Cant decide: TSX retrofit vs Lowering

[CB7 R3ason]

I still am deciding on what to do to my car next and im faced with these two TSX retrofits or lowering the car??? my car is on stock suspension and i want to lower it but i would really like to retrofit my headlights... any advice

[MikeW]

Do one, save up, then do the other...?

[tommi]

suspension would be the smarter decision. that suspension is old and tired and needs attention. yeh doing a retrofit will make your car safer but i would question your suspension in the case of a emergency.

lower it man

[DarkHusk11]

how do you do a retrofit is there a diy

[Noridetoolow]

Lowering your car will most likely give you the most satisfying mod for now. Its something that you will love every time you walk out to your car, front, rear, side...the "look" will always make you happy...the headlight mod....what ever that is will not be near as noticeable to you after the newness of it wears off, most people will never notice it and its not something that will impact the entire look of the car like a drop will.

Well Said I agree

[crazymikey]

It's crazy how just a drop and wheels make an otherwise stock car look totally different.

What would you lower it on? Lowering is the more expensive option, and it's really not safe to halfass it. If you can't afford to lower your car safely, and you absolutely MUST modify your car ASAP, then I say do the retrofit.

The 3 things I love about my car are my H22, my suspension, and my retrofit. Oh, and my paintjob. That's all I really need... just those 4 things.

Trust me im going the safe route not halfass looking at koni str.t shocks and either h&r skunk2 neuspeed lowering springs (not looking for a big drop maybe 1.75 or 1.5) but i think retrofit would be a challenge for me looks very complicated but i want to do it dads s2k has a nice cut off and i want it....

[deevergote]

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.

Function over form man...

[quaidum]

i do a lot of night time driving and i would benefit more from a retrofit plus i have done one and the function of a proper retrofit over weights the form ten fold especially if they are bi xenon
