AXIS HALO's: 18x8.5 + 29 offset (estimated)
TENZO TYPE-M's: 19x8.5 + 45 offset

Rear Fenders are Rolled

I wanna run basically the same wheel size set up as you and about the same ride height, maybe just a finger higher all around. Do you ever have problems with rubbing? Especially with people in the car or when turning.

Car looks great...
first pics are awesome...nice and slammed...not so fun to drive but looks pretty parked...2nd set of pics are perfect..no wheel gap and looks great IMO. There's a fine line between ghetto slammed and classy drop. You nailed it.

I know there's probably a thread on it by did you go from a newer Type S to an older TSX?

Also...I had megans on my RSX...but I was under the impression that you're supposed to leave the preload alone and use the bottom perch to unlock and thread into and out of the bottom bracket to raise and lower it. I think you're using your preload adjustment for changing height. I guess whatever works...Maybe I didn't understand it to begin with.

Thx

I did go from a 07 TL-S to 04 TSX...long story short, trying to save $

The Megans didn't come with instructions...I assume that set-up..but I now think im going to look into to it before something bad happens, now that you mention it.

Sled looks nice! Love the drop. Slap your tint guy for cutting out your third brake light. You can easily slip the film behind it.

I like it!

Let me know what you find out about the megans...probably no harm in adjusting what you did to lower it more...I had a hard time figuring mine out too...I know they are more adjustable but I think that's why I like the straightforwardness of my Tein's now.

Anyway, again...looks great...and if it saved you money to go TSX...then that's all that matters. It's not THAT much of a downgrade anyway IMO...especially when gas is over 3 bucks a gallon again.

Looks real nice, but is that a imitation Euro-R badge? The "R" looks ridiculously huge to be authentic

Yep, its an ebay euro-R badge & same for the trunk "H" badge & JDM Fogs....

Its good enough for me....I find it hard to spend $50-$60 on something that you can get for $10 That still looks pretty much the same.


plus you're the only one that has questioned it....Good eye
.

I know it'll prolly bother alot of "JDM heads" out there, but I'm not that petty....as long that it looks good, thats all that counts for me. IMO

How is the fitment on the Sarona spoiler? How is it mounted? Does it come with the mounting materials? I have an 04 with the A-Spec kit and deck spoiler and I love the way the car flows with the Sarona. I need to pick one up. Thanks.

I dont believe its the Sarona version....

I got it off ebay from "PROJECT10K" which is located in Brooklyn, NY which is the same location for SARONA DESIGNS.

So, who knows..It might be from SARONA.


But the Fitment is Ok,
They could have made it about 1/8" longer,
then it would have been flush with the end of the side of the window
.

But its still a good fitment.

I installed it with 3M 2x sided tape with the adhesive pad i bought from carquest, which i would highly recommend. It make the 3M tape sticks alot better....

Just make sure you align it right the 1st time, cuz that adhesive really makes the 3M tape sticks.
