New Stance + New Shoes = New Setup

Few shots taken by my homie Mike:













-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Few shots I took today out of boredom. Good and bad comments are all welcomed.







--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So I decided to go for a new setup for the tsx and hopefully pull this off.

To be installed:

Function Form Coils
BBS RS Wheels
Skunk 2 Front Camber Kit
Nitto NeoGen Tires

Will update with pics as I go along since it won't be another 2 weeks until all parts are installed. Work takes up too much of my time

So in the meantime......

17" BBS RS:



Function Form v1:





Skunk2 Front Camber Kit (notice the typo on the box "supension" lol):



Stay tuned for more

those wheels will look WAYYYY too small on a tsx IMHO. look at the huge wheel well on the tsx. because of the size of the lip, the wheels will 'look' smaller than they really are (looks like 16s instead of 17s). even so, running 17s on a tsx is too small in general, since you have to run a 50 profile tire in order for the speedometer to read correctly..i'd rather run stock wheels in situations like these, but hey just my 2 cents.

also, since the tsx gives off a 'newer' look to it, wouldn't it make sense to go with wheels that compliment that style? to me, basketweave kind of mesh is old school so it wouldn't really blend in with the bodylines of a tsx.

just a little constructive criticism so please don't take my post personally :P

The lips has been re polished, just hard to capture with my cheap digicam. But it is going to be slammed.

Fitment shouldnt be much of a problem... but you just gotta slam the hell out of that thing to pull it off maybe, cause they might look small

Those wheels will look fine, provided you slam it. A stepped-lip mesh 17" will look too small on a TSX with anything other than a tuck-level drop, though.

Should look pretty good with a decent drop. I would have the wheels refinished in a bright silver. If you go w/dark centers they may look too small.
