Hey everyone, I finally had some time to get around to installing the Tein SA on my car and I must say I really enjoy the look of the car better now. Looks wider, sportier etc. and the ride quality is pretty damn good so far. I forgot the members name who asked me to get the before and after pics of pre/post installation but I have them.

The first two (Front, Rear) are before coils were installed. Idk why the 2nd cut off but where the cut off is is the tire. Sorry.
The second two are how it sat after installation. My buddy only sent me these so I dont have one of the rear.

-Next is how it sat once he was finished.
-Front and rear once adjusted (Yes rear was curbed when my mom drove it lol ordered a spare to replace it.)
-Before and after
-Another side shot

- Front and rear views

Thinking I'm going to order the bra for my commute on the freeway during the week and take it off if I have anything planned for weekends.

How much negative camber are you rocking back there? Its a nice touch. Glad you didn't over do it. Looks good! I am not a big wheels guy but everything compliments each other nicely. Good job!

To get the most accurate and best idea of how much the car was lowered or raised you need to measure from the center of the wheel to the edge of the fender. You will likely need an SPC rear camber kit and a good alignment tech to get your cars alignment back into specification. Misalignment will accelerate tire wear at an astronomical rate. When you do go for alignment make sure the tech knows he needs to get the car as close to the perfect specs as possible not just within the acceptable range.

Im not too sure but I can ask my buddy who put them on. It's really not that bad, hard to tell with the pics, but thank you. I plan on selling my stocks and getting a second set of wheels. Trying to decide between 19s or 20s. Thank you!

Ordering the camber kit on Wednesday (when i get paid lol) I have my alignment appointment set up for tomorrow morning, another friend of mine works there so I already told I need to get it as close as possible.

Looks good. Much better than before. And yea u need bigger wheels. I just got H&R springs for now. Once the shocks go out I'm putting coil overs. Might as well get the stock shocks some use lol

How much you get em from and from where? Do those fit the touring?

Pics dont really do it justice, wheel set up looks bigger in person but I could use that extra 1 or 2 inches to fill it out. I'd use these as my winter set up and the bigger for summer.

Yeah might as well! My dad wants to buy my stock shocks for his 04 tsx. Said he was going to look into whether they fit or not so we'll see.

Talking about the coils? or wheels?

Coils. Need to see what I have to save up for?

I got them for $640 from autoplicity. Heard you can get them for around the same price from heeltoeauto (has them for $609 right now), and raceconsultingagency. $200 for installation but that is only because I have a friend who could do them.

Also the member I mentioned in the beginning was keyun21. Just had to look at my previous post. If you see this let me know if you have questions

 

[ki11aBEE]

Thanks for the info. I wanna see what the springs do for now then I'll open up options Ina year or two.

No problem. Yeah keep your options open, you'll find the set up you want

Looking good man, I'm glad you like it. I lowered mine just 0.25" rear since we talk and ride is awesome. I'm about to put my review but don't have time. I will post some pics here of my final height.

Here is my final set up looks like. Now few things that you have to consider. The things are:
1) Wheel spec mine is 19x8.5 45ET with 245/40/19 tire size bcz it will play role considering ride height. you always wanted to do from center of the wheel...
2) Tire pressure

Here is the final set up.

Here is the front height from the ground.

here is the rear height from the ground.

Mine is getting aligned right now but when I get home I will put up another pic from the center of the wheels. Looks good man!

Sooo... what happens when you hit a bump? This has always been on my mind

My commute is over the altamont towards the bay area. If you've ever been over this you know how terrible (bumps, cracks, debris) this highway is. Drove over it 3 times already, hit a couple big bumps and nothing happened. No rubbing at all. I took a turn pretty fast when they were first installed to test and the plastic fin underneath the car rubbed just for a sec. So right now, it feels better than stock and doesnt rub.

Just got it back from being aligned. Currently at -3.5 camber in the rear so I'm in the market for a camber kit. Just want to get paid a couple times before doing so. Seen JPower and SPC a lot on hear, guessing that is the way to go? I mean I could leave it since it doesnt look too bad, but tires are expensive...

Cool thank you. Any chance you have a link to that?

Here is the link. He is most of the time out but do what I did. Ask him via contact that you are interested in and if he had any in back stock he will update the quantity for you then you will make purchase. I was lucky that he had two sets left...Good luck.

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/181542726812
