AniMaLisTiK

Nice!!!
I'm noticing there's a couple of you here that have nothing better to do with your lives than start sh*t over the internet. Everyone else is mad chill and informative. Go kick rocks with your boy, leave us grown ups alone.

The rear 255/35's will be here on Wednesday, and be mounted the next morning. Also, ordered my H&R springs and those will go on either Friday or Saturday pending delivery date. No one is more anxious than I am, trust me guys.

AniMaLisTiK

Lol, as promised 255/35Z/19 are here. But mounted pics will not be up until friday. Sorry, but I have to be at the shooting range for work all day So my mount appointment is @ 10:00 a.m on Friday.

icu2tsx

great choice on the rims, If you don't mind, what are the specs on them?

AniMaLisTiK

Thanks, bud! They are Stance SC-5 19x8.5,9.5(+45)(+48) wrapped in Nankang NS-II's 245/35/19(F) 255/35/19.

Just got them mounted today, and I've already taken some pics but I'm on duty all weekend and these goverment computers won't let me log in to acurazine ;(
Anyway, I'm dropping it off tomorrow again to he my rear fenders rolled and my H&R springs installed. Pics of it ALL on Monday. I promise!!!

tobwac

cant wait for the pics

mR742

What he said

chaqui74

Its Saturday already and no pix still....!!!!! GRRRRRRRR!!!!! LOL

A tease will do for now...

AniMaLisTiK

So sorry, guys. Cant post til' Monday. But just so you know... The H&R kit went on today with no problems. I will need to adjust the toe and get a camber kit or camber arms. Also, this is all I will say I bought these wheels in February and they're just now going on... Sucks, but.... IT WAS WAY WELL WORTH the wait

AniMaLisTiK

Uploading, now......

And here's the sequence!!!

Going on, the center caps fit the front but were 5/8's of an inch larger on the rear so instead of shaving them I went to a local shop "Auto Trim" and came out with these bad boys

From the STANCE to ACURA.

And here's OEM vs My new ones.

AND... Here is a pre drop teazer while I'm waiting for my digital camera pics to import...

Front Pre-Drop
Rear Pre-Drop
Pre-Drop again

tobwac

in for more pics haha after drop
so with those spec you got the rims are sucked in a little im assuming?

AniMaLisTiK

POST- Drop






REAR IS IN NEED OF A TOE ADJUSTMENT AND CAMBER KIT ONCE I GET THE ALIGNMENT BUT ALL IN ALL I MIGHT NOT NEED TO ROLL THE REAR FENDERS BUT WILL JUST IN CASE.

THE FRONT ON THE OTHER HAND IS GOOD


AND TO FINISH IT OFF....


DAYUMM.

AniMaLisTiK

Don't know why this is sideways, but still a cool couple sec video.

tobwac

looking good
btw how heavy are they?

AniMaLisTiK

So glad you asked, because I didn't actually put them on a scale but myself and two other guys lifted the OEM rims and tires and my new STANCE wheels and we all agreed that they were 5-10 pounds lighter! I don't have a GPS yet but I'm gonna borrow one and do a MPH test but when I do I'm possitive that it's going to be for the better. The car just feels so much lighter.

mR742

VERY seK c

chaqui74

came out nice man.... I would roll the rears and add a small spacer.

ttk5

No way those 19's are 5-10lbs lighter than stock wheels. The most would probably be 5lbs. A stock CL7 tsx rim is like 23lbs so even if your rim was 18lbs, thats the weight of a forged monoblock 19" TE-37. If anything I imagine your wheels are the same weight as the stock 17's which is great considering your going up 2" in diameter. And if they were 10lbs lighter, that means you have the lightest 19" wheel ever made.

Anyways. Car looks much better after the drop. I had H&R's as well and I was completely content with them. I like the STANCE center caps better though.

ed_423

nice shot

airlaird

Outstanding".....so are these available in 18's??
Airlaird

AniMaLisTiK

Thanks ed_423 This one's my favorite also.

airlaird, I think they're only available in 19 and 20 but I could be wrong.

ttk5, I'm pretty sure I said 5-10 pounds lighter. I'll weigh them when I get a chance and I'll let you know.

swarlos

Looks great man! Definitely well worth the wait. the wheels go really well with the car and the caps are a classy touch. We should meet up and do a shoot. Maybe you can get me sponsored as well haha

So whats next for the car?

AniMaLisTiK

Thanks, Swarlos for letting me know about the wheels it worked out perfect. I'm down to meet whenever, I'm going to a car show in Sarasota tonight, It's supposed to be pretty good. As far as getting sponsored, definitely! He installed my springs for $150 and told me he'd continue to work on my car. All I had to do was put this decal on even though I'm not a fan of them at ALL.



Does match my paint though...


Next month, the new venture on the ride was going to be the C/T Icebox, but changed my mind after the wheels went on. Instead I'm doing a brake system upgrade. Slotted and drilled rotors, SS Lines, HAWK HPS pads and am also looking to change calipers or just powder coat the OEM ones.

ricanzfinest1

Looks good

AniMaLisTiK

Thanks!

AniMaLisTiK

Thanks, bro. I'm planning on doing both. I want to add rear spacers but need to roll first because once I push out and get my alignment I'll probably need it. As of now though I have no rubbing issues, even when going over speed humps and sh*t. I think my plan is to roll in the next couple days, then get my alignment and see where I sit, then add whatever I may need to get the rear back out. Any specific spacer retailer?!?

xakeo

That looks awesome!!! Glad you've gone w/ those cuz I do like 'em a lot. Very interested in know if you ended up rolling and how does that looks. Hate to do anything that will change the outside appearance! How about the ride vs stock? Details

Also, any camber done yet...specs....? I just wanna pick ur brains man

in for what your specs were after alignment too?

AniMaLisTiK

Sorry, guys. Been gone for a while now for work. Just getting back. I'm ordering the complete SPC kit this month. Just went to the alignment shop today and I've settled at a 2.9 camber in the rear. It drives AMAZING.. And am hesitant to get rid of it by straightening everything out, so I have a tough choice to make, also I have to roll the rear fenders before I do and will add a msall spacer to the rear as well.

AniMaLisTiK

The gentleman that does this does all the hight end cars were I live Maserati's, Lambo's hes even got a new 2013 NSX coming in in a few days. He says I'm sitting very pretty right now, and that my ride will never feel any better than it it does now with this setup. But I will definitely be eating up some tires!!!

ed_423

i would keep it. i had something like that before..after my alignment im at -1.1 and i sort of like it when i had -2 camber lol
