Brand: RSR
Model: Sports i
Price: $1800
Ride Quality: (soft like oem or much stiffer?) spring rates are on the soft side. It's perfect for the streets. Took it to a small track and performed well enough.
Fitment issues ? None
Dampening Adjustments: 0-36 clicks front full soft to hard. I run it at 12f/14r on the street. 26f/30r at the track.


I think you're the same guy that asked me on Instagram...haha

The Teins for the 2013 Accord work. Megan's, which are lower end. Some purple ones as well which I think are DC or something like that.

Id get the twins. I currently have H&R springs and they are alright, however if I had to do over Iw ould have gotten the Teins as I had Teins on my TSX and they rode well and never gave me any issues after 50000 miles, they were still like new.

RSR coils seem awesome but man I dunno if I can justify 1900 + install on a car I'm not tracking. My main goal is to lower very slightly to reduce that ridiculous front end wheel well gap and maintain as close to OEM ride quality as possible.

Thinking of just getting Eibach pro kit springs as i've had them before on another car... but that was paired with Koni FSD shocks.

D2 makes coilovers that will cost you about a G. I'm leaning towards those since I cant justify the extra 900 or so to get the RSR's. I'll just be cruising anyways

The accord coilovers are made for the 4cyl. Anyone knows if itll work on the v6 tlx? Ive heard its not ideal because of weight difference or something? teins have coilovers for the tlx but only for the 4cyl version

The ride quality is good, and adjustable so you can change it up a bit.

My issue with them is that I can only get my car to not "hop" on this certain section of highway with these coils if they are set to the hardest setting. With other coils in the past I was able to find a happy medium with this particular section of highway.

I dont regret buying them if that counts for anything.

I have the D2 coilovers and I think they are great. They arn't a coilover that you would want to do any hardcore tracking on them but they handle the I4's weight very well. ride quality is nice because it's not rattle-your-teeth-out stiff on full stiff and +6 up from full soft i find rides like stock (save for huge bumps, i mean the car is still lowered). I will probably buy them again if i decide to get the new TLX. i've had experience with almost every brand of coilover (not on the tlx but still) from ground control and koni yellows, megan,tein,PIC,BC,ksport,and the D2's have been the best daily driven coilovers i've had.

contact BC racing, they have great setups for under $1300. Fully adjustable ride height independent of dampening! Fully rebuildable too!
