Camber kit/ springs necessary ?

Is it automatically necessary to get a camber kit and springs when throwing 19's on a TSX... what would you deem necessary? And would 18's be a better choice ?

It's not physically necessary to get suspension replacements with 19's, but it's probably recommended since those 19's will be rough as hell. I'd consider a much softer suspension necessary with 19's because of the comfort factor.
I think 18's would be a much better choice. In fact, I'd probably stick with 17's because of the performance issues with heavy big wheels.

You should only need a rear camber kit and that would only be if you lowered the car generally.

Yea, you should probably chat with one of the sponsors. I'm sure they'd both love to answer your questions.

Cool guys.... Thanks for the feedback, i definitely will try PMing vendors... I'm a new member, and a newbie to this game, so I'm working on both getting my PM privileges, and choosing which direction i want to go with mods...

Any ideas on what rims would look great with a CGP 05 TSX ?

The answer to your question is, NO. If you're just adding 19's all you need are 19s. You do need to use a 35 series tire in order not throw off your speedometer. You dont need springs.

However, If you do get springs, then you will need at least a rear camber kit. I got mine from Heeltoe.
