Got A Lil Lower

Headed down to San Diego yesterday to pick up a set of Tein Basic Coilovers from fellow TSX Club member Sergio who gave me a screaming deal and set me up with a very knowledgeable mechanic named Tom who installed them for me. Immediately requested the coils down max low, but did not remove the second perch because I'm already rubbing front fender and tucking rear fender.

Fist glace, the car doesn't look that low, but I accomplished what I set out to do: eliminate wheel gap entirely.

I realize my car isn't everyone's cup of tea, and that's ok.. because I'm not out to impress anyone with the car. I mod it the way I want and the way I think will look good, and I do not intend to follow a pre-determined "look" with the car.

Here's some crappy quality pics from my point and shoot...

Right after the drop

Fitment check front, tucking ever so slightly

Fitment check rear, tucked with camber

Soon to come is a 5mm wheel spacer for the rears, to push it right up against fender.
I'm also debating Euro R Lip kit... or maybe something a bit more noticeable......

Ive been told my drop looks more aggressive because I'm running 19s, instead of 18s
Also, my trunk has about 40 pounds of dynamat lining the whole trunk, and a rather large, ported sub box housing a type X 12". With the Dynamat, I'm sure I've got 70 extra pounds worth of crap in there. That probably weighs down the rear a bit, causing it to appear lower?

A have little mods coming up soon
Just ordered a set of 5mm hubcentric spacers for the rear so I can sit right
Going to get a Hondata Reflash soon, as Hondata and authorized dealer Church automotive is down the street from my house, I should be able to get same day service.
I need new tires too, I'm running 225/35/19... I'd like more stretch so I'm going 215/35/19 soon.... I'd run 205 but they don't make such a thin tire in 35 series 19"


Thanks everyone for your kind words.
Some updated pictures soon, when those spacers come in!
