Just got RonJon 18" Inspyre Chrome

I just got RonJon 18" Inspyre Chrome rims with Kumho 711 225/40/18 tires and i was wondering if i should get the a-spec suspension or get a eibach pro-kit springs and stick with stock shocks .

From what I have heard it depends on how much of a drop you want. IMHO, even though it is only a mild drop, I would probably go with the a-spec because you could keep your warranty. But to each its own.
p.s. PLEASE POST PICS OF YOUR RIDE. I have never seen a tsx with chrome ronjons yet! Very curious!

Welcome to the board!

Post pics where we can see the whole car and the wheels.

Regarding lowering the car lets see the wheel gap first. The A-spec is a moderate drop about 1". So depending on the wheel gap you may need to go lower: springs, shocks (optional, but some members recommend changing) and a camber kit.

Another option the tire size 235/40/18 on the Inspyres lMO look good without a drop. check out this thread for pics of the Inspyres with the 235/40/18:

Man, I would love some of those Inspyres in chrome, but its way too expensive for me. Ah well...

I know its still going to be too much for me, but how much if I drove there and picked up?

Call in, there are so many variatins of the same wheel for different cars with different diameters and finishes, I can give you a personal quote according to whether you pick up and we do a photoshoot, if you have ba car and wheel combo that hasn't been done, etc...

BTW, BoredSer, can't wait till you get some pics of the setup, I can def use them on our website. keep me posted, that would be a first for a TSX with chrome Inspyres.

Hmmm.......interesting.

Well, first off, I don't have the TSX yet, but its supposed to come in sometime in March. And I would probably want the best discount, so I would probably want to have a photoshoot if possible. This is my exterior plans, let me know if this would be considered a photoshoot possibility and then I'll call in for the quote:

2005 Nighthawk Black Pearl Auto TSX w/ Ebony Interior and Navigation

Modifications that will most likely be done within a month:

1. 35% Tint all around
2. OEM Kit
3. Eibach Pro Kit
4. Greddy Evo2 Catback (may or may not purchase this right away. Depends on whether it would help get a nice discount for the photoshoot)
5. 18" Chrome or Silver Inspyres (Depending on what the cost would be)

I think you guys already have a black tsx in your gallery though
