anybody? and please excuse the dirty car.

 

2 finger rule

Nice drop man Or are your transporting fat people, sandbags, or something? Your tint is so dark, I'd never know LOL!

How's the ride quality? Is it still like riding on a cloud? I'm sure the handling is tighter, yeah?

2G legend coilovers?

 

nah....i hardly ever transport anything heavy or anybody except my 2 kids.

but the front is lowered with eibach pro-kit from the 2G Legend. it's supposed to only give a 1" drop but looks more like 2.5" because before, it was 4.5 fingers; now, it's 2 fingers! i didn't get to finish the rears because i was strapped for time, as this car was my daily driver.

so far, the ride is super sweet. not bouncy at all; almost seem like stock. but it may change once i get the rears done.

reason for the title...i just thought it looks funny with the front being lower than the rear.

 

Looking good!

 

Looks good!. I might need to buy those springs....but if i go any lower in back ill probably start tucking tire lol.

 

What are you planning to use in the rear?

 

the rest of the eibach pro-kit.

 

So, the Eibach Pro-kit from a 2G Legend is compatible for our cars. Good to know.

 

Looking Extremely Good! In Ohio I would get a ticket for even thinking about that tint!

 

Now that's a nice and clean drop. I dig it. I can't wait to see it complete. Thumbs up, my man.

 

Thanks for everyone's comments. I was able to finish the rear this weekend and here's a quick pic.....



The rear have a 1.5 finger gap compared to 2 fingers for the front. So far so good. The ride is almost like stock, but one thing I did noticed was the axle vibration upon accelerating. It's most apparent from 5-20mph; after that, it smooths out. I haven't done an alignment yet so perhaps after that it might help a bit. Anybody with this axle vibration wanna chime in on how to reduce or get of it?

 

Lookin spiffy

How do you like those TL-S wheels btw?

I saw a set on CL for $300 with decent tires. What do you think?

Is it worth the upgrade vs. stock?

What I look like now: http://images.thecarconnection.com/m...00003293_m.jpg

I kinda like the benz look that the oem wheels give with a black RL...... BUT they sure as hell are NOT sporty

I'm 19, but still dig the classy look of oem

 

I would definitely rotate tires to see if it is possible issue with the wheel itself and also check the bolt for both axles to make sure they are torqued at its correct pressure. A toe issue will not cause a vibration at all unless you have really loose steering components.

 

Every lowered RL owner will tell you that the wobble is normal. It has something to do with the front differential. You cant get rid of it, but it's not a bad thing. I'm a lil lowered as well and I noticed it on day one.

 

everything checked out good after installation.

i've read quite a few post and that's what everyone is saying also...that the wobble is normal for lowered RLs. i hope there is a way to reduce it or get rid of it, as it's quite annoying accelerating from a stop. mine is more pronounced on the right side. is that to be expected also?

 

Yup. Mine is worse on the right as well. At first I was annoyed and wanted to raise it up, but after a while you'll just shrug it off. There's really nothing you can do. I talked to a tech at Acura and he said it's the angle of the axle going into the front differential. I was told the lower you go, the worse it is. But hey, if you find something, Hollar at me!

 

The ones on my car are from the CL-S, which is similar to the TL-S but wider (17x6.5 vs. 17x7). These wheels look great on almost any Acura/Honda IMHO and better than the standard ones that come with the RL for sure!

 

I guess I'll have to let time tell if I can just shrug it off also. Did you use any camber kits on yours because it looks lowered than mine?

 

Nope. No camber kit. She does sit pretty low, but the camber isn't fubar so my tires are still good. A camber kit is suggested, but with the wheels I'm going to install, it won't work well.
