TSX Wagon Dropped

I was at the local acura dealership and I saw this wagon tsx. I literally fell in love lol. So this is just to show that the wagon can look really good with the right stuff. Does anybody know what rims those are?

The car has over 400 miles so I wonder what the story is.

It is dropped, look at the wheel gap, or lack thereof.

Looks really good with the kit too. That's one way to market I guess.

@ceb - you live in sac?

this car looks pretty low, so im sure its dropped. but yes, this took my breath away. Wagons are officially sick. Another member on here also has a wagon with some a-spec rdx rims, and it looks really good also..

I dont think these rims would look good on a sedan right?

Can one of you guys find out what sort of drop that is? Springs or coils? Thanks.

Nope, but I know how to use googol

Click the link in my first post. According to the dealer it is Eibach springs.

I hope whoever buys it doesn't have problems with it as:
  • There are no official ways of lowering a wagon
  • The tint is well beyond California legal limits
  • This ain't sanctioned by Acura.
A breakdown away from Niello will cause the new owner (who thinks it all under warranty) a lot of grief. Ultimately, Niello will be on the hook but it won't be pretty for the new owner until it gets sorted
All that said, I must say it looks pretty good. I'm not a big fan of those wheels and I think that the 18 inchers from a V6 would be better but the drop is pretty near perfect - not low enough to cause issues, yet it visibly reduces the wheel gap.

yeah i was there again. The parts manager said its a "demo" car that the sales manager drives. He also said it is just springs, not coilovers. It also has a chamber kit. The wheels and tires cost them $2500.

Also, the dude said that there was not a big enough difference in weight with the sedan and wagon to have problems with the springs and stuff..I took more pictures of it that ill post later..This has to be one of the cleanest wagons ive seen..

The problem is not that there is a huge difference in weight between the two cars, but that there are no springs currently specifically designed for the wagon. Accordingly, any issues wn't be covered by Eibach and Acura will not cover any suspension, steering or driveline issues.

Thanks. $2500 for a TSW set up? No offense to anyone with TSWs, but those better be some damn nice tires, lol.

I'm honestly surprised at how balanced the drop is with only springs, and springs with such an even drop. I always thought the butt would sag big time but I guess they were right, the rear isn't as heavy as it would appear.

supafly, please stop posting pictures of that wagon. You're making me want to go blow some stupid money on the OEM kit and some coilovers now...
