Hello All,
New to this site but have been lurking for months now since the purchase of my TSX. After research and gathering information from all over the web, I have decided to build a very aggressive TSX (wheel wise). Tire size is undetermined as of now, and I will post pics as progress is made.
specs:
19x10 +5
19x11 +12

Welcome! Can't wait to see how this turns out.

I was unaware of the 15 day grace period so no photos just yet.
Just an update: Camber kit front and rear on order should be in middle of next week (front ball joints out of stock).
Megan EZ street install this Saturday.

haha i was about to buy those, but in the negative offsets, but i decided not to. Ended up getting my ssrs instead which im very happy with.

AcuraRolling

im kind of glad you didn't, as I was trying to get a wheel i liked that i have not previously saw on a 2g TSX.

front and rear ball joints/ camber arm

You got any plans for your fenders? Cause youre gonna need some lol, would like to see how these look on the car.

SlickxAc

thats why i got the ssr's haha i rarely see anyone that has ms1's, especially since mine are step lipped.

AcuraRolling

I figure a roll and pull will def be required. But when I have status Autoworks install all my parts I will have a better idea from there. I am hoping to gain -3 or better of natural camber. so i should be close to -5 in the front if it works out and up to -6 in the rear.

SlickxAc

Unfortunately you wont get to -3 in the fronts. For some odd reason our cars dont like to camber in the front. even when I completely maxed out my fronts the most I ever had on natural camber was -2. You will probably need to buy arms for the front if you want more camber.

AcuraRolling

Good to know, please share any information you have on front camber arms, and I could only manage to find adjustable ball joints.

Im pretty sure you can get more then -3, i had spc camber joints *regular version not extended* in front and i was at -3/4/5 i forgot, gotta check my old spec sheets. I had -5 natural camber in rear so thats no problem

SlickxAc

im not too sure about the ball joints for the front because i dont have a camber kit, but the rears will easily reach -5 on natural camber.

On the regular ball joints like mines you can flip them to get even more megative camber, thats what i did. Not sure if you can do them on the ingalls but i dont see why not.

Ill take pics and whatnot if my sister comes home with the car lol

AcuraRolling

much appreciated, I will look into flipping the ingalls.

No updates yet, thought I would have the coils by now, but they were on back order everywhere I ordered from. I finally accepted that I had to wait til 4/17 so the order is placed now the waiting game.

Eh i had to wait close to 2 months since i ordered custom spring rates lol, patience is key.

Front Camber -3.6/-3.8
Rear Camber -5

Check your toe people! Most important thing to make sure is near factory specs so you dont kill tires.

Front fenders slightly rolled and rears shaved.

AcuraRolling

thanks for the photos and info tOny3.

lack of results due to megan ez streets being on back order or delayed by customs "heard it from every online retailer or local shop i call". any who the delay has finally ended as i found someone who actually has the coils in stock and wont email me with an excuse as stated above.

updates soon!

AcuraRolling

update: coils finally arrived

mounted the wheels in preparation for the trip tomorrow to get the suspension components installed and fender work.

Misterg12

What fender work can be down to compensate those wheels?

justnspace

iTrader: (1)

the basic kind.. roll first.
if still not fitting, pull.
if still not fitting, shave.

xtcnrice

still not fitting, lube

4x4 status, ahah thats how my car looked when test fitting the wheels on stock suspension, mexipoke like crazy

AcuraRolling

quick update, will post pics later today.

rear fenders rolled, the fitment turned out the way i planned.

front fenders! well that's another story. I need to find a shop in Socal who has the skills to roll my front fenders. anyone have any recommendations?

boki_cu2

looks gear , i wonder if those ball joints will hit metal once lowered.

AcuraRolling

car lowered slightly in the rear, you can also see the front has not been lowered. left at the height so no damage is caused as i continue my journey at finding someone to do the work needed to the front fenders (roll, and less then half an inch pull). When the suspension was installed the car was lowered enough for me to get an idea of the fitment, then raised.


how the rear sits now. will be lowered more to tuck some of that 245.


rears before the roll.

SlickxAc

you can hit up tony the fender rolling guy. he talks quite alot and is a bit weird but he does a really good job of rolling/pulling. just look him up on google.

tOny3

iTrader: (9)

Lower! I wanna see how it flows with the car already

AcuraRolling

hopefully tomorrow it will be lowered and all dialed in. pics will follow.

I decided to take it to an auto body /paint shop. The fronts were rolled, cut, and pulled aprox 13mm.

AcuraRolling

finally lowered all the way around.
another rear shot


side profile





front is just about 3 inches from the ground. I may lower the front a slight bit

iCrap

Maybe it's just me but I think it looks a bit weird when the wheels stick out past the body of the car..

AcuraRolling

its not by much, but we each do what we like.

.5in lower in the rear and 1.5-2in lower in the front and you'll be golden

AcuraRolling

Appreciate the input

SlickxAc

id agree with tony, needs a bit lower and prob a pull/more camber. i like having my tires tucked.

AcuraRolling

i lowered the car today and fell in love all over again. only problem.... not drivable. I am going to make more adjustments and get the extreme rubbing to stop (rear, front is fine at current height).

front
rears need to be raised. at this height I am sure i exceeded -7 degrees of camber.

iSeeYouTwo

Dude that looks perfect. But with those specs, be ready to run into problems. Lol
