Yeah, the window visor dig wasn't intended for you! lol...believe it or not, I've considered it too.
Anyway...that is a nice low drop. Tein SS...on lowest setting I'm assuming? I'm at 1/2" from lowest setting and have often considered going all the way!

I never said it was a performance vehicle. Being slammed negates all the aspects that the Honda/Acura engineers designed the car for.
I can tell you that my car is pretty fun in the twisties. if I was slammed, I couldnt have as much fun in the curves as I am now.
my car puts down the same wheel horse power as the automatic type-s btw.

As for slamming a car ruining the performance of a car in general, I beg to differ. Sure, just dropping a car as low as you can without taking into mind suspension travel and geometry, youre not benefitting your car any, but theres a reason race cars of all types are LOW. cars that go 200-300 mph in the salt flats? low. f1 cars that zoom through corners and blazing fast speeds? low.
We all buy cars for different reasons. Some just daily drive, some wanna go straight...fast!, some want to auto-x. Point is just because it doesnt fit YOUR style of driving does not mean its the wrong way to build the car. I drive slammed, and guess what...the only corners i take have benefitted from me being slammed as I have no body roll.
I know this is a long rant due to me over reacting to your initial comment, but its more to ppl in general who always have something to say about how others mod their cars.
even with my setup i still feel that i can corner better than stock yet i ride just as smooth as stock.

Because you have to save the original link, I think. Otherwise it'll be a snapshot of one of the images that forms the movement.
PS...must be because you have factory wheels and bubblier tires. Either that or I've just gotten used to how my car sits cause I'm 1/2" lower than they recommend all around and it doesn't seem that slammed to me.

What I've noticed about Acurazine is that its like highschool, its a popularity contest, the cool guys get all the compliments even though they do RIDICOULOUS things like the lego wing, no offense, I love erics car and all but Im just stating the truth. When new guys come and just try to show off their car they just get bashed away.
Finallly someone says sumthin thats makes sense in this thread!..wow!

Actually, you did say it negates the PERFORMANCE of the tl, but tell me, what did Honda/Acura engineers design the car for? If you ask me, they designed the car so consumers can get from point A to point B in style. If the OP thinks driving slammed looks cool, then he is doing exactly what Honda/Acura intended. Its a entry level luxury sedan.
As for slamming a car ruining the performance of a car in general, I beg to differ. Sure, just dropping a car as low as you can without taking into mind suspension travel and geometry, youre not benefitting your car any, but theres a reason race cars of all types are LOW. cars that go 200-300 mph in the salt flats? low. f1 cars that zoom through corners and blazing fast speeds? low.

Now back on topic.
I'm loving the drop, and I like low cars better than cars that are rather higher up. Just my opinion. Lower cars look better.
Also, someone was talking about VIP and TLs can't do it. Not true, there are two forms of VIP. There is the real VIP, and VIP influence.
VIP: Full-Size sedan, RWD, V8.
VIP Influence: Any car.
People that does VIP TL are just being VIP Influence, and sometimes VIP Influence cars look better than the real VIP format cars. Have you seen VIP Influence xA? xB? TSX? Sienna? Previa? They look fucking sick. Way better than almost all regular VIP format cars, if done right.
