Congrats on the drop! I'm not sure how I feel about the wheels though.

I like the wheels. They remind me of the stock m3 wheels.

Wheels match the car well, I wanted to get Work Wheels but didnt feel like spending the money on them so I opted for similar looking wheels. Plus the price was so good on these, I could not pass up. I looked in BM for long time to get some wheels but most of them were rashed.

Wish I had another car to drive so I can do 10 projects at one time....lol. Seriously, that's alot you've done to your car for only having it for a few months.

Also did you take your mud guards off? It looks really clean dropped without them...

Its nice to have extra cars, plus I can always drive one from work. I work for a dealership so I can borrow a car from them. I have 2 projects at home besides TL and one at work. LOL

Car did not come with mud guards.

They are some off brand rims. I think CE makes them. They were really good price so I picked them up.

Nice love the wheels and stance. Possibly throw some spacers at the back? like 5 or 10s should do it.

I really dont like spacers, only reason I had to throw spacers in the front cause it wont clear Brembos. Plus it will rub.

how is the ride compared to stock? steering wheel wise. i know with the rsx if you drop it past a certain point the ride starts to be really shitty and sometimes uncontrollable. i have yet to lower my TL but i plan on it one day just wondering what to expect

ride is ok, I want bring it up a little so it does not rub. I always had civics lowered. They rode ok. TL drives fine, its too low for my taste.
