the springs are H&R sports, and they've been on less than 24 hrs, so they will definitely settle. the wheels are TL knockoffs, and i was thinking about painting the rivets a darker color-what do you all think?

Hmm, I kind of like the rivits the way they are. Just my .

So how much lower is the car going to settle? I'm considering springs for next year but because I'm at the max for offset I don't want to rub. Those are 17's you have, right? How many inches would you say the H&R lowered the car? I know it's only been 24 hours but how's the ride quality in comparison to stock?

if i didn't know otherwise, i would say that is a CT drop. and i too think you should leave the rivets be.

btw. that's a crazy backdrop. looking good though.

the ride quality is amazing. they are the sport springs, so the ride is more responsive and stiffer than stock. the stearing has tightened up noticeably, too. The wheels are 17x8 and stick out quite a bit more than the stock pizza cutters, but no problems rubbing. I'll post some pics during more daylight conditions as well as soon as I take them. i'm going to charleston, SC for thanksgiving so maybe I can take some better ones.

LOL, yeah- a few guys have asked about that. i chose the "industrial" type look because it's better than snapping pics in your driveway and yard, etc. there is a big industrial plant in the background but a few pics didn't fit it in, so here's another one:

Looks real good. I love the TL Knockoffs. Keeping the look real clean gotta love it.
The Backround you got there is sick loving it.

the tint is 20% performance tint, i got the TL knockoffs because I like the wide-spoked look, the rivet-studded look is sweet as hell, and the price was $450 for four (on ebay, search "17 acura sport.") i like 'em. i also just sold my stock cl-s wheels on ebay for $300, so it wasn't that expensive.

im not a fan of fake rivets, and i'd rather have the OEM wheels cause they're enkeis.. but hey, to each their own.
