before the drop...










after the drop...

 

Nice, how big was the drop?

 

jgarcia, hows the ride quality?

 

1.6 in the front and 1.4 in the rear.

 

impressive. way better than i was expecting. it was a 30 min drive hm from where i did the install (mostly freeway) and it was smooth.

 

OOO S-Techs...I'm lookin at H-Techs myself...how is sag?

Not sure bout your rim situation but spacers on stock rims is muy bueno

 

i like the negative camber, but ive been thinking about spacers because of the wear on the tires. idk, ill get wheels/tires in a month or so...what do u mean by sag?

 

When you get fresh springs, it adjusts to the car/weight/etc/I don't know what else to call it. Hence you sometimes get more drop than the stated 1.6/1.4 drop sometimes you dont...but from what I have read/researched sag does happen

 

nice drop whats would be next wheels?

 

nice! and welcome !

 

looking good. I also got S-techs on for about two years now. definitely get spacers. it definitely makes the wheels look flush with the car.

 

i want to stay with honda/acura parts as much as possible and really want the HFP 19's in polished aluminum. i am having trouble deciding on what tire i want. i am leaning towards 235/40/19 but not certain.

 

thx! i have gotten so many ideas from this site, i cant thank each of you enough.

 

i dont wanna sound like a kiss ass but u are part of the reason i decided to go with the s-techs...have your struts held up? roads in phx are decent and i drive mostly highway so i think i should be ok. also did u get a camber kit?

 

Ed is our leader. ALWAYS listen twat he says.

 

even when it seems like im pulling random info outta my ass

hidden car feature: start the car, leave the car in park, and floor it. leave your foot there and DO NOT take your foot off, even if it sounds like the car is going to explode. you will be surprised in what happens next

 

the back wheels were at -2 degrees they are now at -1.25

 

Is that the God Speed camber kit off ebay? I was looking at them too and was doing tonnes of researching. You should write up a detailed review of these as I might go for those ones or the J power ones. Looks good man and post more pics of your stance

 

When getting this camber kit, do you need the full 3 arm kit or will 1 arm be enough?

 

3 arms and you were only able to bring it 0.75 or you want some negative camber

 

i wanted a bit of negative camber. i only needed the camber arm but the complete set was $200 so i got the complete kit...link to the item is below.

best i could do w/ a camera phone.

 

I know TTK5 requested a review but I gotta ask for as well from a quality standpoint...ebay being ebay....

 

i read about one guy who experienced some squeaking on his 08accord. also another accord driver who had trouble with the install cause it wouldnt fit absolutely perfect but he hasnt done anything like it before. other than that the reviews of the godspeed camber kit and j power camber kit have been positive..especially considering the price. the other options for us include sbc, megan and eibach but they are pricier. mark from throwdown said something like the main benfit of brand name camber kits are the value they retain in the black market when trying to sell them off later. quality wise i guess ebay isnt bad. one guy used his ebay kit on the track and all was good. another guy went on a road trip and no problems either. sorry for the long post!

 

sure, i dont mine giving my thoughts once i give them a chance to prove themselves. and i completely agree when u say "ebay is ebay" but it's not all bad. *crosses fingers* install was easy...really easy...the kit did not come w/ instructions. we did one side at a time. we took all 3 arms off and put the bolts back in there spots so we didnt get them mixed up. then we laid each one out and adjusted the new ones to look exactly like the stocks. once we did that we tightened the silver screws before we put them in. then we ran into one minor issue. there are bolts welded to 2 out of the 3 oem arms. (i forgot which 2 sorry) we just picked up 4 lock washers and 4 bolts from ace hardware. once we had those we installed them. the only piece that we had to slightly bend out was the camber arm on the brake side. (check the very bottom pic its the one furthest to the left) did the same to the right side and put the wheels back on. we drove it around the neighborhood a few times to check for any noise like a knock. then drove it hm, again mostly highway, and i checked again to make sure they were tight and did not unscrew or bend. took it to the alignment shop and was told i was still at the exact same specs. so he adjusted it for me and thats it. so far i can feel the difference. someone mentioned how the cars sag feels once when i first dropped it and know i understand what he means. i feel like the kit straightened up and removed the sag. but its only been 2 days. damn that was long...

 

looking good

 

very nice. i like it alot. what was your total cost including install? love reading this stuff, it teaches me so much, and gives me lots of idea's. i totally agree with you man. love this site

 

i paid 195 for the full kit and i did the work. took about 2 hrs.

 

TY for the mini write up JGarcia19, real helpful hope these stand the test of daily driving

 

another tsx that works where i do. they originally had a different set of 17's that i did not like and i noticed they blacked out their stocks and added a red trim...not sure how i feel about it.

 

^Disgusting....

 

 

ew. acura =/= civic. YUCK

 

BURN IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! aaaahhhhh kill it now!

 

Those drl look good what kind are they and did you get a code on the car when you installed them

 

ijdytoy.com

the lights come w/ a decoder and so far no error codes.

 

you need wheel adapters and it will look nicer if you plan to stick with stocks

 

reminds me of that one russian batmobile that i posted awhile ago

 

who needs wheel adapters?

 

i think he might've meant spacers ;]
