Whats up from Socal 310

[TRDsuperSIX]

Hey whats up stance nation forum! New to the boards but read the blog daily.
Thought I'd intro myself. I haven't registered until now cause my fitment wasn't really that great. Now I feel my new wheels have earned me a bit more "legitness"



Just had these delivered a couple of days ago

Anyone else notice CCW uses ARP bolts to hold their wheels together? Thought it was sort of neat.

Only 2 pictured of my LM5s because UPS left one at their distribution center. Damnit. Oh well, the fourth was delivered the day after I took this pic.



First I threw on the LM5 to have a look. These were intended for my Solara but I thought I'd slap em on my TSX for kicks. In these pics, camber has not been corrected.

So for anyone wondering the LM5s are 18x8.5 + 29 Front and 18x9 +20 Rear. Tires are 205/40/18 front and 215/40/18 Rear


And now the LM20s
These pics were taken shortly after my alignment.

My front camber is -3 Degree my rear is -5.2, I still scrape pretty hard on the rear, and my fender is rolled on all four. I've also got all my bumper tabs hammered damn near flat against the bumper.

Damn.. my car is pretty dirty. And brand new tires look pretty dirty too, since they aren't all shined up.



Took some pics when I got home that night, too

So now I'm stuck with a dilemma...
I want to go lower, but my Tein basics are maxed out so I'd like to have get new coilovers. I was considering From and Function type 2 but if I go lower I'd have to dial in even more camber. Perhaps -6 degree rear and -3.5 or -4 front. For a daily driven car that seems a bit excessive.

OR

I could go air, and not worry about alignment. Problem with this, obviously, is that alignments on air never stick, since the suspension geometry is constantly moving.

What should I do, guys?

you do have a dilemma bro, i would get a lip setup for the front end and rock this ride height for a little while. although i have function and forms on my rsx and love them!! i'm probably about the same height maybe higher than you but i can still lower my car several more inches if i wanted too

[TRDsuperSIX]

I really like to get a lip kit if I got the chance but the issue with that is that I drag the front tow hook constantly when I come out of driveways, even sideways. A front lip would be gone in like 2 days if I had one lol

you have a freaking nice ride, I'll tell you that!

Thanks elvis
Don't know if you remember but a while ago I provided specs on a car you saw in VIPcar and you sent me some stickers and suggested I joined the forum
Well... my axis wheels were fail back then and it took me this long to save up for my CCWs lol.

Man that is one clean ride. What part of SoCal you from?

like the factory tow hook? i understand the fear of losing the lip, i live right next to a city where it's like massive incline to a lot of the places i go so when i go to pull in i take up the entire entrance so i don't flat out scrap the entire way, but like you know, your going to scrap some.
