-=They're finally here, Eibach Prokit w/ TL rims!!=-

Finally got the prokit installed yesterday, wasnt too difficult at all. Front struts were easier to remove than the rear, I had to disconnect the upper arms in order to take out the rear struts. Overall, I love how the car rides, low enough to look aggressive but not too low to kiss bumpers and such. Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think


















Here are a few pictures to show you the camber changes and how the TL wheels are in flush with the fender.





SPC Camber will be here on Thursday of this week, I'll install them and have pictures of the car with cambers corrected by the end of this week.

Looks good. It's not that low as you said in the other post. Well, I guess I'll see it in person in about 2-1/2 weeks, right?

Yup exactly, the meet is almost here. I will have a set of 18s that look just like your volks, only they're made by Sports Max. Looking forward to seeing you and your car there

then again, i love how the tl looks (especially from the rear).

it looks great and i can't wait to see it at the meet. i've never seen another tsx with tl wheels except for the pictures on az. it's just too bad i won't have mine next to it, that would make for some good pics i think since i have sportlines. oh well, maybe next year.

Nice drop, but I always believed cars of the same manufacturer should never swap rims. It just doesn't look right

Those rims are mine! After 2 easy payments of 299.99 hahaha! But seriously, I'll have them on my car soon! And I just got my Otto Carbon Fiber Lip spoiler "installed" today. It's very stealth, but overall, nice looking.

Looking forward to seeing all SoCal'ers at the meet!

that's what I like about this forum, you get opinions and suggestions. I think the TL wheels look a lot better on CG TSX than SSM TSX, have you guys seen JTso's car? His car looks sooo sweet Check em out, its totally different.

Cobalt, hurry up dood, I can't wait to get my 18s!!! And I wanna see how these wheels look on your car! Ohh also, I'm picking up the 18" rims this week, will post some pictures

I don't think they look horrible. They definitely look better than the stock TSX rims IMO. What 18s are you looking into getting?

Here are a few other pictures I took today after a full tank of gas. The ones I took yesterday was on an near empty tank. The rear, after a full tank of gas, is lowered an additional 0.2"~0.3"
