TSXAKEO Progress Threat

So I've been the proud owner of a 2012 TSX Base Bellanova/Black for about 2 yrs & I know you all know but gotta say.... it has been a very gratifying!!!


So I’ll be posting some pics of the past 2 yrs, and go on to the progress! First pics aren't the best quality to say the least, but sentimental value - PRICELESS

Remember when u first got your baby??

Hope u’ll enjoy it

so after a few other cosmetics, like tints, roof lip, and exLEDs I started research on the suspension...

Coils sounded the most, but I'm also considering 20" and wanted to keep it as stock like feel as posible. Also the thought of any fender work....

So I went with the set up Proposed by stan_t which is Koni Yellow Sport with Eibach springs....

This one came bleeding...

Small update, been super busy.. but I promise to post some more. wanna ride it a bit more, but so far I am truly happy with the results....

drop is about 1.6" all around (1" from the springs and 15mm from the shocks). I was a bit concern but the ride feel no different from the stock. The only difference is getting in and out the car, but that's all. Wish I had some roads to really test it, but my daily drive is pretty straight forward... Flat!

Yes Sir, they must.... It took a while to find the right set. I wanted a clean look, some different, but not over the top. Also deciding between 19" & 20", with etc....I'm glad to report that that's done and they've been ordered & coming on very very soon!

Believe u me, I do too at times...But down here in SO FL we can get away with it... and I love the looks, but the fronts sometimes scare me a bit, def don't wanna mess-up the wheels.

And u r right, the specs let me to these size, specially cuz I wanted to keep the speed readings as close to stock as possible.

I purposely got some not too expensive to kinda try'em out and see...

Thanks bro, Lips have always been at the top of my list. I just wanted like a very clean look. So many wheels to choose from its crazy!

About the shows, I have a few I'm attending too. The car though, not ready yet fo sho.
