I'm about to hit 190k in my 2005 6mt. A strut is really shot in the back, that's an excuse for a new suspension I think! I can't decide what I want to put on it, I'm not doing it for looks, I actually want just a slightly higher performance suspension but without sacrificing a lot of ride quality.

Go with stock, they got you this far! I ordered the set from Delray Acura - Online Acura Parts Store, they came with the springs attached so no compression necessary. Pretty easy DIY. Also while you have it apart, think about replacing the rear hubs, there was a lot of road noise coming from the rear and the hubs were pretty hard to turn by hand, they should spin pretty easily.

LOL, i used the same excuse. I bought TEIN Street Basis pretty cheap on ebay, but there are tons of opinions on what to get. I wanted coil-overs to lower and replace the entire strut, but others have had good things to say about Koni yellows and lowering springs. The stock ones still looked to be in good shape though.

Good luck!

Just bought mine in April. 05 AT, 135K and plenty of life. Previous owner was an older man and loves Acura. Had everything serviced at the dealership and bought it from him with new timing, water pump, starter, new suspension and bushing set all around. His son also worked at the Acura dealership and took advantage of the extended warranty and put in a brand new transmission just because at 100k before it expired. Very pleased with the car!
