Thanks for all he compliments guys. I dropped the car about 2in. all around. The install took six hours. I have 19x8.5 wheels w/ 33 offset ad i don't rub. However I do need to get a rear camber kit. The fog lights are stock and yes it's 15% tint all around. If you plan on dropping ur car this low don't get any lip kits or body kits. I'm writing this on my phone so I'll see if I missed anything when I get home. More pics will be available later this week.

Can we edit our posts???

Anyway thanks for the comments guys, Jorge was really able to capture the car as it looks like in person.

SPECS FOR THE WHEELS:
19"x8.5" +33 OFFSET
VOLK PROGRESSIVE ME (FACE 2)

Tires: Kuhmo MX 235/35/19

As low as I dropped my car I have decided against a camber kit. I believe that if I did get a camber kit for the rear then it will definitley rub, however I have not noticed any inner tire wear due to camber. All I did was get an alignment from my buddy at Honda and I've been fine since.

Love the rims and love the drop. Looks a million times better than the last time i saw it at the meet at tropical park. I would have just prefered the wheels with a lip.

YAH, would need a neck brace for sure. Both pics look great. But from the front that drop made one mean lookin car. If they had a small polished lip I would highly consider them. Are they more $$$ then the GT series? Do they fit Brembo's. I guess they would look good on an ASM TL-S?

If you want something that looks like my rim, but has a lip get the RE-30. I believe they run around the same price as GT series, possibly cheaper.



I don't like lips on sedans though, but that's just me. These would look sexy on your car too.
