Finally feeling optimistic enough

The summers are going on tomorrow morning. Will be the first time with the summers since I got the car; you all may want to avoid the south side tomorrow...it might get stupid.

How much you looking for them? $100 or something? I need new lugs / locks for my wheels I just got...



17x7 OZ Ultraleggera's

Now I just need to drop it and slap some meatier tires on 'em (225/45 vs 215/40 right now). Also want a OEM spoiler, '97 front grille and a new exhaust yet...

I'm guessing you saw the car on the right side of this pic. He's not active on the forums though.

lovered on coils and finger gap shouldn't be used in the same sentence, unless you're saying, Look I am on coils and DON'T have any finger gap haha

one finger gap or no gap is the way to go. I had 1 finger all around but wished I was lower

^ I had Greddy on at one point, They are huge, and they do drag superrr close to the ground!, As low as my car sits now I couldn't even run that! my stock exhaust nearly drags

About those coils, Just remember the song by Ludacris...How low can YOU go? I Didn't realize how low I was until I saw Ricky's, Arthur's, especially Aaron's all together

@ jnguyen - If you drive the TSX in winter, don't get the SS or Flex since they will rust..get the newer versions that have ZT coating for rust protection.
http://www.heeltoeauto.com/tein-susp...sb48-21ss.html

I got the Tein Basis, the newer version of the basic that have ZT coating

@ Myron - haha my bad..I'm still a noob lol..Probably won't be going slammed like you guys, not hardcore enough for that haha. I think 1 finger gap would be good enough for me

how you liking the upgraded suspension? i know with tighter suspensions you tend to feel the road bumps more. at low speeds is it still a comfortable ride?

Did you end up getting an alignment yet? How about installing that resistor and switchbacks?

dude your switchbacks takes like 10-15 min to install haha And that's too much time I think. But there are a few TL-S owners here that might use them if you decide to sell

i love acura's interiors. it doesn't feel like they cheaped out or anything. with like bmw's or audi's (older, around 2005) it feels like they put the bare minimum into the interiors. i dunno...just a thought...haha any suggestions?
