Cant decide: TSX retrofit vs Lowering

[CB7 R3ason]

The retrofit isn't too difficult. Two of my friends have done it, and they both did a good job.

I would stay away from Skunk2 suspension stuff, personally. That's more my own personal bias, though. I've had H&R forever, and I've always liked it. Neuspeed is pretty much the same thing.

you would personally still do the retrofit first tho wouldnt you? and its not putting the projector in its the cutting part that would give me trouble plus all the projectors on ebay look like the dont come with brackets to hold it in place...

It depends on my needs.

My H22 was my first mod, paint second, lowering 3rd, and HID projector retrofit fourth. I don't know which I would do first, honestly. The projectors are the cheapest, though... by far.

you made your point i already have the paint i have a new f22a engine so im not swapping the engine anytime soon even tho a h23 or h22 would be nice i love my rims just bought a oem spoiler needs to be painted and mounted other than that it leaves the retrofit and lowering it and i will be a happy camper

those MINI projectors you don't have to do any cutting am i right?

[CB7 R3ason]

if my memory serves me right you dont have tsx projectors you have a different projector thats not out of a honda or acura

[CB7 R3ason]

those MINI projectors you don't have to do any cutting am i right?

i think so but they are more expensive

from what i hear the h1 version does not need any cutting to fit inside the bulb socket

BUT the d2s version needs to have a bigger opening in the back of the housing to bring the projector through








see how much bigger the silver ring is than the original bulb socket

well found another pair a headlights to do the retrofit project with at the local jy 50 bucks for both of them this way i dont mess up the ones on my car next thing is the projectors hopefully i can do this

retrofit!!! lowering is expensive

*shock
*springs
* camber kit (depending how low)
*new bushings (depensing how bad yours are)
*alignment (def will need it)
* new tires (lowering your car with bad tires is just as unsafe as lowering with cut springs)

I say retrofit.
