New drop and wheels
It's been a work in progress, Just installed buddy club coils and bought the 18" Tech Package wheels. I was hesitant about how low to go because of the road conditions out in NE so I stuck with this height for now. It's been fun learning the DiY, not sure what the next step is yet, after all, trying to keep it classy ![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
(Sorry for the lack of variation of pics, I haven't gotten around to adding them all up yet)

I appreciate the feedback, I think I'm going to make the adjustment next summer, it was hard to gauge how low it was going to sit when they were first put on, but I definitely agree. This was the first time I lowered it off the jacks whoops!

Other than the gap what would you guys suggest? I'm trying to avoid being "ricey", my mods are listed in my signature. I know most people go headers or exhaust but I think since I'm nearing 100k I won't be looking for anything major, call me a hypocrite but I do like the mugen grille...just not the price

Wow that does sound great. A few months back I came very close to getting the Apexi World Sport II, I love that sound but too little actual function for the price, and my exhaust was working just fine. I've been upgrading as the parts go, you know? I think at this point it'd be kinda silly to add power, It is a 5AT after all. I've been looking at some other cars but I love my tsx too much, I'm going for high mile club! lol

I would definitely get OEM not aftermarket, especially if you're trying to keep it classy. I bought them from someone on here, I'm in between classes but I could check my history a little later and see who it was I bought them from. I think it was like 800 shipped so I have no complaints.
As for the drop, I really do want to bring it down another inch after winter but it seemed really close to rubbing already, there is very little clearance (width wise), so I'm not sure I could really lower it anymore without rolling the fenders. Any input would be greatly appreciated because I agree it would look better a bit lower.
