Second Generation TSX Suspension Information

Second Generation TSX Suspension Information
This is a compilation that I have from my research for the CU2/CU4 folks. Not exhaustive, as these are only products that I have looked up and I also want it to cover other things as well like OEM part numbers, chassis bracing, camber/toe adjustment kits, etc. but it's a start.
I'm pasting the information I have to date below, but also have it in Word if anyone wants to add anything. I guess I'll have version control and will just provide updates in subsequent posts within the thread since we can't edit our own posts after some time, I think. Not gonna do vendors and pricing info since that changes pretty frequently, but feel free to post that in here.
Feel free to send or post any comments or additional information. Thanks.

SPC engineering makes rear camber arms.
Ultra Racing chassis braces for the 08+ accord fir the 09+ TSX. These are all already on my car been on for 12+ months. I think honda tuning did an issue on it a few months ago.
Ultra racing has a 19mm rear sway bar which fits in the stock location.
Progress has a 22 mm rear sway bar it requires drilling into the sub-frame for mounting the bigger bolts it uses.

Great list. I'm looking in buying some coilovers soon. Don't forget to include the OEM Honda Euro Sports suspension, M/T, 2.4 08W60-TL3-600A and Sports suspension, A/T 2.4 08W60-TL3-600B.
There's also the Mugen CU2 Sports Suspension.

Great info puppet master. Im sure many of our members will look at this thread when looking at lowering options. I'll write a review about my Megan EZstreet later when I have more time. They have exceeded my expectations thus far though. They ride great...better than my H&R springs for sure

I know that someone on this forum already has them, and another person has them on order from TR currently.

I wont write too much because I dont want to clutter this thread but thanks and goodjob. I didnt read all those articles yet but I read the first one and Ill read the rest when I have time.

Good reading from StopTech on brakes, technically not suspension, but brakes and wheels/tires are all so closely related and have a significant impact on handling and suspension, and vice versa.

I wish i had the budget for endless brakes.....solely because of the blue color hahaha kidding of course...ill probly end up going with wilwood brakes because they are a great price and they have good reviews

Great write up on coilovers tho, I really appreciate it...im really really looking into this and want ones that are great for track duty...dont mind so much about lowering the car...looking for maximum handling advantage

Thanks for the compilation. tons of useful info, its like a shortcut for us. thanks guys.
question tho.
if i want a subtle drop, can i use
Eibach for CU4 on a CU2 car? just so that ill get .8 drop only ???
Eibach (CU2 and CU4)
Drop CU2 – 1.0 front 1.0 rear, PN 4077.140
Drop CU4 – 0.8 front 0.8 rear, PN 4079.140

If you search, a few members have the eibach and they aren't really that low and is fairly subtle.

Konis installed on a 2G TSX, includes discussion as well as install pictures and tips. Some adjustments had to be made for certain stock components to be reused with the Koni dampers, and this thread documents that very well. There are also pictures of the car with the Konis installed with stock springs, as there is a slight reduction in ride height.

This is tremendous for myself just getting started so thank you.
So the consensus is that on wagons, springs (although currently listed as compatible from sedan to wagon by many manufacturers like Tein) will most likely not hold up in the rear over the long term and begin to sag in the bum hence all the coilover speak, correct?

Eibachs are good springs, and over time, should not droop significantly. However, one point that I failed to bring up in the other discussion is HOW are you typically using the trunk of the wagon. I don't carry heavy cargo in it, but if I did, I probably would not even consider dropping it, or I'd get coilovers and maybe only lower the rear 0.5" to allow for that.
If you don't mind, maybe we could continue this discussion in the wagon specific thread. Then again, I link them all back and forth anyway, so I guess it doesn't matter.

For those who want a comprehensive primer to handling and modifying your suspension for improved handling, here is some great reading from Mike Kojima, mainly focused on sport compacts:
Making It Stick Part 1: Four basic steps to better handling
Making It Stick Part 2: Four more steps to better handling
Making It Stick Part 3: It's all in the geometry
Making It Stick Part 4: More lessons in suspension geometry
Making It Stick Part 5: Damper fundamentals
Making It Stick Part 6: More advanced dampers

Excellent step by step of installing coils on a wagon, very similar process for a sedan:
