Talking Pics - Finally got rid of the wheel gap

After dealing w/ my 4x4 MT Navi-TSX for nearly two months...I finally got rid of the wheel gap! I like the outcome very much and thank LannyM and AlterZgo for their suggestions. I installed the following late last week:

Neuspeed Koni Adjustable Shocks (Spring perch set to 5-lowest)
Comptech 110-155
Ingalls rear-camber kit


I am leaving at 3pm to Orlando, so unfortunately I will not be available to immediately respond to your comments.
Enjoy

That's the ride height it should have off of the show room floor! It looks gooood! I think everyone should lower first and add rims later.

The Comptech 110-155 spring was listed as a 1" drop front and rear when it was listed as a TSX application. It's now listed only as a TL application, still 1" drop. They claimed it was not a true 1" drop on the TSX, but I believe it is. Also, caz has the Koni's set .5" down, so it's a good 1.5" drop.

LannyM is right! It is probably between 1.5 and 1.75. I have a manual, so AT would be a little lower/

Actually, it is very close to stock, if not better at times! It is a tad stiffer, but it handles bumps like stock, but corners way better than stock! My car was at the dealer before I left to Orlando and my service rep raved about how great it drove for a lowered car!

Sorry everyone for that late responses...I just got back from FL about three hours ago!

You have the same springs as I do, but I'm running OEM shocks. how do you like the Koni's now? Where did you get them from?

lol...I don't think chrome looks that bad on a black car! I will check it out though before hand to make sure it looks good, and if it doesn't, I will consider another finish!

I love the Koni's...which are the Neuspeed versions that offer two more perch levels. I can't really give you a comparison of oem vs Neuspeed Koni since I never had the Comptech Springs on the OEM shocks, but I love my ride quality and ride height! I purchased them through eBay from asw88 like many others. He doesn't have any listed right now, but he sells them for $574.99 after shipping. GL
