A-spec to RJ Legend

Recently switched from A-spec wheels to RJ legends, all the car needs now is the a-spec suspension

Thoughts/comments are welcomed.












btw the A-specs are for sale if anyone is interested.

Love 'em!

But aren't you the "headlight guy"?....So clear out those headlights! I think the car will look a lot better with the orange piece removed.

I like the tint as well, what percent is it at?

I agree that A-spec suspension kit would be perfect. Gorgeous car. What size wheels did you go with?

The rear windows are 20% and front ones are 35%.

I am trying to source some clear diffusers out of salvage JDM Legend headlights through my sources in England, lets see how that works out. Once they get in I'll commence work on the lights.

how does it ride on 19s vs the 18s? does ride quality seem similar or does it ride too rough now?

Not bad at all for 19", just have to watch out for potholes etc more carefully now

im actually like blazin, RJ wheels always seem too busy for me. your aspecs are clean as hell a lil rich for my blood but clean none the less.

on a side note i have brand new aspec springs still in the box ill let go for $140 shipped if your interested to complete your setup.

i like the orange in the headlight. It gives it some contrast and helps the body color POP

i agree with gus... once you go with whels that size, you need to lower it. it looks funny with that ride height.. at least to me.

i'd put on H&R springs and drop it lower. it will look 100x better...

how much does the aspec suspension drop it? i think it might need a little bit more than what that package gives, have you considered aftermarket coilovers

btw i like those, way better than the type II

I love them, of course. The Liquid Silver really has a unique look in those pics, very hard to capture in photos.

Approx 3/4 inch. Next larger drop is probably H&R, about 1.5 F and 1.4 rear

A-Spec is new dampers and springs, not just springs. Well worth it.

These are my favorite rim ron jon rim. The 5 spokes look like we... 5 spokes...lol. Might as well keep the stock ones on. These RJ are no more busy than stock TL Type-S wheels in my opinion.
