Question Best coilovers for the price??

just looking for some input of which coilovers to get for my '04 TSX. Money isnt an issue, i was looking at getting Megan super streets, ksports kontrol pros, function & form type 2, or tein street basis. Lookin to go as low as possible without losing ride quality.

TEIN Street Basis coilovers. Those are going to be the best bang for the buck and they have a pretty wide range of height adjustment while simultaneously maintaining ride comfort.

Function and Form, they're cheaper than the Megans in most cases and IMO a superior product. If you're looking to go super low, keep in mind the Teins wont get you there.

hey i dont know if your still looking for for a suspension for your tsx but i have tein ss suspension which is better than the basic one im selling mines. i still have it on my car right now but i kinda need the money asap cause im turning back my car in, and i have to put it back stock it works on any tsx year 04-08 its the full coilcover system so you wont be bouncing like how the springs are. im in miami i barely go on this thing so if anything text me or call me for more info my number is 305 283 7089 or my email is rajin26@netzero.com i have to return the car in 2 weeks so lmk before, i will let you give me a offer and we work from there, its complete and everything with the wretch and everything.

i have tein street basics and after 7 months, one has given out. Tein's great 1 year warentee covers just the part replacement. So i guess you have to keep your car at the machanic for 3-4 weeks until they see what's wrong and fix it. I will never buy Teins again.

I had the Megan street setup on my 09 Si and they rode pretty nice but this is an entirely different car so ... what's the verdict? I'm also trying to stay as stock as far as 'comfort' as possible

TEIN Super Streets or the XLR8 ISC coilovers with the Street/Comfort setting.

FF1 i bought them for 600 shipped. I daily drive it and live in Orlando downtown which has mad railroad tracks and pot holes. The FF1s are great ive had them for about 300 miles and they are smooth and nice and stiff. I love them. For that price you cant beat them.

You should search around. A lot of people are having problems with the FF1s.

If money is an issue, don't mod your car.

BC BRs for entry-level.

Yeah that's a fair statement.

Some people have a budget, an allowance. Unless you're living paycheck to paycheck, modding your car is always an option if it is your hobby.

I've got BC N+ and I think they're a great value and overall good product.

I have the Tein Street Basis - You won't get slammed but will give you a decent DD look, ride comfort IMO is pretty good - comparable to stock.
