You would look like a civic Drag car.
It would be hideous Stock rear blc its too high. Only way i could imagine it
Bying a set of Front Springs and Seperate rear but not sure if they do that. Then it would be mis matching companies to achieve the down angle you want.
Not clever imho.

Thanks Bro!

MoaarLow

If i dont want to tackle the RSB we'll link up again and get it Done.

By The WayJake (StreekKa) did the DIY spring Install, as well as does other side work.
Very cool fella, sat there and bullshitting for hours. Recommended!

Thanks Again!

Mr. NC

3 fingers in the gap *giggle*

Nice drop bro


How are the metallic reds? I'm not big on posits but the Galaxy/Big Bang posits intrigue me lol

MoaarLow

Will Have Pics of the Rear Tomorrow. Theyre just begging for some Spacers

MoaarLow

Thanks Bro

Ive seen pics of them uploaded by friends on FB. Look pretty sick.
Mine should be here in 3-5 days. Ordered them online. I cant do that camping dude lol

Im not to crazy about the Galaxys. Ill for sure be buying a pair. But im not 100% sure ill keep it. May just use it to flip

ssjoeboe9

dude... stop posting pictures and making me jealous!

swarlos

Looks good! That drop is perfect. The finish on the 2012 wheels are lovely.

MoaarLow

Sorry Bro Motivationnn slammmmm your ishhhhhh
Thanks Sir. Appreciate it

Will try and post more pics of drop tonight, To give any person interested in Stechs exact drop. Rear Shots today hopefully

MoaarLow

A few More pics of the Drop for anyone considering Tein S Techs










I heard a Scrape and noticed these little flappers. So every time i hear a scrap its them!





Look What came in the Mail, My 4500k DDM Foggies.




Ill be At Menlo tomorrow so those who go can see the drop for themselves. Theres no gap. The tires actually go slightly under. If you stick your finger you have to angle up. MOAARLOW?

ssjoeboe9

Dude noice! Now come to Florida!

MoaarLow

Id love to take that drive! Whats actually pissing me off is my Mileage. I have to keep track of it so i dont go over. Looks like im going to Commute wl my fathers car to work for a little while. Leave the CU2 for the weekend. In the summer time i know im going to rack up mileage!!! Im at 1900 Now. Just hit 2 months of owning.

ssjoeboe9

Almost at 60,000 here... Im at 2.5 yrs. I put on close to 1,000 a month going to school and work :/

MoaarLow

I wish i could get to 60k. But its gotta go back. Im undecided on keeping it after the lease. Im thinking about the V6 or back to the what will be 2014 STI Sedan.
My Old Pictures just make it hard to move on

PyroDave

i have 27K in 22 months. thats less than 2 years hahahaha im over as hell

MoaarLow

What do you plan on doing? Did they offer the mileage forgivness if you lease another Acura?

ssjoeboe9

Get the new NSX! I shit my panties during the superbowl!

denwhat

looks awesome! fits your username now haha

Go moarlowww lol :d

Ack4life

Looks good, I want to change all my lights to LED's as well.

MoaarLow

lol it isnt practical for me. And way out of my price range lol. If i want a NSX i need to get back into college NOW!
lol finally!!! i was getting sick of the monster truck look
I thought id want to go lower, but im actually very satisfied wl the height. Any lower and moving around NYC would be a pain in the ass. Wl my Subaru i had to get at the illest Angle to tackle any bump for drive way... And even wl all the trying a $400 CF lip got destoyed....
Go for it bro. Its a really cool and cheap mod

^^^ makes a ton of sense....i wudnt drive my car in NYC....never....i drove from St Louis to NY (1000 miles) but parked my car in Jersey and took the bus/PATH over to NY....

TSXy Luster

Haha yeah that rubberized sorta bargeboard down there has caused me panic twice since buying my car.... Always would think that the front bumper got destroyed only to find out everything was fine... but now I try not to park so forward anymore :p

ed_423

What's the little flap for anyways? Aerodynamics?

MoaarLow

lol those things suck. Going in and out of my jobs cleaning bay they scuff. It's fine tho. whatever!
The worst Bro. idk how there's dudes on a 9.5/10.5 rim wl stretched tires around me. Just nuts and not work the risk for me!!
I have no idea. Maybe to push Debris that we would roll over or go under the car? I have no clue but they're annoying and give most of us heart attacks when they touch the ground!

TSXy Luster

I'm pretty sure that bargeboard (not really a little flap since it spans the entire width between the tyres) has little to no beneficial aerodynamic properties for our cars due to it's shape.

I suspect it might be a way of directing the air under the car lower to reduce the noise that comes from there into the cabin.

All I know is that everytime I let someone else drive my car, they ALWAYS end up scraping that and it freaks everyone out!!

swarlos

I actually kind of appreciate the flappers. When they touch a speed bump, i know to go extra slow. Its like my car telling me, "Slow down bro! I'm gonna scrap." lol

musty hustla

Isn't there a pair at the rear of the car too?

Mr. NC

The flaps are for noise reduction. I cut mine up to optimize airflow into my TT setup...wait what?

MoaarLow

I wont cut mine up i was just curious to what their purpose was.
Anyone whose installed HID fogs through the bottom bumper, Howd you mount the ballast?
I may try it today at work while im free.

Also, Does anyone have 3000k? If the white on white doesnt make me fall in love ive just made up my mind on going yellow if all else fails. If trade my 4500 for 3000

mrstak

iTrader: (1)

Why didn't you bring them to the meet to have Dave do it for you?

I think some people just left the ballast on the bottom of the thing. I'd try to zip tie it somewhere or use the 3m tape and zip tie together. I wouldn't worry too much about it while driving...I just don't want it sliding around.

MoaarLow

It was my first time out, And i didnt want to spend my time there working on my car. I also didnt have a blanket or something to lay my bumper on, dont want it on the tar.

ssjoeboe9

^ that's why I went with LED's... fogs don't do much as far as I am concerned since our HIDs are extremely bright. I just wanted the color without the hassle, so LED was the choice for me.

PyroDave

theres a flap on either side under the car for foglight access. it'll be extremely hard for you to do now especially since you are lowered. you can also turn your wheel all the way in, and take off the screw and a clip or two and access the fog from the wheel well. or you can just wait till sunday since i have to take your bumper off either way if you want me to take the resonator out you bumfuck. plus its snowing right now(atleast in philly) and im COLD as balls

MoaarLow

That would have been so simple

Thanks homo thug, I checked it out, it definitely would be hard to work in that space and mount the ballast somewhere decent and out of the way.
i found some sick places and ways to mount the ballast.

My cousin wants to order fogs for her accord, Which are H11 and she wants 4500k. So if i dont like the look i have someone to unload the bulbs to.

PyroDave

i know where to mount it, just be patient you damn fool

MoaarLow

Hurry up gayman. I Can't see at night I should have went with 20,000k low beams and fogs to see better

MoaarLow

HIDS are finally installed. HUGEEE Thanks to the Bro Pyro for trooping it wl me. we had a few small roadblocks but we made it work!! Bulbs are DDM 4500k. They appear a little more blue in pictures, But they still have a blue tint. Which im a little upset about. Either that or they sent me the wrong bulbs.. Whatever!

I received the kit with the 2 small metal tabs. Which had to be inserted into the stock Fog light Plug. Its a very weird set up but it is what it is. Figuring that took a while. & Also my Bumper was being a slut and didnt wanna pop off, She put up a fight but eventually gave in to the tugging.

A DETAILED DIY will be made but im exhausted and have to be up for work early so heres a quick rundown of what we did.

Removed the clips on top of the grille cover/Plastic that runs along the very front.

Went to the fender wells and removed the screw from the Passanger and driver side

Under the car there are 10 Plastic clips that need to be removed.

Pry each side, and the pop off the midle, pretty simple once they start popping off

Wire up the fogs and just do the opposite for installation


BEFORE PICTURES








INSTALLATION










Make Sure the Bulb is Inserted with the right shape things. Whatever you call them. Look Closely for those who wouldnt do it and try to force it




DONE

I Hadda Take advantage of $3.60 93Octane in NJ vs $4.11 at the BP around my way!!

tobwac

4.11
glad i live in area where the gas is way cheaper its 3.44 now

swarlos

cars looking better every day! $4.11 ouch...

PyroDave

hahahaha the funniest part was that i texted you saying "how much you got left in the tank" and then told you to not fill up till jersey so you could save 50 cents a gallon, AND not pump your own gas. gotta love jersey!!

did i mention it was COLD AS BALLS TODAY? we nearly froze out there, and yes he got sent the fucked up bulbs/ballast, instead of mine. his are the same as the ones npathak used in his DIY, mine have a cap on the connection to the OEM connector.

to add before he puts the DIY on the bumper removal. there are 8 clips holding in the plastic part on top. you have to take that off. then there is a screw in each wheel well. underneath the car, in the middle there is a black liner that sticks about an inch under. behind there, there are 6 clips. on either side of that, there are 3 clips, so 6 more in total. take those off too. then pull the bumper off from the wheel wells. theres clips around the headlights, mine were fairly easy. you just really gotta tug it. it feels like it might break. pull it off from the grill area and pull hard but be careful. also remember, the fogs are still connected, so don't pull it far away from the car. to take off the fogs, theres a clip near the bottom, press down on it, and it'll release the connector from the bulb. then turn the bulb left and pull it out
