What would it take to get the rears into "spec"?

A rear camber kit. SPC should have one out soon

I am just looking at your alignment result. On top, it read for 09-14 TL SH-AWD, not 2015 TLX SH-AWD. You have to make sure the dealer has the latest software not using the previous model/generation.

The format of the alignment print out is the same in our shop. It appears to be a Hunter alignment machine. I attached a photo here. It obviously not your print out but you can see on the left hand corner of the screen. It read "TLX All Wheel Drive 2015".

Just a heads up....

I will ask them about that, thanks for checking that

I just checked my printout and it is similar. I have the 2wd version so it just says Acura TL 2009-2014 Front wheel drive.

I had to take mine to a Honda dealership, as my local Acura dealer won't align a lowered vehicle. I took it to a place i had done work with in the past i liked when i owned an Accord.

Car looks great Stew - the drop is perfect and the wheels fit the car perfectly too. This may be the best looking TLX on the road today!

Stew4HD

Thank you! I really like the way the car turned out.

Stew4HD, your car looks like a rice car. It's all riced out! Hope you win your races against Honda Civics with cold air intakes!

Here's a definition of rice car in case you didn't know: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rice_burner "The pejorative is often intended to denigrate cars which have been modified cosmetically to give a false impression of high performance, but are not actually capable of it."

Stew4HD

Thanks. It's nice that you care enough to share

Good looking .


Stock shocks or upgraded ?

Are you the only whitey left in sugar land ? All my brownie engineers have taken it over I thought

Stew4HD

Thanks, not bad for being all riced out, is it? I'm still running stock shocks. I wanted to see how it rode on th estocks.. not to mention (though I am now) there isn't a lot of add-ons for the car yet.

I am the last of the whiteys

Since you are not that low hopefully the stock shocks will last a while

Not bad for a riced out Whitey

Looks good. I like the offset in the front and the tires are perfectly sized for the wheels. Good job. How is the ride with the rsr springs, is it stiffer than stock, do you feel small road bumps harshly?

Stew4HD

Thanks! The small bumps are non issue. I can feel that it's stiffer on small dips. I am guess that is due to less shock travel.

It's not too harsh at all.

I missed the original post as I've been sooo busy over in the RLX section, LOL. Nice job, Stew! Glad the (tasteful) mods haven't ruined the ride too much. Still thinking of buying some wheels for my RLX hybrid....will probably do a nice Vossen five-spoke....we'll see...thanks for fanning the flame of modding.

Car looks great, and the drop looks perfect.

How's the ride in regards to how it acts after you hit bumps or dips. Any bounciness from the stock shocks with the stiffer springs?

Stew4HD

Thanks! I like the way it turned out too. It's just the right amount of drop to be symmetrical. Glad to help with the "we are not car guys" topic

Thank you for the compliment.

The doesn't bounce at all after a bump/dip.

stew, I see a RLX paws on my daily commute. is that you!?


Dees, I live in sugar land

Stew4HD

Where are you see it at? I'm running through on 59 around 4pm. I have a personalized plate that helps set mine apart plus spoiler and splash guards

Stew4HD

I ran into the new owner of my old TLX today at HomeDepot. Damn that car looks so good, still!

Quandry

Was the 2-3 any better in their hands, due to driving style or updates?

Stew4HD

He said that he hadn't noticed the 2-3 at all... the hesitation in down-shifting.. yes

DeesTLX

we should meet up sometime! im in the black tlx with front lip/fog light. Also on vossen wheels if you ever seen it around
