Three years later... finally lowered.
Put off doing anything to my car since I was traveling between Chicago and Rhode Island for school, but now that I'm done-- finally decided to lower the car!

Lowered -1.3 on Tein Basics w/ 17x8 Konig Runaways.

Is your suspension as low as it will go with that setup? Also did you need to do any camber adjust at that height?

That s2k is nice, red rims on a ssm is what I was contemplating for a while with my tsx, i was going to test the waters by having my stock rims powder coated a similar color.

nice! would definitely look better if it was more low but it looks great nonetheless i know how you feel about being lowered after so long, makes a big difference when you look at your car everyday haha

They look like 18x7.5's if I had to guess. They fill in the wheel wells much better than 17's would.

Looks very nice and functional for daily driving.

How's the riding difference between the OE suspension and the Tein Basics?
