Default New to the site... Needing some advice..

Gentlement, and ladies,
Just recently decided that a previous site i had been a member for many years, an gone to the toilets, so i've been directed here to try it out. I've had numerous hondas/Acuras through the years. From a turbo civic, to all-motor prelude, straight laced type r, to a mildey tweeked accord (my early days in this they call "JDM"), to my current pride and joy, my 05 tsx.
So to the advise: I've had her for a couple years and I believe ive narrowed down the wheels i intend on putting on. Most likely going to do BBS RSII's in 18's. BUT, i really want to lower the ride height slightly, with out sacrificing ride/camber. You always here certain info on Tein H techs, they only lower about an inch or even the pro kit form eibach. Trying to stay-away from having to purchase a camber kit, but if i have to bite the bullet so be it.
What are you guys riding on??? Advice???

Andy

Great loook, nice brakes always seems to help out! What kind of drop your springs bring the car down?? Have any major camber issues?

I'd say go with Tein, or Eibach.

Going to be hard to come by Comptech Springs now...

That unfortunatley Im down on... Any time ive had that much negative camber ive used skunk2's kit. (which is the **** by the way, best adjustability) But i haven't notice many kits available for the tsx. Mostly ingalls kits and my understanding is that it sux.....

have you looked into getting SPC maybe? i love the skunk2 myself but, i haven't heard any negativity yet on the SPC. price wise they aren't that bad either. i know i paid like $150 a pair for the Skunk2 for my teg, and the SPC is like $200 give or take for front and rear.

Comptech Sport (ice box) intake sounds really good if you ask me. Sounds really good with the combination of ice box and Tanabe (hiper medallion) exhaust system
