My car needs to be lowered... BAD... but where?

I just put the Euro-R rims on my car with Bridgestone Potenza RE050's on my car and they are SMALLER than the stock setup. My car now looks like I raised it an inch or three. I'm looking for a place on Long Island that is reputable and knows how to drop a TSX and do it properly. I've been doing research on here and think I need something like the Eibach Pro kit and a camber kit. Any ideas on how much this might cost? Is this all easy to install? AGH! I am so lost....

they're 17s... but the tires have less rubber than the stock michelins...

JTso: i saw in earlier threads you had done a lot with your suspension... what do you recommend i get to drop it about 1.5 inches? i want to keep a smooth ride and not lose my warranty on the suspension. does this mean i should get the eibach kit? im a virgin in suspension land =)

If you are concern about the factory warranty on the suspension, you might want to consult your dealer before lowering. Regardless which brand of springs you decided to use, replacing the shocks at the same time will ensure a better ride and handling.

What happened to the "H" center caps?

Nice rims, I think everyone is in agreement - 1-1.5" lowered will be sweet.

I want those rims (in silver) more than anything, but I refuse to pay what they want for them.
