All that items on the volcano grey TSX! It looks amazing!
If you can find the black center caps for the rims, it will be perfect!
thanks! and SSR doesn't make center caps for my rims in black, so i had the hubs painted black instead.

We have PMM here for Model Year 2009, but Acura dropped it for Canada in 2010. Luckily, you folks in US can still order PMM for MY2010.
That's correct, I do have PMM. It sucks that Canada dropped PMM though, Buran silver should have been dropped instead; it's my least favor color lol.

Thanks! now I know that TSX has PMM color too!
In Australia, Honda Accord V6 version (not Euro/TSX) has PMM color.
Your 'PMM TSX' is so nice!!!

Glad my review helped out. I have SSR type F, no TPMS installed. so my TPMS light stays on all the time.

not really, coilovers still doing good.
They, however, squeak now. I asked a shop about the squeaking, they said its because I'm too low and the bushings and what not can't handle the pressure lol.

Anymore squeaking issues? I've read on the Lexus forums that they squeak as well and that's with a mild drop.

+1

are you still having squeaking issues now?

im kinda considering megans over tein basic since its cheaper and its adjustable shocks.

megans $640
tein basic (non adjustable shocks) $730

It still squeaks, I was told by a mechanic that the rubber bushings are squeaking because it can't handle the pressure being brought on by how low I'm, and that the coilovers aren't the ones squeaking.

so what happens when a single shock/dampner blows out?

i take it you have to buy another $600 set or can it be rebuilt or can you just buy a single replacement?

i heard that megans are more of "disposable" coilover that is difficult to rebuild.

If it's within 1 year, I'm sure they'll replace it for you.
It it's been more than 1 year, instead of rebuilding them, just buy another set.
Rebuild a set of coilover is like $400 bucks, not worth the money to rebuild.

Well, my Megans are 15 way adjustable. They told me 1 is the hardest and 15 is the softest.

Nope, I doubled checked, 15 way adjustable.

It doesn't make a difference to me, it was free, it does what I want, oh did I mention it was free? lol

yeah, I have the EZ Street, cheap coils that goes pretty damn low. It's been 8 months and 30,000 miles since I got it. Don't have any problems with them other than suspension bushings squeaking cuz I'm too low lol.

Hey mike have you thought about "Polyurethane Bushings" it's a much denser material might get rid of your squeaking issues and tighten up suspension a bit.
