Lowered TLX on 19" Niche Wheels
So we were finally able to lower a TLX this weekend. We added 19" Niche wheels in silver. It also has the OEM lip kit and rear spoiler.

H&R sport springs. They will be getting a AWD car for testing in a couple of weeks. They are bogged down in their R&D Dept.

Very nice.

Years ago when I spent two summers in Seattle (2004/2005), we used to go to Acura of Lynwood all the time. Parts manager or parts guy name was Mike I believe (asian dood). We had some friends up in Everett and he would hook us up on OEM stuff.

Can't believe its been 10 years.

Nice job on the TLX. What is the MSRP of that thing, afte ryou guys put the parts on?

Are the AWD Springs different? What are the specs on the springs, how low? Is that a 4 cylinder or v6?

The AWD drive spring should be different. I am only saying that since they have been in years past with the TL. The springs lowered the car around 1 1/4 inches. It is a V6 Tech

Did you use a camber kit at all in it? I know SPC is making rear upper arms, but i didn't think they were out yet. The camber, at least from what i could tell in the photos, looks great.

We did not use a camber kit. After we lowered it the rear was barely out of spec, so we left it at that.

Its the same with the RSR springs, front's within spec, and the rear being barely off. I will still buy the rear camber kit though when SPC releases it to make the rear camber within specs though

Warranty
Does lowering the vehicle affect the warranty?
