Moar picz before you raise her!

opboarding

I think it looks ridiculous. In a bad way...

But I also have a fairly conservative view on how cars should look.

smashn.kev

damn you beat me to it.!

looks dope would love to see the car from more views at the current height.
whats you drop rate.?
can you go alot lower if you wanted to.?

AcuraRolling

thanks, at the height last posted it rubbed something terrible so time was spent making adjustments to have it as low as possible while being able to drive the car.

sorry I raised her and couldn't really get any good shots from where it was parked.

that is understandable, our views on this particular style differ.

no more views at current height but it is still very low. Acura measures ground clearance from the jack point (if im not mistaken) which is measured at 5.9 inches stock height. front dropped 3.15 inches and rear 3.0 inches. I would have to pull the rear fenders a bit to clear the height of my last pictures but it is not feasible with the hills, inclines and declines found throughout Socal.

my front is pretty similar to yours atm, except im tucking a lil bit, the rears are nice, i would go lower but i cant exit my driveway if i do lol.

amazing

Looking real good, raise the rear a bit so you dont rub bad and itll even out with the front.

Makes me wanna get a tsx again

xtcnrice

Never thought I'd hear you say to raise the car!

I'd rather him raise the rear and be even with the front so he can drive rather than lowering the front some more and not being able to drive at all

iCrap

I agree it looks terribad.
How does the car even handle when you do this?

it's not worth it...raise up a little...
trust me.

iSeeYouTwo

Looks so awesome at that height though. Lol


Now all you need is a lip/sideskirts/sport bumper. And to tint those front windows.

AcuraRolling

When someone approaches me and tells me it looks terribad I will promptly let you know. But in the meantime I will answer your question. It handles rather well. The car doesn't dart across the road, the suspension is responsive. You won't catch me banging paddles shifters getting on the freeway and driving excessively fast. I four cylinder cruise and this is not a daily driver, never was intended for that purpose.

AcuraRolling

Has crossed my mind, but I react to my instincts and I don't really want to change the height now. But I'm sure from experience you are kicking some good knowledge.

Thanks. All those are coming in due time as I am trying to source those parts at fairly reasonable prices; well except the tint.

is terribad a combination of awesome and cool?

nawww...I just feel defeated after over rolling my S2000 and discovering previous owner bondo. I'm more mad at myself than anything.

Were you trying to "hellaflush/stance" the s2k?

smashn.kev

nice looks. yeah im maxed out on my tein basic and have issues with inclines/declines in some areas and im not even low

what drop rate would you say the megan coils max out at.?

AcuraRolling

Thanks. I had serious issues with incline, and declines so i took tOny3 advice and raised the rears 1/2 an inch which also stopped the damage to my very outter lip from rubbing the inside fender. Still have issues as expected, but not nearly as bad.

drop rate i think 4" is max. stock ride height (measured from the jack points = 5.9 inches so ex streets will put you roughly 2 inches off the ground. I am currently at 3.4 inches in the front and 3.5 inches in the rear.

iCrap

Nobody is going to approach you and say that, even if they are thinking it. Everytime I go out to a meet or show and there is a car like this, we're all laughing behind the owners back - It's just ridiculous looking.

Internet anonymity yo

AcuraRolling

that's not true, people actually do make those comments. You are just letting everyone know you and your friends/associates are .....'. well you get my point. Not only on the net but in real life. When I decide to paint my wheels or install a sway bar on a four cylinder that lives on the streets I look forward to your kind words. Until then seek guidance to resolve your lack of understanding.

Misterg12

@ acurarolling, If your happy with I'm happy with it! On a serious note as I'm new to this lowering business, how long will a set of tires really last with that much negative camber? I was worried to death about my piddly neg 3 degrees when I dropped my car lol

iCrap

A sway bar is actual functional and adds to the car, rather than ruining your car so you can't even get up your fucking driveway and wear through tires every 10 minutes.

My "friends and associates" are not Mexicans, that's why.

AcuraRolling

Yep I'm actually a black guy, and would prefer you keep your to yourself with your fucking vinyl wrapped track ready k24z3, and your flash pro superstar.

I have Mexican friends and im sure they wont mind getting you a helmet when you attempt a 1/8 mile pass at your local track event.

iCrap

I feel you're missing the point entirely.

AcuraRolling

that i couldn't tell you, I have never had a car with this much negative camber. I don't see me changing my tires within a year as i barely do 40 miles a week if at all.

I can truthfully careless about "the point". Do you and I will do me. You are a nuisance

To each his own.......




Q: why not get airbags or struts then you can go up and down at will.

You have all your work done by someone else so all this adjusting muzt be 'spensive/

iCrap

Might as well go full retard

To each his own, stop fighting lol. Everyone has their opinions and thats that, some people go for looks and some go for performance.

I stanced my tsx and loved it, wanted more power so i moved on to a s2k, going full functional setup so theres no saying one person is right.

AcuraRolling, i think the car looks great, as a weekend car its a perfect head turner, even if some people dont like it. Theyre still paying attention to your car at the end of the day

ICrap, when i stanced my tsx i had no problem getting around other than avoiding dips and steep inclines , i could go fast or slow it didnt matter.

AcuraRolling

Just had the parts installed by someone, all the tweaking i do myself. It wasnt to expensive but at the end of the day I would rather someone with experience handle certain things on this particular car.

that will be my next move. Your ideas are board line brilliant.

Thanks tOny3, you have contributed some great advice and suggestions
Much appreciated.

haven't been on the forum for at least half a year...gotta comment on this. +1 for grigio color, holy fitment! and how has no one mentioned the r34??? seeing that you are in socal, you probably had your fenders rolled at 9k racing and that's their r34?

iCrap

I think we scared him away.

AcuraRolling

yea rears were done at 9k. great group of guys.

negative, nothing new.
planning a one off rear bumper w/ diffuser, custom fogs and q45 retrofit for DRL

iCrap

That i'm actually interested in seeing.
