the rear size but would do 235/35/20 for the front.

dizzie23

Im asking because i bought some vossen wheels from some one to put on my 09 tl but the front tires are 245/30/20 and the rear are 285/30/20 . The rear ones rub with fender on dips. Do u recommend me change the tires to.your set up ?

Matts_Acura

I'm not sure what your goals are but if you want to slam the car and really have a "Stanced" look then go with the 255's. If you want a happy medium go with the 275's. The front should really be a 245/35/20 but it should be ok with what you got. Next time you need to get new tires maybe get a 235/35/20. The 285's are pretty big but if you roll the fenders they may be fine, I think a 275 would maybe reduce the rubbing and look better overall.

dizzie23

okay so its best to get front 235/35/20 and rear 275/30/20 correct ?

User Error

Damn your thread fell off to page 2... guess i'll bump it one time... the 235/35-275/30 is the mildest stretch you can go and lower/ slam with 9's and 10.5's @ +35 +42.... if you want to look more aggressive go with the 225/35 255/30 set up... is that what you first set was Matt? 285/30's I think will rub even with a decent roll in the rear... We ran 285/25's for a while which was fine... but the 285/30 will prolly be to much without a camber kit slammed... Matt's 275/30's are less than a piece of cardboard from rubbing... but just lowered can prolly get away with the 285/30's

Matts_Acura

Hah yea... I haven't done much to warrant any updates. I did gloss the faces of my vossens and repaint my emblems a graphite color so I guess I should take more pics soon!

^^^ Those are picture worthy, for sure.

Matts_Acura

Still rocking the CV3's but I bought this other set of CV7's too. Here is a video to give some of you people an idea on how the more aggressive offset looks. These wheels are 9" +35 offset and 10.5 +27 offset. Undecided on what set I will ultimately keep.
