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

(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

Are you going for power or looks? When I had my accord, I was in the same boat. I didnt know where to go after I lowered it.

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

Looks great but as others have said, the drop will really bring it all together.

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.
