I Almost Knocked Myself Out Installing Suspension on my Acura TL

[@Brock_Landers]

Oh man, I just scrapped my 2004 Acura TL with a six speed manual swap with the matching engine harness, a set of K-tuned coilovers, an Invidia single in, dual out exhaust, a billet shifter box, a 2007 TL Type-S manual ECU, Hondata FlashPro, it had a set of JNC 001s 17x8 and 17x9s +20 with 225/50/17s on it, it had an AEM 340 LPH fuel pump, a custom-built turbo kit with a Garrett GTS3582 turbo, and I spent SO much time working on it only for it to let me down many times. I worked on that thing so many times just to keep it going and it was a Reconditioned title, but I loved that car. It had 225k miles on it and it ran like a top, but the electronics let me down in the long run. I bought a newer BMW instead. I just bought a set of 18x9.5 M3 rims for it.

This thing is going to be such a good daily, can’t wait to see more. Glad you didn’t get too hurt

[@GSMMW]

You know you are a Florida boy when you have Pub sub in your intro... Welcome to BodeVison.

[@BodeVision]

Lol that chicken tender sub is food of Florida

[@Wayne_Smith]

I really liked this generation. Getting rid of the moldings and giving it the BodePaint is going to make it look sweet. I like the wheels, stance, it's a car with big reflective facets.

[@bazilwreckerloughead]

Love this stile of build, seeing what SHOULD be done to a daily...might steel some ideas for mine!

[@theoriginalwallace]

Lesson learned, dude. Been there too! Looking good & looking forward to see it in paint. Cheers. Leigh.

[@larryhall6416]

Glad you didn't break your jaw. Can't wait to see your color scheme

[@brentthomas712]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 bro. I thought it would have definitely rubbed. Looks great

[@aaronle-garcia3891]

thumbnail had me hype to see more low car content

[@01FozzyS]

Good call on the spacers!

[@JuanCarlos-gt8lj]

Live in florida and loving what you doing with it I got 2 of them 05 base and 07 typeS looking forward to when it's finished

[@Nico_335i_DCT]

Nice setup Adam. I love BC suspensions! The car looks a whole lot better. Regards Nico.

[@GingerKidCustoms]

"I might have a fat lip" - ××Sum41 intensifies×× haha. Glad you touched on the sway bar tension thing. Sucks it's from the car giving you a cheap shot lol. The spacers helped it ALOT. Makes the wheels look alot better now. I can see your vision. Oem+

[@stevec5657]

Glad you're ok. Now speaking of sway bars, upgrading the front and rear bars will compliment those coilovers and make that ride handle really sweet.

[@StaredownGames]

Spacers done right! Looks good!

[@mikegarbrandt]

Wheels are so sick! Always liked them car looks great.

[@KyushaStyleTuning]

Ouch! 🤕 Ride hide looks good. 👍🛠

Attack of the sway bars!!!!

[@willmatic84]

Looking good Adam 👍 I like those rims better than the ones you had when you got the acura #bodesqaud #projecttl #milestoneto100k

Once i saw you do the other side and not disconnect the end link i already knew what the title was about 😂😂

[@howardbaker6766]

[@shanewright6958]

Looking good 👍👍

[@mechanicalintentions5431]

OEM Plus. Looks good 👍🏼

[@BodeVision]

Yes! The more I’m putting the car together the more excited I’m getting for it

[@Brock_Landers]

Btw, my 04 TL was the gray color with the same black interior. I paid $600 for it, the auto trans crapped the bed, so I manual swapped it because I had everything to do it, and I scrapped it in the end.

[@carsonk3]

Hope your all good

[@mastercricket7626]

Rad bro its come along nice , should look fire af when u finished my brotha ... and yeah I wanna get a set of bc extreme low's for my forged boosted miata (its on maxpeedingrods now and not the best ride) but I always like to see some nice flush fitment brotha 😎 peace n love fam keep it rad stay safe and build on... l8z

BenPack needs to hook Adam up with some easy jack and also some other stuff.

[@Javierdos501]

Hell yea b careful gEE

[@No_Transitory]

I just bought a 2006 Acura TL Base... original owner had 20in rims... bend and tore up both front fenders. Not sure what suspension he has on it but i swapped the 20in rims (which had 3 different tire sizes between the 4 rims) but now ive got 4 matching tire sizes on 4 18in rims. Looking to get some good coilovers... did you end up using the camber plate adjuster on the front or purchase an aftermarket? I got the high camber kit for the rear (didnt get the toe camber kit for the rear yet) debating on which coilover to get too. Looking at the Tein Street Flex Coilovers. Ill need new fender for sure since the previous owner murdered the current ones :( but for 1200, it came with a solid motor and almost brand new transmission which my buddy pulled and was impressed (although he still thinks i should of gotten a pick up truck... good ol Florida boys) lol cant wait to see the finished product of your car!

[@trucavalier]

TL standard is 235-45-17

[@hectormateo6515]

The wheels are still sitting in because the original sise tire that goes on the waffle wheels are 235/45/17 💪💪☕☕😎😎

[@mikeybear716]

Dude no way the same thing happened to me the rotor popped up and hit me in the chin and chipped my tooth doing the same thing on my old TL. It's still chipped from 8 years ago 😅

[@smokey91820]

Least you didn't need to replace that broken stud on the passenger side haha

[@georgepetro9406]

What rear bottom bracket are they

[@Batteryhalf]

Would it be possible for you to make these and sell them for about 180 or 200 ? Just asking😅

[@Agus.randoms]

🤯

[@romeosantoyo6007]

You gonna have two dailys the civic and the TL

[@BodeVision]

The civic will be for sale once the TL is done

[@StaredownGames]

@@BodeVision ooooh, you throw it on Marketplace? I really wanna see what people offer you in FL. "I ain't got the whole money, but, uh, I got this IGUANA bro and a guitar I made out of a old pallet!" lol If you know, you know.

[@BodeVision]

Lmao yeah man. Offering a pair of J’s, xbox, and a crispy $20.00

[@CiscoDA9RS]

Please tell me your gonna put a A-Spec kit on it before paint?!

[@BodeVision]

I’ve been looking for a kit. But it’s just so expensive for what it is

[@shanethompson7543]

[@luistroll22]

I almost lost a tooth like this when I installed my rear coilovers on my speed 3

Lol sway bar warning! I’ve installed suspension 100’s of times but not on car with sway bars

[@loganboyer8816]

Never heard of anyone running wider tires in the rear of a front wheel drive car lol.

[@BodeVision]

Beats me lol. That’s why they’re all the same size now

[@JohnWD40TC02]

The stance of the TL looks so much better with the new suspension and spacers, this is how the car should have been out of the factory. You were lucky you didn't loose some teeth or worse Adam but I'm pleased you are ok👍John UK.

[@AveB75]

Price break down? Cause friend got the exact one with the same problems like paint

[@BodeVision]

$550 in wheels and tires $80 spacers $1,500 in paint supplies

[@trinile27]

@@BodeVision were u get the spacers frm I have 04 with a spec 18 but I cut the springs

[@jayred1827]

hi! how r the BC’s holding up so far? planning to get them soon

[@BodeVision]

They are perfect for the car. It keeps a lot of the driving feeling great. It’s not to stiff. It’s perfect for what the car is. I drive it every day with my kid and it’s a great choice for suspension

[@jayred1827]

@@BodeVision good to hear! appreciate it. last question, did u get the BR series or the extreme low kit? confused which one to get

Hi, please need your help/advice on a personal projet, how can we reach you ?

Go lower brotha lol jk looks dope it’s gonna look clean once your done

[@4BillC]

Wheel spacers... Unless you have flat lug nuts you really don't need hub centric anything. Very minimal contact is made with the center bore of your rim. It is nice to have hub centric whatever simply because it makes putting your wheels on easier but is by no means necessary.

[@NTLOENUF]

Disappointed you didnt show it actually dumped like in the thumbnail.
