I think the Eibach Pro-kit is about 1"~ drop all around.

The dubs do look a bit...HUGE. looks good though. Any rubbing? How's the ride quality/handling?

With the 20's, I liked it better before the drop. Still, the drop is uniform, so for that. Also, the wheels look good (love the lip)...are they 8.5's or 9.0's? What size tire?

The ride is cool... no problems... as long as you get the shocks done also... I had a bit of rubbing when I was going over rough road ( NJ roads Suck ) But all is good, handling has improved over all...

I like the look, before and after drop(Maybe its a Cali thing)! The 20' wheels fit perfect on the TL's to me. How do you like those Nitto shoes regarding road noise and grip?

Car looks sick...... Question about the rubbing, is it the front, back or both. I had rubbing with my drivers side rear when i put on my 20's, but has sense been taking care of....

I Love It. Put some glaze on the tires and repost.

I just bought the TSW Catalunya for mine. Why did you not put in our Acura center caps. Looks great.

People here see 20's and get freaked out... Not all 20s look big. This one came out VERY nice looking. And the key here was the .5 -1 inch lip which hides it and makes it looks like 19s but with a nice lip.

Very sharp looking....

Acura center caps from stock wheels

I just pushed out the new ones and popped in the old acura ones. Fit perfect. Not sure if it would work on yours.
