Take off the sunroof visor!! HURRRY. Prob double sided tape

cu2wagon

Ones I've seen usually have two small brackets on the underside of the visor. Attaches to the sunroof visor and the inside the sunroof opening on the roo . Open the sunroof and look towards the front while inside the car.

Totally reversible.

Took off sunroof visor, added AP2 exhaust tips. Now time to do something about all this silver/chrome.

cu2wagon

I've felt that way about chrome on every car I've owned up until this silver wagon. Personally, I don't think the chrome looks out of place with the blue/silvery color and I'm afraid the typical matte black or plastidip job would look out of place with such a light color.

I think your wagon looks great as is and you've got me reconsidering adding the oval tips because that does look better.

Farhat

Great looking car!! I have a wagon myself. its black though. I am wondering. what is everyone doing for lowering the car?

Cant wait to see how the lack of silver/ chrome turns out!

cu2wagon

Tein Street Basis seems to be a pretty solid choice for the slam club.

I'm still weighing Eibach springs with KYB struts because that's worked for me in the past. But once you factor in the cost of new hats and misc bits, its almost a wash.

Farhat

I don't know if I need to be in the "slam club" I wonder how the ride is.

Well you won't be able to slam it to the point where people are wondering if you're on bags or not. But you'll be able to tuck tire to say the least.

TEIN Street Basis (and TEIN Basics) are indeed very basic. Dampening is not adjustable, and preload is directly affected by change in ride height. The lower you go, the harsher it'll get.

I tuck tire on my OEM stockies with the shitty Michelins they came with. However, I'm like 1/2 finger gap on my summer setup (because of the thinner side wall). I could go lower, but definitely not by much if I wanna be able to drive the thing without feeling like I'm driving over train tracks the whole time.

All in all, I really enjoy them for what they are. They're affordable, quality, street coilovers for a decent price.

Tien Street Basis about half finger gap all around. I drive three kids to school everyday the ride is awesome.

xtcnrice

You have one of the best looking CW2s out there!

Farhat

Thats perfect!! exactly what I am looking for! I think once I hit about 60k miles I'll replacing my shocks( and springs) with some coilovers.

dhuynh

Looks good! what did you do to black out your chrome trim?

chuonthis

Vinyl wrap

Farhat

Is there a kit? or did you cut as you went? or did you take them off?

thanks!

Hi! I'm also a (recently acquired) owner of a 2011 SportWagon! LOVE it!
I needed something to haul my dogs to shows and trials and ~really~ didn't want an SUV.

I've had my wagon since last August and everyday I get in it I have to pinch myself! LOVE my wagon! Had to have it in the shop last week and they gave me a loaner; a 2015 TLX. The only thing I liked about it was the back up camera. I was so happy to get my wagon back!!!

Brandontrek

Well here is what your wagon would look like on BC coilovers(I will be selling them very soon)

What are the size/offset of your wheels, and do you know how far you're lowered?

Nice ride by the way!

Brandontrek

Specs here(lol):
http://miami.craigslist.org/mdc/pts/4971055001.html

I added a 5mm spacer in the rear. I had these wheels leftover from the red speed3, ironically I am selling the TSX because I bought another speed3.

2012wagon

Which speed3 model ? I had a gen two celestial blue, loved that car. Sadly needed but more space

Brandontrek

Well long story short, it is a 2008 gen one(the best looking...lol) with 5k miles. It was a freshwater flood car. I got it for under $5k. Everything on/in the car is like new save for the motor. Full motor rebuild and I will have a new 2008 speed3 for under $8k.

2012wagon

Awesome

I know everyone likes gen1 but I like gen two
Awesome deal

Does anyone know why I cannot always see the pictures you guys post? I know it'll be something simple/stupid, let the ripping begin.

dhuynh

How much adjustment do you have left? and hows the ride on the BC coils? I had them on my old car, but with the extreme drop kit, was not comfy. lol

Brandontrek

I have had BC coilovers on 5 cars. My experience is then tend to spring too stiff on lighter cars.

I have the adjustment at 3/4 soft on the TSX. I have found that is about perfect for my 60 mile a day highway commute. When I was in PA driving on the fun mountain roads, I put them at 1/2 soft and the car felt much more responsive.

I have the height adjustment about 1/2 way down right now. I can still go much lower, but this car has huge overhangs and any lower would be a pain.

A little update

pbook4g5

Lookin good! How much did the roof rack cost you? I've got my old Yakima setup from my Accord, but I've been debating on switching to the Thule.

dhuynh

I lucked out so much on this.. I got Yakima Whispbars and a thule box for 150 locally at a garage sale. Just had to pick up a fitkit

dhuynh

Merry Christmas ya filthy animals.

2012wagon

Merry x mas!

Wonder if our 21 cubic feet Thule box we use for camping fit our wagon

Puppetmaster

FWIW, my 15 cubic foot Thule Ascent 1500 fits fine. Could probably go bigger too.

2012wagon

I will take some measurement and check today
I think it's about 90 inches in length

92.5x36x18

slyslysly

Is anyone using the OEM accessory crossbars?

tecono1

I just posted the same question. They're tempting to go with since they're cheaper than a new Thule or Yakima set.

dhuynh

A bit of an update

dadwagon

Very nice looking wagon, love the color and the ride height.

What did you end up going with suspension wise?

dhuynh

Tien Street Advance Z

Also did this a few weeks ago
