2009 TSX w/ Enkei GTC01, Eibach Pro Kit, CT-E carbon fiber grill

As promised, here are some pics of my car after a wash and wax. Rims are 19" Enkei GTC01s with 245/35/19 Bridgestone Potenza Pole Positions. I suck at composition but hope you enjoy anyways:

I like Enkei, and they're totally flush with the fenders front and rear.

Nice!

Thanks for the comments, everyone. Here's a closeup of the grill that I took previously (note the missing emblem):



I bought the grill from a local tuner shop called weksos, because I didn't want to wait for shipping.

This was my first time doing any modifications to a car and I'm really happy with the results. I learned a whole lot from lurking around these forums so thanks goes to you guys as well!

Yes, lowered 1 inch front and back with Eibach Pro Kit springs. IMHO, the ride does not differ noticeably from stock.

Do you have a closeup pic side view to see how low the front and rears are?

I noticed in another thread that you mentioned your fronts are higher than your rears. If you're looking for a pic to see if mine's that way too, I could give you one, but just so you know, it's the same. The rear is lower than the front, or appears that way anyways.

The fenderwells are cut higher than in the front because the front wheels turn. The car is a forward rake design to begin with so the 1.0 F/R doesn't disrupt that, but does visually accentuate the gap F/R.

Hi, I think it depends on what your specific requirements are. I know the Eibachs were designed to work with the stock dampers, and to me the ride quality is good enough and I don't plan on replacing them.

Cosmetically, I would have preferred a slightly lower drop. I've seen some pictures of cars with H&R springs and they look good, but I've also heard people question the reliability of them, so in the end it's all personal preference.

Thanks eh? spec. I think I saw your car when I was researching the GTC01s. They look real nice on your car as well. It's a shame what they did to the new TL...
