I Finally Did It!! **56K Warning**

Figured I'd post my Koni/Comptech setup, I know there are others but I've always found it hard to see the wheel gap on black cars, thought this might be useful!



^Car looks great and ride is AWESOME


^An old dumb pic, but shows just how high it was before the drop (I claim title for highest TSX, any challengers??)


^My '04 TSX, Mom's '06 ML500, Dad's '04 RX330

If you want pictures of front/rear wheel gap let me know, I have them.

Thanks to everyone who helped me decide on this setup, and if anybody needs a shop around Boston PM me, the place I did this is great.

Looks like an alignment is needed badly in the rear.

The very first pic shows that a camber and toe adjustment needs to be made, big time. I'm surprised you haven't mentioned the car dragging to one side from the rear.
The pic above you can easily see the camber.

It probably drives fine and he doesnt notice it at all. Negative camber owns.

What spring perch do you have the F and R Konis set at? Are you using regular Koni yellows or Neuspeed Konis?

I suggest dropping the front 1 level or raising the rear 1 level for a more even front to rear stance.

It's Neuspeed Konis and they are on the lowest setting on front and back, and as far as the rear, I had a loaded trunk (moving back to Boston for the school year) so those couple hundred pounds may have made a difference I'll wait a few months and see how it settles, but I think it looks okay as is

Looks good! I think you would have won highest TSX 4x4 before though.

Haha, this seems to be the favored TSX suspension setup here in MA (Konis and springs that is).

Car looks great.
