Why 45mm versus 42 or 40? Just curious.

im using them until i receive yours, and then i am modifying the ones you send me.
the 40mm were great when i was lowered on teins. i went back to stock suspension, and the 40mm looked a little too aggressive with the stock height for me. the 45mm looks great with stock suspension.

ufmike...I am not usually a non-OEM wheels but these look really good and make the TL look very aggressive. Nice job!

installed the sport pedals from the acura TSX SE. didnt know if they would fit, so it was an expensive gamble, but they fit perfectly. i tried a set from ebay as well as from heel toe, but neither of those i felt had the oem look of these. dead pedal was about $30, brake pedal was about $30, gas pedal was about $200 (you have to buy the whole accelerator assembly).

i preferred the look of the stock suspension, and the teins had a very slight noise to them. some say it was an install issue, others say that coilovers are inherently noisy. i have a buyer who wants me to hold them for a couple days, if he does not buy in the next couple days, i will list them in the Black market.

Wow these Ace wheels are on point. I was trying to avoid any aftermarket wheels but it looks like these would be it. I also don't want to lower my car so this looks good.

I will be painting the brakes calipers black, and putting in a subwoofer. thats about it. not really much left to do to the car as it comes pretty bad-ass from the factory.

i test drove both the A7 and S7. i didnt think the S7 was worth $15k more. the black optic package i got on mine looks identical to the black optic S7 except for: no quad exhaust, different brake calipers (though the A7 still has very large calipers, just not painted like the S7's), different badging. And the supercharged V6 is quite capable. so no major upgrades planned. but im sure ill find a few things to mess with.
