My TL-S Progress

First things first!
Lowered all the way down on tein coilovers (still looks high)



Got a hold of some 3rd gen wheels


This is all the way down on a smaller tein coilover spring


This is the height it rides at



@Acura getting my recalls done and H1 freeway pic with visors on!

Prepping for black headlights and fogs housing

No bags for me. It cost too much and think I'd rather buy some aftermarket wheels instead!

I had actually bought the tein suspension second hand from craigslist and the guy threw in a set of the smaller tein coilover springs. It rides okay considering that it is used. The shocks could use a rebuild.

Nice! I was hoping to see the SSM from MKSHFT's photo thread, both cars looking good!

Do you have any side profile pics showing the height from the original springs from the Teins?

Thanks man! The first two pictures is all I got with the original tein springs all the way down. The top of the tire (45 series) sits right under the fender not tucking.
