That's a Photoshop pic, right? If it's not, then your rear brake discs are well out of shape!!

OZ wheels are nicely finished and very strong, too. What size tyres are going to use?

I'll put Hankook Ventus S1 evo K107 in 225x40x19...
it's the best size for the european Honda Accord Tourer IDTEC
because the original size is 215x60x16

Very nice, should look good.

My best friend has those same wheels in 18" on his Spec B Legacy and they look great on his car. His car is a very similar color too.

Ahh, OZ, Steve French would be proud of you. (Inside/industry joke/reference)

It's so cool to scroll right to find the nose of my car on the ass of a wagon.

It's colourful ... why did you choose variant 1 rather than variant 2?

Just looked at their website and answered my own question - they don't make a variant 2 for the TSX/Accord!

Looks great, I think 1.2" drop is perfect for your Tourer.

Also great job at the Geneva Auto Show, love those pictures you posted.

feed back coilover KW

after a couple of day ....
the KW coilover (V1 inoxline) are just perfect....
I don't know how was your roads but in France,sometime,they 're look like a BAJA road
so the coilover are very progressive and very smooth....
but when you want attac....it give a very good sensation (rear train).
I loose just a little bit of confort but it's normal wheel's 19'+ 225/40/19 + drop-1.2 inch= hard....
so no regrets...very good sensation and amazing look !!!

Do you still have links to the photos of your wagon online? I'd like to see how it looks with a 1.2" drop. I'm trying to decide between KW and H&R for my wagon right now. The funny thing is, with questions about coilovers for wagons since they were sold in the US, the search button never seemed to find this thread.
