Very nice and congrats! Please do NOT put the Type S wheels on that car and take off the A-Spec wheels. The wheels you have on there are the best OEM ones for the Acura...unless you want to sell the A-Spec wheels to me.

nice. i prefer those wheels over the type S but that's just me i don't think you'll have any trouble unloading those if you wanted the type S wheels though.

The "Edit" button is only available for five minutes after it's posted. After that, no more editing; you'll forever have to live with the fact that you wanted to put those giant EGGO waffle Type-S wheels on there!

If you can afford it, coilovers are the way to go. I have Tein Basics on mine and I love it.

For springs Tein and H&R seem to be to preferred choice

Id prefer the type s rims over any stock TL rim....plus theres a working factor with the honeycomb design.....its keeps the brembos cooler...and if u dont have brembos then itll keep ur regular pads n rotors cooler and probably prevent warping from occurring sooner. and from my experience the type rims are a hell of a lot stronger than the oem 5 spoke rims. I have a collection of bent n cracked 5 spoke rims.

Nice car. Get the A-spec kit and you're good to go.

I like the A-Spec wheels WAY more than the Type-S ones. But it's your car and you can do whatever you like to it.
