Spacers Install on 3G TL Type S
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 окт 2024
- This video shows an overview of how the car looks before, during and after the spacer install. The parts used in this video are listed below. This applies to 3G TL's which range from 2004 to 2008. Mine is a 2008 TL Type-S with the OEM 17 waffles. Many people on the forums use the same spacer sizes for the A-spec wheels. Most people use 15mm in the front and 20mm in the rear for a flush setup but I did not want to chance it since it can vary depending on how flat or round the sidewalls of your tires are.

And yes.... I will lower the car later.
On my 08 TLS I did 15MM in the front and 20MM in the rear. No rubbing in the rear.
Cool thanks. I might upgrade once I lower
Actually added another 5mm to the back and it was good. Thanks for the motivation!
What took did you use to tightened it
@@dereckgonzalez3239 to tighten the spacers I recommend a torque wrench. Once you have already tighten it by hand or with a regular socket wrench.
I punch out all hub studs n use long studs all around, way better looks without the double stud that is soo annoying!!!
Clean S
Thanks!
Savage, my smart ass running 20 in the front and 25 in the back XDDD so far no rubbing, im on shitty type 1 coilovers btw
You still alive bro?
Beautiful build! Which brakes are those? I have a type S as well ,but your rears and front are different
Thank you! It's the stock Type-S Brembo calipers with the RDX caliper covers in the rear. The drilled rotors are the only thing aftermarket.
I’m late to the party. But if I do the drm style in 20mm in the rear do I need to cut the Studs? BEAUTIFUL RIDE BTW gorgeous
@@jaee1758 I think you should be fine. Didn't have to cut anything for the front so the rears should be fine with the stock wheels. If your wheels aren't stock then I'd check to see if there is any space between the lugs on the wheel.
I like your car! Where are you from? Anywhere in the midwest? I have a very similar Type-S! How many miles are on yours it looks clean!
Haha thanks. I'm in Texas. These things are getting harder to find so I had to go out of state for it. It has 73K miles right now.
Status Kuo they sure are! Oh wow yeah this would be hard to find in Texas! I think you found the holy grail though low mile white on black TLS with the 6-speed. You should post more on the car. I have the same car but auto trans and 41k miles. Also it came with the A-Spec body kit??
@@MPowerSubie12 wow nice, thats very low miles. Just make sure you take care of the leather and dash... its known to crack and go bad.. I got it completely stock and added the a spec kit as well as a couple of carbon fiber things.
Status Kuo definitely I’m in the Midwest so dash is very good plus it’s been garaged. But yes I seen how badly then can crack which is pretty annoying. And leather seats are soft for sure luckily it was literally one old man they ever sat inside of it. I think it should fine for my ownership. I like the A-Spec kit but it’s very hard to source now plus all the install holes and hardware ain’t easy. I like it without the kit also it’s already such a bulky body car. But you entered unicorn status with all your specs! That is 1 of 1. I don’t think I’ve ever seen one like yours. What city in Texas are you in? I was just in Dallas with mine a few months ago lol. Took it on a road trip.
Definitely good to be garage kept. I have my windshield tinted with Llumar air80 and a cover craft uvs100 windshield screen to help hopefully preventing that dredded crack. I already had to deal with it on my G35 3 times and it was garage kept. The kit actually isn't hard to install, just permanent in case you don't like the look anymore but yes its harder to find now. I'm in Houston.
Have 2 sets of the same 15mm on their way. I assume since the stock type s wheels have bolt recession "holes" the spacer fit fine? Since the lug bolts stick a tad farther out then the spacer does..
Yeah mine were fine and its still working good!
Wow super clean Type S! I have an 07 Type-S 6 spd - rare! I just installed H&R sport springs with KYB shocks and the ride is now more planted. I was looking to do spacers as well. How's the handling and ride after the install?
Thanks Chris! I didn't feel much of a difference probably since its such a small change in width. The most important thing was that it didn't throw off any balance to the wheels and never felt like it was going to break on me. I've seen too many failures of cheap spacers online to even risk for a more expensive outcome if something happens. I definitely need coilovers to make the ride better.
@@statuskuogarage7462 Thank you for your reply and feedback. Yeah if you aren't lowered I guess you wouldn't feel much of a difference. I guess the best route to go like everyone else is 15mm FR and 20mm RR. Keep up the clean mods!
My friend were you buy that? I wants type s to the sames let’s me now please
I just got it from ECS tuning since they had the best prices and ships directly from the manufacturer so you know it's real.
@@statuskuogarage7462 Thanks bro
can you just slap on those same spacers you put on your fronts, to your back without removing the studs?
Yeah you can. I just like the ones with the studs better but the front was too tough for that and I didn't want to bend and cut my heat shield.
Hi which lug nut did you and what brand if you dont me asking thank you
Hey, I have the stock ones from newer Hondas (jhpusa.com/products/honda-black-lug-nut-20pc-set) in this video. Since then, I've changed to some extended ones by Gorilla (Gorilla 45138HBC-20) with the ball seat since its on stock wheels.
What socket is that
The sockets are lug sockets by Gear Wrench. It has a protective outer sleeve to protect your wheel from getting scratched. Learn more: www.amazon.com/dp/B00CT9LQSK/ref=cm_sw_em_r_mt_dp_3EDGS5QEPGY1CD8G52HB?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
What are the best brand to buy for 3g’s?
I like the H&R ones because I think the build quality is great. Tried Ichiba and some no brand ones before and didn't care for them. Since it holds your wheels, I think its worth spending more for some quality ones.
How have they held up
So far so good. H&R ones are pretty safe. I've seen some horror stories on no name brand ones especially for 15MM since the wall for the lugs to hold on to is thin.
Which lug nut did you and what brand if you dont mind asking
Those are the OEM black lugs from the newer Hondas. Here's an example of them jhpusa.com/products/honda-black-lug-nut-20pc-set
If you go with something else just make sure you get some with a "ball seat" instead of taper or tuner seat when using OEM wheels. I have changed to some Gorilla extended ball seat lugs since then.
@@statuskuogarage7462 thank you for your respond i bought the mcgard 65557bk spline drive i hope its a good quality cuz their kind of expensive
Is there any benefit to using the DRS over DRM?? Is one safer than the other?
I'm looking to do 15 front 20 rear on my car. Stock wheels and stock suspension.
I personally just like DRS better because it changes the studs so you only have one mounting point vs bolting on a spacer and then the wheels. With a brand like H&R who's reputable, it's not much of an issue as long as your torque it correctly. DRM is definitely more convenient since you don't have e to remove anything other than the wheels to install them. There is no DRS 20mm for our cars anyways.
@@statuskuogarage7462 Nice! the only torque wrench I have is a 3/8" not 1/2". Do you think that makes a difference as long as its still torqued to the right specs?
@@b3nnyb3nny It's not recommended if it's at the max setting but if it gets it to your specs then you should be good. I torqued mine to 80 ft/lbs just like the wheel torque specs and it's been fine. I checked it several days after too just to make sure
@@statuskuogarage7462 you mean of the torque wrench was maxed out at 80? Mine maxes out at 100 and planned on torquing down same as you, 80 on everything.
How’s the spacers since you install them, any wear or rattling from the studs?
It's been really good. Car drives like normal even with the extra 5mm spacer I added to the rear to make it 20mm as other viewers commented on. The most important thing is to buy high quality spacers and do it right the first time as well as torquing everything down correctly.
What the torque spec on the spacers??
@@andycasas909
I just torqued it the same as the wheels at 80ft-lbs
@@statuskuogarage7462 what exact 20 mm spacer that you used for your upgrade? Look to replicate this look
@@yooyalla112 I used these up front amzn.to/2UbBqlu and the ones you'd have to change the studs in the back. Just buy 2 of those in that link and you'd be fine
what kinda brake rotors do you have?
Its from Brake Performance. I just got the drilled version since I don't like the drilled and slotted look.
What type of brake rotors do you have?
Got it from Brake Performance. Its their drilled version.
Thanks
