I'd never waste my time or the salesman's time taking a look at an ES300. Hell, I'd never look at an IS300. Nor would I look at an LS430, LX430, or RX330. I'd look at the GS430 tho...

Why would I suggest it to shaf? Dude asked about putting 15's on his TSX.

Shaf, the other thing you have to realize is you just drove the TSX for a very short distance; the car probably had no more than 300 miles on it.

The suspension will break in like the rest of the car. Once the springs have been used/gone through their travel, the shock pistons traveled up n down a couple hundred times and the oil been heated, things will smooth out. While the accord parts might work, it is also a modification. Modified cars have a lesser resale value than a stock car.

If you do anything, my suggestion would be to go to the 16" wheels, possibly from the RSX (according to the Acura web site, the type s has 11.8 discs and uses 16" wheels), but I'd check the fitment to the front before buying. I'd also look at keeping the stock wheels...not many people are going to want to buy the TSX when it comes time to trade or sell it with 16s on it.

Other than that, I'd suggest you look at something else that better fits your driving style and price range.

I will, but only if there is a category for "Worst Reason To Buy A TSX Over An Accord"
