SSM TL w/ Gunmetal 8.5" A-Specs..its been a while
Hey guys, how's it going? Its been a few years since I've posted a thread! So busy with school, life, etc., but I've still been lurking around here.
Have a free afternoon, thought I'd post just a few pics of my car. Recently purchased a set of 8.5" A-Spec wheels from member Gen7Milan. I have dozens of other pics I could upload but my wifi connection is slower than crap. Not much else has changed. Still just clean mods to the car. Added slotted rotors and ceramic brake pads last fall. Had the 105K service done about a year and half ago along with a valve adjustment. Then its just been other regular maintenance- car is still running stronger than ever with 122K miles on the clock. Hard to believe I've had it for almost four years now. I've looked into other cars (came really close to a 2013 Accord a few months ago), but nothing can get me out of this thing. I love it. And will probably drive it until I have to get rid of it.
Anyway, just wanted to check in with you all here! Cheers.![Cheers](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/cheers.gif)

Yeah yeah yeah, stock suspension. Part of the reason I went for A-Specs instead of non-OEM wheels was so I could get away with not dropping it. ![Tomato](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/tomato.gif)
Plus, going to school and living in Michigan now, I can use all the ground clearance. Common occurrence:

Car looks great though
