No Problem sir. I saw your post and happened to have a set that I will be selling so I replied. I got the Avid.1 AV-20 wheels. Will post better pics when I have the car washed. Just took these with my phone at the tire shop.

LOL its OK it's not the first time someone thought I was a dude hahaha... Nice wheels they go well with the car. I would suggest lowering your car a little bit but since we live in Houston don't.

I like Houston! I'm getting familiar with areas now and people out here are friendly well at least majority of them. Yeah 290 won again first it was my windshield and now my wheel. but everything else is nice. If I'm not mistaken I think we're in the same area now.

Yes driving on the 290 is bad!! I use to work out there so everyday was a battle I got my windshield fixed awhile ago, but will keep the other spot in mind. I agree a lot of parts in Houston are horrible to drive in.. I just don't know what the heck the city does with all the money they rake in everyday. I see construction all over the place ,but it still look's the same.

Our mayor is a joke. There is a small bridge by my house that has been under construction for about 3 years now.

If I was to get the apsec suspension, would it mess up my alignment I mean I don't want to have to go through tires because my camber is out. Don't really want to deal with camber kits to correct that. been through hell with those on my accord.

^^^You don't need the camber kit on A-Spec suspension. Any time you mess with the geometry of the suspension; it is best to get an alignment. What kills tires is toe IIRC. A-Spec will give you a slight drop with stiffer suspension (A-Spec are non adjustable FYI).

Afternoon guys, just got a question for anyone who can give me some input... Who has a 3rd Gen to type-s aspec kit? Question is do the aspec side skirts look that much different I'm about to order the front and rear and was debating if the stock side skirts would throw off the look.... Oh and I have an 07 tl-s

There is no such thing as an aspec type-s side skirts. The aspec skirts are both the same for base and type s. I advise you to get them as the flare out a bit more than the type s does.

If you have no issues then I wouldn't worry about replacing the suspension. It seems you don't mind the stock height anyway

Yeah I am OK with the stock height specially when I am driving around in the medical center with crappy roads. Thanks for your input. Much appreciated
