rims, look of stock tsx
what do you think is the best look for a stock suspension/no body kit black tsx? I was thinking 17" for ride quality but would go 18" if it makes the car look much better. I have a window tint and looking for the dark rims with the silver around the edge....any thoughts? im worried it might look no cool at all w/ no body kit/suspension drop....

If you look at the subforums you will see a forum titled "Tires, Wheels, & Suspension". This should be posted there. That's the proper place, and the place for the best responses.

Honestly... you don't have a choice.
The look you're seeing, and the look you want is lowered.
And it's also with a body kit.
No rims and/or tires can produce that look.
If you want your TSX to look "right," you'll have to lower it and get
a body kit for it.
No way around it.

so after searching and googling all day what I have heard is tein coilovers=harsh, good performance; eibach springs (with or without shocks) = progressive springs pretty soft ride, mild drop. My wife will be doing freeway driving (around 60miles a day) so im thinking of going with an eibach and springs + better tires for a soft nice ride and look sweet....any thoughts?

My suggestion is Tein CST coilovers.
You can in no way catagorize a whole company in one statement.
Tein makes lots of different coilovers for lots of applications.
The CST coilovers are probably nicer, way nicer than you could even imagine.
However you won't get a deep drop with them, probably no lower than a finger gap.
If you want the drop you seem to, you have to use coilovers really.
And I think even the CST won't be low enough for you.
Do this and help yourself out a ton:
Get a ruler or tape measure.
Go to the car.
Measure from the fender down, how low you want the drop.
Front and back, write down both.
Then when looking at suspension, make sure the maximum drop
number match what you want out of the drop at least.
Sounds to me like you want to drop lower than springs will let you.
I was going to originally going to buy the Tein CST coilovers for a superior
ride quality, but I want to drop lower than that.
Here's some Tein Coilover info on drop height:
Basics:
Spring Rate (F/R, kgf/mm): 10/6, Lowering F/R: -2/-1.6 Inches Down
Minimum Drop F/R: -0.5/-0.6 Inches Down
Maximum Drop F/R: -3.3/-2.4 Inches Down
SS:
Spring Rate (F/R, kgf/mm): 10/6, Lowering F/R: -2/-1.6 Inches Down
Minimum Drop F/R: -0.5/-0.6 Inches Down
Maximum Drop F/R: -3.3/-2.4 Inches Down
CST:
Spring Rate (F/R, kgf/mm): 7/4, Lowering F/R: -1.1/-1.2 Inches Down
Minimum Drop F/R: -1/-1 Inches Down
Maximum Drop F/R: -2.2/-1.9 Inches Down
Flex:
Spring Rate (F/R, kgf/mm): 14/8, Lowering F/R: -2/-1.6 Inches Down
Minimum Drop F/R: 0.2/-0.3 Inches Down
Maximum Drop F/R: -4.2/-2.9 Inches Down
Flex Mono:
Spring Rate (F/R, kgf/mm): 9/6, Lowering F/R: -1.5/-1.4 Inches Down
Minimum Drop F/R: 0.7/-0.1 Inches Down
Maximum Drop F/R: -3.3/-2.7 Inches Down

This is an online forum where (majority of) people do endless hours of reading weather it be for fun, or out of boredom. If you've got the time to click on threads, yet start one; you should have the time to type everything out properly. People don't text each other on the boards, there's a keyboard for christ sake. It's not like you have to press "2" three times to get to the letter "C"..
