took the leap and lowered my baby

I got tired of thinking about it so I just did it I got the Tein ss and I gotta admit I love it. The ride just feels better all around I can take corners a little better and my baby just looks sexy

Congrats on lowering your car, looks a lot better than stock height for sure! I wish I had the money on me to take that leap too.. I'm still sort a few hundred until I can order in my BC coils.. can't wait!

+1 on wheel spacers!

The car looks better lowered and I'm sure it handles a little better on sharp turns, but:

1) Tires may wear unevenly, unless everything is calibrated/set up properly

2) Struts need to be upgraded or their lifecycle will be shortened

3) Need to upgrade oem tires for more performance

Depends what you are looking for out of the TSX.

Tein SS are coliovers, STECH and HTECH are springs.

Do get yourself a wheel alignment in a week or so, I have 15mm spacers front and rear.

yeah, i really dont think the stockies look all that bad, some spacers and a subtle drop would do wonders for any ride
