Personally I feel it wouldn't be worth the investment if you find the factory setup to be adequate and have no desire to improve on it. Then again that applies to any mod. You'll definitely notice the changes on the supplied map but they're not transformative where you're getting Lexus-like...

I try not to venture too deep to that side of the family. R brothers take themselves too seriously...

Crazy to me how disregarded these cars are. Even amongst other "enthusiasts" we're relatively unknown. I'm willing to bet good money that 90% of ENTHUSIASTS don't know the car exists or think it's a TLX. Honestly, it's just how I like it.

The price for carbon is steep (speaking as a whole, not just with PRL), I personally feel it's just for looks. Which is a valid reason to buy if that's what you're into.

I did this but with paint (duplicolor shadow chrome) and a spare set of Ali Express center caps. If you go this route, make sure you buy the correct ones. I bought the ones for the MDX which is the same outside diameter but the mounting diameter was way too big to fit into the center cap holes...

I run two Chicco 2-in-1 seats in the back for my 5 and 8 year olds. The 8 year old's seat has the back removed so it's essentially a booster seat now. Honestly any quality seat would be fine.

Victor with the low down! @ABPDE5 also a good time to clean and ceramic coat the new wheels while they're fresh. Then mount the sensors yourself as Vic suggested.

Yes OEM (I believe they're made by Continental?).

If it's any solace, the K Tuned is the most "solid" and mechanical of the 3 choices on the market, incrementally so. Either of the kits are a step up above stock though, in terms of overall engagement. You trade off a bit of smoothness in the process but I feel it's a worthwhile trade.

Exciting! Did Andy provide any renders?

They're very flexible on design and finishes, so if you want to tweak the design a little (or a lot), the sky's the limit! They recently released floating center caps, I'd recommend getting a "Type S" set.

These wheels, they're made to spec so you can have them built to whatever dimensions you'd like. https://www.vtforged.com/store/p172/RS-L-FORGED-MONOBLOCK-WHEELS.html#/

Very valid concerns, I initially had the similar concerns but I took the plunge anyway, because YOLO. I know our region isn't known for glass-smooth roads but overall I haven't had many issues and generally avoid steep inclines and steep parking lot entrances. I did run a 275/35 initially...

Do you plan to lower and also are you dead set on 18"? I agree with Optronix that the scrub radius concern is fairly negligible in day to day driving. FWIW if you're looking to run a square setup, 10" +40 is juuuuust about dead flush as far as the wheel goes, as is 9.5" +35. The rears *might*...

Did this resolve or have any effect on your lateral play issue?

Alright so I actually read the previous comments this time instead of sprinting through them and answered a lot of my own questions. This is going to sound dumb, but I had to reinstall the forward shifter cable 3 times on the Acuity kit. The cable kept popping out of the mounting slot, each...

Have you tried a different sweater? Are back on factory detent springs Ash? I don't remember if you swapped back, I'm wondering if that's a factor.

For reference, I'm running the Acuity 4 way at the shortest throw setting and default gate settings. The height is at 2, or slightly lower than stock. I'm on the factory detent springs and also installed the Acuity shifter bushings + the heavy Dream Teardrop. Apparently I'm wearing the same...

Sorry to hear man, I'm sure you'll be in another one soon after the dust settles. I'd keep an eye out for another TEP, they pop up every now and again!

I'm wondering if the front bumper will receive any actual changes. I imagine that would create some issues with the hopefully-to-be-released HRC parts which appears to be designed with the current bumper design in mind. Some improved headlights would be very welcome. Memory seats, reverse...
