Maybe down the line, but for now I'm going to take it easy and enjoy what I have. Maybe I'll complete the kit once I get bored... Hopefully thats not too soon.

CMF: thanks for the headsup man 
jvjave: how do you like the euro headlights? do you notice a difference in the beam pattern? and are there any comments you would make on them?
I'm considering getting a pair, but once I heard about the beam patterns being shifted to the opposite side in the euro headlights, i'm not sure if thats safe or not.. ya kno?

Rotors look good and are very good quality. The seller offers a warranty against cracking or warping. He has a very good feedback rating, so I went with him.

if you don't mind me asking, how much did they charge? i seriously do not want to do it again, even though it will probably be easier because the tsx doesn't have 10 years of road-grime and god knows what else between the rotor and hub. that and i don't have a garage anymore.

My only comment is that I think the grille needs an H or an A or something. Just looks too naked IMO. Everything else is the tits though.

Sweet!
I notice you have eibach pro-kit drop.
I currently have a set of TEIN coilovers on order, and most likely i'm going to have my ride lowered about a total of 2" all around. Do you think it will rub a lot with 19x8" (225/35/19) wheel setup?
And would getting a camber kit and setting it a little negative, would that help enough to not rub?
sorry for all the questions, i just wanna make sure i make the right choices before going out and buying something

If you get 225/35/19, it will make the tire skinnier, but then your rims will be more prone to getting damaged. So I opted to go w/ the 235's. On Pirelli's, it squares off the tire nice and doesn't pull on the tire, if you know what I mean.
The camber kit is a must, even w/ the ProKit drop its noticeable. W/ a 2" drop and w/o a camber kit...Whew your going to be riding on your inner rim....Oh, I almost forgot... Get the Ingalls kit...I got mine from UltraRev.com Alot of other members have gone that route also.

whoo, that is a very nice looking car man. i wish i had that kinda money. Yours is definitely one of the best looking ones here on these forums. i'm guessing there's a lot of headturning going on when you're driving around.

The ingalls kit, if i choose to drop my car like more than 2" or 2.5" will that matter?

I'd say get the camber kit...I just ordered mine, you're gonna want it for the rear especially. Ingalls only has kits for the rear right now...that's all I'm getting. I think there is enough play for the front.
