New England Driving... Lowering + Lip Kit = bad news?
Hey guys,

Im from the Boston Area... lots of TSXs and ALL of them stock... I wanna put on a Mugen Lip Kit and lower the car a little just slightly so i dont mess up the kit and look nice and lowered. Any ideas on what springs i should get? im planning on throwing on some 18 inch asan5 rims from tsw in the spring/summer when theres no more snow and salt on the ground...

anybody have problems with their cars being lowered driving in this weather???

Also anybody with a TSX around the Boston Area? PM me, we should meet up or something!

well are you planning to get coilovers? or springs?
if its springs i might worry because you cant adjust, but even then i know people who are pretty low. you'll be fine.

so coilovers, i can adjust? so i should get those then... is there any difference in handling? how hard is it to adjust the height? do i need to take it to a shop to get it raised or lowered?

adjustable coilovers.
they arent too hard to adjust.
and you can do it yourself as long as you have a floor jack.

+1. Just DIY if you have the know how or have a friend help you. It really isn't that hard. Coilovers adjust differently depending on which ones you go with so that depends. My BC N+ are pretty easy to adjust. Just measure out a height you want to go with and match them up prior to installing them or else you'll be doing more work.
