I actually like my 99-01 tails. Everyone does the 02-03 so I'm gonna stick with the ambers. Pointless money to spend.

P.S. No you can't have my body kit, sorry.

Move the 3.2TL badge back about 1 inch. It shouldn't be right at the edge like that.

For me, the camber kit was a must. My alignment was all screwed up and there was no adjusting it. And I actually like the ride better now.

I had to buy new rear struts because they were leaking. But I left the front alone. Labor was free and my tech said he didn't care if he had to take it all apart again.

x2

hate fake rivets...
car looks awesome though

and as far as the 02-03 thing, dont see it as a trend. because people wouldnt do it so much unless it looked better.. same reason the factory changed the look. 3 colors on a tail light is kinna busy!

i put my 99 tails up for sale after i swapped and i couldnt even GIVE them away..

Good thinking. Anyone who drops their car NEEDS the camber kit, especially for coilovers. As soon as you lower the center of gravity on your car, the wheels are gonna sit funny, and wear really quickly. You will actually save money in tires, by purchasing the camber kit (front and rear).

btw, I love your amber lights. I only agree to keeping them on the WDP TL's. Anything else is a no no.

camber kit on coilovers are only good if you NEVER touch the coilovers. Any slight movement will waste the alignment.

True. I have heard that if you get your alignment done at Discount Tire, they will do a free alignment for 3 months. This is to give you time to mess with your height adjustments.

Ride is like stock and the camber kit really isnt necessary. You will be ever so slightly out of spec for camber but as long as you get an alignment to get te toe straightened out you will be fine

so that means it may be true for your case but not necessarily "anyone" who drops needs them.
I had my car lowered about 2.5inches all around and after an alignment, I had no problems with camber or uneven tire wear.

everycar is a little different with this for some reason. My old integra needed a kit but the tl didnt.

Well from your pics the drop shouldnt have been enough to need them.

If your car is too low the lasers on the alignment machine wont match up and you wont be able to align your car.
