Ok, so posting here as requested as well. I don't have really any quality pics yet since I haven't removed the tire lube & had to rush inside for a meeting, this will give you an idea of the wheel/tire fitment. I was surprised there wasn't more of a tire gap. Looking at it now, I don't think there's any reason to lower it via springs or Ohlins or whatever else - as far as looks go.

Thanks! Couldn't be happier with them so far! After I send Apex the photos they want for that 10% rebate discount, I will probably put the Acura logo center caps back on.

Surprisingly no rubbing at all even under load with the oem wheels & tires in back or at full lock!
Wheels look great and tires are meaty! Did you have the OEMs in the back when the pics were taken? Looks like less wheel gap on the rears.

In the first group batch of photos, yes the oem wheels were still in the back - but the most recent photo above they were unloaded. I was very surprised with the minimal gap!

Sunny photo loaded, dusk photo unloaded.

Looks meaty good. I could see just a small drop, if you wanted to get that full flush look. Inch front and rear could be perfect.
so that set up is just a bit taller too.​

Installed the acuity shifter bushings... which is a PITA without taking the entire center console out, but possible. 😅

Are those the circular metal bushings that replace the rubber OEM ones? Ive done it before on another car and cant say it really did too much. DId you notice any improvement?

Yeah, less mushy when shifting. It also takes less effort to get into reverse. Everything is so much more crisp. Only took about an hour so I'd say it was worth it.

I'm looking forward to this. I always try to remove as little as possible also. Hahaha Any tips or did you take any pics during the process?

No pics, it's pretty hot in my garage so I try to finish asap.

Biggest tips:
- Have a tiny screwdriver if you want to take off the side pieces. There are screws that mount it to the wireless charging pad.
- Have a tiny ratchet (the bolts for the normal bushings are 10mm, but the clearance is very tight on the lower bushings).
- You'll need to use both hands to hold the bottom of the bushings in, but catch it overall with the new bolts.

Taking the sides (taking off the entire side requires removing the center console completely) off should potentially allow you to tighten the lower bushings easier, but I used my fingers to thread the bolt most of the way. I had a small Allen wrench to tighten in the end.

Lastly, remove the cup holders! It's easier to grab something if it falls like that. I think the shifter cable should be able to be pulled out of its slot to make it easier to screw in/off the driver lower bushings, but I just dealt with it.

Thanks a ton for the tips! I hate taking interior stuff off. 😆
