CMF,

Nice Mods - one of the nicer TSX's I've seen thusfar. Are those 35 tints or 50 .... looks like 35 but hard to tell sometimes.

Gave it about a 2.75 to 3 inch drop in front, probably a 2.5 to 2.75 in rear.

whoa i was guessing the front must've been 1 inch more than the rear, some part of the tire is actually tucked inside the fender isnt it? did you replace the shocks as well?

Coilover set-up...it's a whole new spring/ shock combo that is adjustable in ride height and dampening. It was tucked a hell of a lot more initially, but I could not get it on any alignment racks, so had to bring it up a bit.

Thanks for the positive comments all!

Actually, I think they are all there! You can drop the ones on the second page if you want. Also, I replied to the PM prior to reading this thread!

Kaikai114-- I am not too sure how low it is, but w/ the kit, it won't scrape. Maybe a few speedbumps here and there, but I always take em at an angle anyways, to save the bottom end. I am planning to get the Euro R kit someday. Right now all funds saved are going into the RSX-S turbo fund!

personally if i got the dough, it'd be kenstyle kit all the way or the mugen kit. but i think i saw someone selling the Euro R kit in black market u might wanna check it out. talk about RSX Type S, i'm thinking about trading in my tsx and get the 2005 RSX type S, there are the good and bad sides to it, but still weighing them out, got any thoughts?

also, after seeing ur sweet ssm, i've found similar rims with same styles but it only comes in Chromium Black aka Hyper Black, how do you think it'd look? i've got the ssm too

I had a black color wheel on my silver Civic, I thought they looked nice.
I love my Type S. That is why I have put the TSX on the back burner for a bit. That car (RSX) is so quick, with so much potential. I am just trying to aquire some easy funds to get it going.
To me, it would depend on what your intention is w/ the RSX. If you don't plan to drive it hard, or mod it, I would stay w/ what you have. Also, I don't like the look of the 05 RSX. I like the wheels, but that's about all. I am not feeling the change in the lights, too civic looking to me.

Hey cmf, indeed very beautiful and clean ride. I never thought the car can look so good without the bodykit. Anyways, how do you like the buddyclubs compared to stock? I see you have the camber kit, are your tires rubbing? Thanks.

Buddyclubs give me a near stock ride as far as dampening is concerned w/ better handling. You always have to give a little bit of your ride up when altering a suspension, but the car rides great. Rear camber kit is installed, so no problems with that, and no rubbing at all. Even when the car was a bit lower and the alignment all jacked up did I not have rubbing issues.

It's a beauty, so sharp-looking.

I love the backgrounds in all your shots too, excellent work.

i totally feel you, the most noticeable change that's so similar to the civic is the bottom of the front bumper where the fog lamps and the front air inlet is... that just looks totally civic to me for some reason, maybe it's just me. what mod you got on ur rsx type s? show us the pictures!!!
