I feel that my car height is ok but just a bit soft. Trying to reduce the nose dive.

If you used the Neuspeed version of the Koni, you could go down a 1/4"; I wouldn't go 1/2" on stock springs though......

3. 1300 or so from street image in baldwin park california.
I'm not sure how many inches i dropped it.. but ill eventually need to raise it once i get rims and oem kit..

Camber kits typically sell in $ 140-180 range ($70 a side x 2) and take roughly half and hour to install (per side) if you know what you are doing and are properly equipped. i.e. this is what a garage should charge. Once the kit is installed it is critical to have an alignment done, as the suspension geometry will be way out.
After you have your camber kit installed you can really enjoy the vastly improved handling of your TSX without burning a wear strip off on your rear tires. Let’s face it, they are not cheap!

I am new to the forum and after reading many posts about the Tein Basic setup I think I will be making a purchase soon. Before I do I would like to take a ride first, anybody in the Phoenix,Az area have these and would not mind giving a test ride?

I've seen the springs go anywhere from $140 to almost $200 but i'm sure you can find a good deal like i did.

Tanabe DF210 drop
Here are some picks of my retired TSX on Tanabe DF210 springs with stock shocks. I think someone was looking for pics?
I have a new 2008 PWP TSX so these same exact springs are going into that car as well.

Thanks, i forgot that I even posted on this thread. Got the coilovers in for about 2 weeks now, I love em, I think I just found the sweet spot on the dampner settings too. There's some pix and a short feedback found in my thread
https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...8&page=1&pp=25
and for those who are lazy to click; cliffs:
Buddy Club racing spec coilovers
~2.5-3" drop
dampner settings (from soft to stiff)
front - 6/15
rear 7/15
Absolutely love the drop, the car's itching for a lip kit now and some wheels, though. The ride is smoother, but i bumps are more profound.
a few pix; there's more in the link

That is a very nice drop. Ah, the joys of coilovers. I myself have had coilovers in the past, but I just find that I end up being too lazy to ever adjust them again after I install them and lower them to the height I want. haha.
I know the drop on my old black car might be a little hard to see because of the black so I will repost pics again of my new PWP TSX after I get those springs re-installed. I'll do a before lip kit and after lip kit pictures so you can also see the difference.
