Those rims are gorgeous, I want. Although the wheel gap looks bigger than normal. Maybe its becaue the car is blk.
THANKS MAN!! yeah, I am thinking about getting a little drop. Can't afford it right now...I got the rims for 1250 including installation.
peace.

i noticed the wheel gap looks bigger when I have the 04 TL 8" wide rims in (same wheel diameter compared with stock tsx wheels). it's just an illusion that since wider tires protrude more outward, so u'll see the wheels more clearly as well as the wheel gap. all u gotta do is SLAM IT LIKE U MEAN IT! but either way, very nice wheels, matches up with black tsx

i guess looking at the stock height with the a spec rims. and comparing it to the a spec tsx i saw at the dealer yesterday - the a spec tsx is a lil lower, still too high, but lower than your car.
your car looks good, if you lowered it - it would look better - but it looks clean the way it is.

with 17" I'd think Eibach Prokit will give you the balance between sleek and classy, but of course if you got bigger rims, you can go lower without looking ricey imho.

alot of people here are fans of the a spec, but i cant tell the diff, i guess it is better than stock i guess.
the ride will get uncomfy with just springs tho - i can express how much i regret getting just springs.
i would get springs, shocks, camber kit and alignment all at once.
believe me, if you dont have the money now, i would just wait and save up and get it all at once.

i have tons of pics, you just have to search button. i have 19's tho, yours are only 17's...and now i have tein flex coilovers - no longer the eibach pro kit.,
trust me, do some serious research before you mod your suspension - i bet your ride quality is soo good right now - lowering it will def make your car a lot stiffer, unless you're used to it, which it doesnt seem like it to me

good luck, any more questions, feel free to ask.

tein flex is the way to go if u have the cash, how much does it run again? around $1300ish right dzuy? if not, u can buy the springs and shocks separately, for example Eibach Prokit + Koni Yellows will run you around $700. tein flex is fully adjustable while koni yellows have 3 settings
