Hate to break it to everyone but I decided to pull off my Work VSXX for the rest of the year as the car season is ending up here. Weather is still nice but ready to actually put my suspension to use since I haven't been able to drive the car and only cruise. I must say, the ride quality went up going back to the stock 45 series from 30's, gained a little more power from weight reduction and mpg is on the rise again. Height is perfect and handles like a champ!
Car still looks clean and I never had the chance to see the car on stock wheels since I installed my coil overs and Works the same day to dial in the height. Got the approval for airbag suspension from the wife so next season will be a "Game Changer" lol. Ill still be active but probably not post picture of the car until I get new parts or once it's finished. See y'all around it's been a good year. Still only 5086 miles on the odometer.
Yeah I didn't have to pull them off, just want to enjoy driving it more like when i first bought it. Still love the look of stock dumped but not crushed. Grew out of that phase.
Yeah the white wheels are going hard. They are all mint too. I started that crew a few years back and they are coming up. Still missing some others too. They have looked up to me ever since I had my TSX built and now that I have moved on to something bigger and better, they love it haha. Always been the leader when cruising.
Yeah I can't wait to get bags. It was my original plan but I had to get this car ready for this years car season. It has been nice being the only 4G showing. However the wife gave me the thumbs up so I will be taking advantage of it. She is also willing to match what I throw down which she doesn't have to. Keeper!
Low miles feels great! Gonna stay low since we don't drive it much. Make's me enjoy looking and driving it after cruising in me 04 TSX on the daily haha
I wanted something more aggressive then Teins so I went with BC Racing Type BR. Always ran them and my buddy and I get a discount on them now. They allow you to pick any custom spring rates you'd like at no extra charge. I went with 12k front 8k rear. I also had them add the extreme drop kit. I got mine all for $950 with free shipping and free extreme drop kit. Dropped the price by $50 as well. Even the factory spring rates are nice for daily driving. They run $999 I believe which is right there with Teins still with free shipping.
They came with the extenders for the rear and this was the first time I've seen them in every set I've bought. They really did a great job on that. Best feature.
They ride extremely nice and smoother then stock to me. You still feel the bumps but it's not as stiff. I'm running my dampening at 8 front and 16 rear. Just tighten up the rear to 10 and it's amazing. Haven't put them to the max but they don't need it. I recommend them if you're looking for a mix between comfort, handling, and height adjustability. They drop way lower then Teins. Teins is more on the comfort side then drop and stiffness.
Couple other pluses: rebuildable in the states and they have slanted collars so they won't get stuck at a certain height if you leave it.
My brother has Tein Street Advance on his 13' Honda Fit and they ride really smooth. Just don't go as low as he'd like but he's able to make the driveway. Whatever you choose between the two are great choices.
