Is this TSX lowered?

I love the wheels, but I don't really want to mess with the suspension of the car at all. This car does not look lowered to me....or is it?

No, those pictures belong to a fellow member Lou01. They were taken back in April 2009 and the car wasn't lowered at the time.

He has since lowered it with Tein HTech:

I guess it's not shopped but that first pic is weird looking because the rear side of back tire seems to receive a lot of light while the back of the car doesn't.

I agree the car looked fine not lowered. Lowering almost always makes it look better though IMO.

I think you can get away with not lowering on these RonJons because they look like they could be OEM.

I've lowered every car I've owned, but the TSX's wheel gap is minimal, so it almost looks mildly lowered. I just don't want to mess with the suspension on this car....I told myself that I wouldn't do anything to this car and I'm already looking to tint it and get these wheels. Its a sickness!

Yeah I'm not going to be lowering mine either--I've also lowered almost every car I've owned but this isn't going to be one of them....I said I wasn't going to mod this car but I already picked up some Mugen GP's from another forum's groupbuy! I don't think there's any medicine for this sickness

Tishkevich, your car had the 48mm offset, then the 32mm offset. just to clarify.
And the first pic def was not lowered.
