and i also found some wheels they are  Auto Couture Supremes their 19x10 in the front with an offset of +10 and 19x12 in the rear with an offset of +4 am wondering what will i need to make them fit and where can i find camber kits as well thanks for your help guys i need it

congrats on the purchase! she looks like a beauty! what part of NYC are you from? i'll be more than happy to share what i have learned. those offsets and sizing are very aggressive if you can make it work you will definitely need heavy body work. this i know. come to the next meet in ny and we can chat.

[COLOR=#dbdbdb][FONT=Verdana]Good luck on your build.[/FONT][/COLOR]

i like the garage answer

+1 on kits.. Make sure joo got loot. Sh*ts expensive!

Oh snap!!!!! Welcome good man!

the RL is a great Underdog vip car!

Leon Hardiritts are gonna beat you in the head, but they're great looking wheels. There's a few suspension options. UAS is definitely one, but you can go with AirRunner or something else...

I've not dealt with the "importers" yet, but Autofashion and MemoryFab should be able to get you right.

Pay attention to some of the Offsets FirstGen GS300/Aristo guys use...you can get very close to their offsets if you roll your fenders well.

love the chassis, id choose this over a ls400 anyday.  however, you needa realize that "vip" should be more than just, "hey who makes a kit for my car so that i can slap it on and call it a day?"  good luck with the build tho, hope it comes out really clean!

O yeah I know don't worry this hobby is so out of my range lmao .....  Because am coming from the honda drag scene. And the parts vip use their in japan website in japanese letters lol so its hard for to figure out stuff and. I actually want make this build finish and do it right not like my civic which was build. Half ass lol

Nice ride man, and if you want to do it right I suggest you take your time. Decide what it is you want to accomplish with your build and then map it out. Partition it to wjere you can do it in a nice comfortable manner to your wallet so you do it right the first time around, don't make the mistakes a lot of us made before which was to rush in to our wheel choices and kits and suspensions.... take your time, this isn't a race anymore.. hahahahaha good luck with the build, i'll be following closely! :biggthumpup:

Thanks a lot for the advice ...  Am gonna end up doing coilovers . Am thinking of using acura legend coilover from ksport since their and everyone be using them. Will I only need the front forks and nothing for the back .?

It should all bolt up in the rear.  You will need the Legend front forks and the RL upper mounts.  I haven't found anyone that has used them on the RL yet so let me know how they ride.  I am curious.

Thanks for the help where can I get cmaber kit?

coilovers, i will be impressed to see how agressive of a stance and fitment you can get with coils on a daily driver on this ride. good luck and btw this is not a race as siknlow said do it right theres not too many of this car here w/ this style

[QUOTE=civiceg94;273423]Thanks for the help where can I get cmaber kit?[/QUOTE]

SPC makes bolt on camber kits.  The rear kit will have to be modified if you plan to run a decent amount of camber though.  I could only get 3 degrees out of it.  It's more for correcting negative than going more negative.

That right there is a smart man! :biggthumpup:
:slap:I know you fellow RL guys do better homework than that huh? Man, Ingalls and SPC make camber kits for the RL. As far as I've heard...K-sports do work. I little more involved up front to get them to work but they will work. Also try Tein  but you have to call them and get them to rate the springs higher for the heavier RL. And with ride quality..search for someone who has done them on a KA9. Your ride quality will also depend on what size shoes/width you plan on rockin' and the stretch on your rubbers. 
18's-19's you can compensate with adjusting your tire series. 20's depends on how low you really wanna go. I honestly can't see K-sports getting real low and I'm almost 100% positive you will not have severe camber issues with them. IMO.....Go ahead and get the front and rear camber kit initially, it'll be a somewhat safety valve if you got the man-junk to ride low. :shrug: I personally can ride eating damn there my entire top-half  35's but the roads here in La won't let me.
Its all on how "you" want your car to look man. Like someone earlier said, this ain't the tuner scene... this takes time to get exactly what you vision your car to look like. Have fun with it most of all and good luck with your build dude.

I tried the Ingalls setup and it was the complete wrong style.  It was for the 5 link rear suspension which is not what we have.  It was more similar to the Accord suspension than ours.  I even called Ingalls only for them to tell me that they were sorry and the 5 link rear style was the only thing they offered.  The SPC Kit is decent and allows for some modification if you want to use a decent amount of camber.  I haven't had any issues with the front upper ball joints that SPC sells either, They do the trick.  Apparently the rears use to have a plastic race for the ball joint and my first set had play in the ball joints from the race cracking but SPC promptly replaced them, no charge, and I am issue free so far.

Hey Ron, do you know of anyone using the Legend K Sports on the RL?

Nice to see you RL cats Residing and Presiding over Here!

B+O at your service!

Hold it down my KA9 family!

You know we gonna hold it down B.  Do Work Son! 
.........speakin on behalf of all the KA9 KINGZ 
haha:dance:

I like that we be all teh ka9 kingz yo

wait, you took out the Stock headunit? :pat: That's the sexiest part of the 04 man! That dash ONLY came in the 04s :sad:


Anyway, did you fool with the Navigation portion of the system in the trunk? I have to check my Service manual, but i think the Nav/Radio have to see each other for either to work. I'll double check.

I understand what happened here, he took out the radio. but left the navi in. then he cant start the navi. Your navi was disconnected, then it will ask for a code. you can get it from any dealer, just tell them the serial number. For some reason i believe everything must be in play (radio/nav) to work. Anyone care to chime in?

Did you part it out?

It ask for the code but the navi is not functional nothing works the buttons even trying to put a code in nothing response basiclly. Before me doing any aftermarket the orginal navi on the car started failing. I brought it to the dealer and they said the system is failing and were going to charge me 4 grand lmao so what I did was I bought a used system . So what I think it was if I cut a wrong wire but all we did was use the speakers wire from the car, power, accesory and that's basiclly it I think we didn't even touch thenavi wires

Pretty positive you are correct Max, Navi won't work without the head unit.

Absolutely correct guys. It has a internal function that has to read the that the radio is connected.  The navi unit & (brain) in the trunk is not a operatable self sufficient unit. The code must be entered on the stock radio itself. 
Sorry to hear you having troubles.....IMO I do agree that the dash/console in the  
'04 is super sweet. Wish I had an '04....
Good Luck!

Great my kind of luck maann!!

so i ended up putting my stock radio back because the navi needs to communicate with the radio so it could work. so am wondering how can i connect a ipod to the radio with a fm transmitter or the cassette adaptor

I would use the rf modulator style before I used the cassette style adapter.  I am pretty sure that there is another option that connects behind the radio. 

Ok, maybe I was wrong.  Pac Audio has an interface but they say it will not work with the navigation radios.  You may want to give them a call to see if they have any ideas though.  Their products do the job for sure.

sorry about that i met to say not to use a fm transmitter or a cassete adaptor

i love rl's but foreal their a headache lol...

Yes I have realized. It hahaha pain in the butt. I did a little something something a while back just never had time to throw pictures and upload them . I tinted out the car. The back. 3 windows have have been 5%
 And the front 3 windows have been 20% :) I like how I feel inside just at night the light output when down :(

[QUOTE=fedsballer24;277563]i love rl's but foreal their a headache lol...[/QUOTE]

AGREED!...but ,thats what makes em' so gangsta when you over-come those headaches  to produce a badass KA9 LEGEND :biggthumpup:

i need to start posting pictures but my computer is down and am using my sis laptop. i was parked getting a hair cut one day and some stupid ass rams into my front bumper and chips the paint man now i dont know what to do if i should go ahead and start saving for the coilovers or  fix up the body of the car. this car is so boaty like lol.

Yeah, it's almost has an exclusive feel to it.  It's not a common car to modify at all and finding the parts you want to use is half of the fun honestly.  It's not a car for one looking to have a lot of parts readily available.  And the car still hasn't really been "done right" in the US yet.  Atleast that I know of.  No offense to anyone here.  :)

alright so i connected  hids in my reverse lights. but now am puzzled on how to connect a regular on and off switch. i want to turn them on whenever i want to. i connected between the fuse and relay on the hid harness and it blew the 30 amp fuse. you think cause i have 40/20 amp switch is making a difference?

[QUOTE=civiceg94;269315]and i also found some wheels they are Auto Couture Supremes their 19x10 in the front with an offset of +10 and 19x12 in the rear with an offset of +4 am wondering what will i need to make them fit and where can i find camber kits as well thanks for your help guys i need it[/QUOTE]
 
Thats pretty aggresive on the offset, the biggest i have seen so far is 19x8.5+28 in the rear or a 19x9.5 +38. I am running 20x8.5+45 and the tuck I think +35 would be pushing it a lot.
