Ohhh Shhh... I'm Raijin...

Hello fellow AZiners, finally picked up a set of Enkei Raijins from Tire Rack. I haven't seen anyone sport these on a TL around where a live. So here they are on a stock suspension. I'm planning on going with Tein SS here soon I'll post some pics up after the drop as well. Enjoy.

Lol, I can see that a little bit.

They kinda remind me of the XXR530 too. I think they will look much better when the car is lowered, but over all, not bad as is.

Yep, one of the main reasons I went with this style. I love the factory wheels but the 17" just wasn't enough this is what Acura should've shipped the car out with in the first place! Also, you may not see it from these pics but the wheels actually poke out farther out from the tire almost giving it a stretched tire look. Some may approve others disapprove to each his own.

Hmmm...is that the replacement to the Super Streets? And if so who carries them? I'm going to see if I can make my wheels sit flush and do a modest drop about 1.5 to 2 inch max. I'm trying to avoid buying control arms, cambers kits, rolling fenders etc. Although I have mad respect for those who go all out like that just to make sure their wheels sit flush to the mm.

On a side note what do you guys think. Purple, Chrome Tip or Teal?

tein sa is the revised version of the tein ss...yah if you want 1.5-2 inches lower then go with teins. I'm happy with mine but if i can go back il go with bc racing. just because they go much lower and they come with top hats.

Well, now I'm all thrown off. I was set on picking up some Teins SA's as I want to keep my ride comfort as stock as possible or slightly firmer. How are the damper settings on the BCs firmer softer than the TEINS? And the Top Hats are not that big of an issue if you figure Mr.HeelToe installs and ships the TEINS out for about the same price Top Hats included.

sorry to get you all confused..im happy with my tein sa!! don't get me wrong i have it for 6 months now. all I'm saying is they don't go as low as megans,bc and ff. if your just looking for 1-2 inch drop then teins is the way to go.

Any lower than 3" and you'll be looking for what he mentioned. (BC, Megan, Function & Form)

I have Tein SA's as well and love them

Thanks everyone for the kind words and the advice...I'm looking to drop my car here pretty soon and will post some more pics out for you all. This might just turn out into a progress thread and that's what I fear the most
