New Pics of my CGP
As much as I fought myself and talked myself out of it... I finally gave in and got new wheels and dropped my 2007 CGP.
New Mods:
Tein H. Techs
TL A-spec 18x8 +45 wrapped with General Exclaim UHP 235/40/18
I didn't really want a big drop, so the H Techs are perfect for me. I love them and surprisingly I think they're more comfortable than the stock springs... Thanks to Dennis from i-modify for the install.
The weather wasn't as nice today, so the pictures aren't that great, but enjoy

Thanks! And thanks again for your help regarding the TPMS sensors, I ordered some from ebay and setup an appointment with Curry's Auto and it turns out the a-spec wheels did have the sensors already in them. At first I thought the system was reading the stock tires in my trunk (when I was driving home), but to my surprise, whatever tpms sensors in the wheels it's working.

just fyi, the TPMS will not give you an error up to 100 miles of driving. to test, I would inflate or deflate one of the tires and see if it reads it.

haha yeah... kinda funny because I bought a set of the a-spec suspension during the group buy and ended up selling them, but I definitely like the drop with the H Techs

Great looking car!!
What if I install the H-tech on my A-spec struts? Will it be even lower? What do you guys think?
I am not allowed to post pics on this forum? Why is that?

I got the H Techs from High Performance Outlet off ebay for 160$ shipped, really fast shipping. I ordered them during the afternoon and I got them the next day.
