New pics
Here are some old pics of my 98 Accord EX-V6.
Now here are pics of my new car.
Both cars were lowered on Tanabe DF210 springs. Both running Volk Racing GT7 Wheels on Nitto NeoGen tires.

That's pimp yo! Good work!!
Also being a former Accord owner (1994 coupe), I give you respect for getting another one (a la TSX). Ever since my Accord got stolen and wrecked I knew I wanted another one too... It's nice, huh?
Now you just need fogs to finish the exterior.

Thanks for all your replies guys. I'm glad you guys like.
The GT7's are 18x7.5 with a +50 offset. Does not rub at all. Not even on giant bumps or if I have my car full of people. I am running 225/40/18 Nitto NeoGen tires.
As for the Tanabe springs, those aren't my old Accord springs. Since my Accord was a 98 V6, the spring rate is a little different from this TSX. The 2003+ Accord however is the same part# as the TSX springs.
The Audio I just haven't had the time to install any of it yet. I mostly went for looks and handling first. Stock audio is ok for now.

aren't they basically the same car in terms of Horsepower rating? 200hp and 205hp for the TSX. Of course, the TSX is more luxurous 
congrats and your car looks great!

Well, both are 200 hp. Just that my Accord was a V6 so had way more torque. I just needed a 4-door and the Gen 7 Accord sedans I just dont like at all. TSX is way better looking. In terms of luxury, its about the same as my accord was. I mean it had leather, sunroof, pretty much everything my tsx has now.

I'm on the Tanabe DF210'a already. The lighting from the shadows throws off how low the car is since its black so the fender gap looks bigger i nthe pics then it does in real life.
The tanabe's ride really good. I believe its a 1.8" drop up front and a 1.7" drop i nthe back. A llittle lower then the Tein S-Techs are. I don't know how H&R's ride since I've never used H&R's before. If they ride the same as Neuspeeds, the then Tanabe springs are a tad stiffer then the Neuspeed sprot springs. On the accord, I went through 5 different suspension setups thourghout the 7 years I had it. I had sprint springs, Neuspeed springs, Weapon R coilovers (which sucked), Tanabe Sustec Pro Type-SS, and then finally the Tanabe DF210 springs. Out off all of them, the Neuspeed rode the most like stock, but the drop sucked. The DF210 gave it the best drop I think, and rode pretty well for being so low.
In the end, I decided to go back with the Tanabe DF210 springs for my TSX since I was quite pleased with them on my Accord. So far, they ride great. I'm still on stock shocks though. I'll probably keep that setup till I blow something, then upgrade the shocks to something a bit more adjustable.

No camber kit on the car. I've never used a camber kit on any of my cars. Plus, even if I have more negative camber then I should...the Nitto NeoGens Tires are made for negative camber, so they wear out more evenly then regular tires do.

You bastard!!! Up here in Canada winter is 6-8 months of the year. I ride on steely wheels and Michellen artic ice tires...usually Nov-March. Must be nice not worrying about rust and salt and washing your car in the freezing weather to make sure salt is gone.
But it must suck to worry about hurricanes...which we dont get up here.

I got gas already finally. Lets see, I waited till today, which is saturday and didn't ahve to wait in any lines. I also got gas at 8:30 in the morning so maybe that's why. 
Regardless, I'm glad I finally got some gas! In case anyone is in Miami, Doral has lots of gas right now. Pretty short lines. I got mine on NW 87th Ave. between 12th streeet and 25th street.

So how long have you been riding the Tanabes on the stock shocks?? Think they're gonna go anytime soon?
I know I can't expect long term durability when running stock shock/struts but I'm really trying to get an idea on how long I CAN expect to get outta the stockies considering the fact that tampa's roads are pretty pothole free.
Sooner or later I do plan on going to tanabe Sustec II coilovers but I can't afford that for a while and I'm REALLY hating the wheel gap i've got with the 19's on my car.

Wow...what a blast from the past. haha.
97AcuraCL - I am still on my stock shocks. It's been almost 2 years it seems to be riding just fine still. Then again, I only have less then 15K on the car. I really only drive this car to and from work every day which only totals like 40 miles.
As for pictures...they are gone? I dont even remember where they were uploaded to the first time. I'll try to see if i can reup them.
