^^Nah, if you dealt with the types of cars I deal with the majority of the time, you'd definately call it scrubbing.

Actually had the back loaded down with 4 slicks, 2 wheels, one of my tool boxes & a spare Z6 head this morning. It tucks with room to spare, so I have no concern about the rear tires touching

That is njprettyboyz (sp?) TL. Find his user name and find a picture thread started by him. That thread will probably have specs on the wheels.

car looks sick on those wheels, congrats!

do the tips you bought have the goofy 3A racing "logo" engraved on the top of them? all the tips i've seen are engraved and they look shitty like that. i have a feeling if i get tips with that logo, my car will look like a pepboys photo shoot, so that's a no no.

No, mine have no logo on them. I don't know if it makes a difference but thes were in shrink wrap, not boxes. I've seen some in boxes that had the logos engraved. I went to Advanced and there was just a bin full of indivually wrapped tips.

It honestly rides no different, probably rides better now if anything. I went from a 225/35-19 Nankang to a 225/35-20 Toyo. The ride is very smooth w/ this wheel setup on the Eibachs. I actually have the 5th wheel as a spare that I hope to get time one day to do the audio/trunk setup with it...until then, it'll just sit there in the trunk

will do, I use a 225/30-20 on the spare wheel to cut down on space a little, I hope to have time to look at it and lay it out this weekend.

My 1st thought when we picked up the 03 was " I need to swap the taillights"...but I don't think that'll fly, so I'll be buying a set I guess

What size/brand tire are you using on the 19's?

The 20s ride perfectly fine. I want to go lower, just have'nt found any feedback on the ride quality of the K sports on the TL yet. I run them on my other car, but that is totally different.

Here's a better shot

I have Falken Azenis ST-115 (235/35/19) tires now.

Hey, I wonder if the Acura factory wheel center caps will snap into this wheel? That would like very nice

Ksports are really stiff. If your looking for a coilover setup that is close to stock in terms of ride quality steer clear of the ksports. The 20's actually look good.

That's odd. From my experience, the H&Rs have always handled, as far as comfort, just like the Eibachs. What wheel do you have? Do you know how much it weighs?

death-Ksports are really stiff. If your looking for a coilover setup that is close to stock in terms of ride quality steer clear of the ksports. The 20's actually look good.
thanks, for the info
I use them on Civics alot, but have never put them on a heavier car where ride quality was a big issue. I'll search some more on different setups. May have to just look into a spring/shock combo or sleeve coilover/shock.

^^^^ I have the Zenetti Five Chromes. Keep in mind, the TL Type S rides stiffer than the TLP anyway, then the HR Sports make it ride a little harsher. Nothing terribly bad, but there is a difference. On highways, the ride is very comfortable, but get into the city with joints and concrete/asphalt splits, I certainly feel it, even with my stock 17's. My struts are in great condition also.

Well..the TL is scheduled to be sold tomorrow...so sad.
Selling it on stockers, the 20"s are staying to be sold seperately. I hate to sell this car, but I have to get a truck for business purposes.

I'll be pushing the bone ass stock 03' TL I guess when I have withdrawal symptoms.
