right, I'm not happy with the front.
will play some more tomorrow.
went with 12kg front and 10kg rear.
Because Acura doesnt specify their spring rates, I can only guess. i believe the rear aspec springs to be about 450 lbs/sq. in.
I should have done the math before i pulled the trigger
but with my 10kg rear, it works out to be 560 lbs/ sq. in.
I would love for the rear to be a little stiffer now that I know the maff, but so far I'm happy!

I curved one front wheel some months ago and the other this morning... 
All my wheels are 19x9.5 and I've been wanting to go staggered, so now I'm debating...
a. Buy 2 new 19x8.5 wheels for $320/ea. or...
b. Keep the 9.5's and get them repaired for $75-$175/ea.
What do y'all think? The damage on the wheels isn't too bad and although I have a whole new steering system, the 8.5's would be easier on the rack.

Are the lips polished or chromed? I curbed mine a few weeks ago I fixed it with a steel and sand paper. You can't even tell it has been curbed unless you're close up looking for it

They're chrome, so I'm just gonna let them do the repair. I'm still gonna get the 8.5's though, just not now.

I guess i'll have to keep my eyes peeled for meets, I won't make either of the big meet ups this summer. From the quick browsing I did it seems pretty random for meets and such. I am going to need to check this forum more often, it seems pretty entertaining.

Anyone need an Axis Shine wheel (1)? ( 19"x8.5" 5x114.3) Good condition with one section that has slight curb rash. Has 5k miles on it for $100. Also have 3 Axis Hiro Anthracites in average condition (typical rash, some enamel chipped) for the same size I'll sell for $75 each. Lastly, I have 4 245/35/19 Bridgestone Potenzas with what I think is 50% tread left. (haven't measured) I think I paid $800 for the set. I'll let them go for $50/tire.
Good prices I think! I am moving and can't take these extra wheels with me.
Please PM me if you want pictures or anything. I don't want to clutter the thread. I am in NW Houston btw. Thanks.
