hey whats up guys. so i read the coilover and lowering thread still kinda confused lol. well i wanna slam the rl. i recently just purchased a rl 99 and seem slike there is litterly nothing for this car lol. so i can understand im going to have to do some custom work lol no big deal i can deal with that. i wanna try to go a more vip style on this car.

but what can i do coilover wise. i have been told to use 04 acura tl coilovers and just use my oem top hats. i can deal with that. but is there any other option available.

and as for exhaust systems and intake systems is there any avialble for this car?

 

cause asking about coilovers and im looking at 04 tl function and form type 2 well these coils and im hoping they will work if i just use my oem top hats.

and also i have been told to use tsx coilovers what years am i looking to get? cause im trying to figure out what to do lol people are telling me i can get a good set of tsx function and form v1 for a decent price and they work i just have to use oem tophats on front and washers in rear

 

04-08 TSX. I've heard the type 1 is not good, they are too bouncy.

 

ok cool thanks for answering. i will def look at all the coils for that car now. i mean are they direct fit just using my oem top hats? or do i have do anything else? im just confused on reading all the suspension stuff.

 

To my knowledge, lol you only reuse your tophat and add some spacer for the TSX setup. For the TL coilover, I think it is the same. So far the 04-08 TSX and 04-08 TL coilover fit our car.

 

Everything you need to know for the build...

^^ thanks man. i just cleared my box lol.

 

also im looking around at front lips. is there any that are still aviable? i like the wings west one from what im seeing lol. but where are the ones that are still around at lol. exhaust im looking at just going custom on that one.

 

Depends....

But you have the Kouki front end... Wings West didn't make a 99-04 front lip for the RL. So you either have to build your own lip, which i believe Pro-Parts made a thread about which is very easy to make and very durable... I've torn mine up a lot on St. Louis streets and it is easy to rub away the peeled back plastic and keep on going.

Otherwise, EvolutionAero, Garage Answer, and Skipper makes a lip for our cars... but they are rare and hard to find. Last time i located one, i think MemoryFab quoted me $800 to get it to my door... or maybe that was just to get the lip into the states from Japan. I don't remember exactly.

 

oh ok that sucks. yea i may just have to make my own home depot lip then lol. doesnt look bad but was hopeing for more options. im starting to relize there really isnt alot of options for this car lol. but last question say i wanted to do wide wheels on the car. what size and offset wheels would i be able to do to make it flush with fender maybe poke a little bit. im trying to figure that out as well.

 

Depends on your ride height that you want to go with, the diameter wheel you go with and offset.

I'm on 17x8 TL wheels and dropped a fairly good amount with almost zero camber to help conserve my tires... with a 5mm spacer making the offset (+40)... i rub a bit in the rears and non up front.

but it depends on what you want and then you have to adjust and go from there.

 

hmm. yea i have a set of 18x9 +30 that i was going to test fit froma friend but sounds like that might be alot lol. what is the stock offset and size?

 

That size you mentioned should be doable with a little rolling and pulling.

 

ok cool appreciate all the help im completley new to hondas lol i came from toyota so i have been researching these cars for almost a week now lol.
