Welcome to the Forum man!!! And welcome to the disease as well. This forum will make you spend a lot of money.

From what I hear, the basics are stiffer than stock, and the Flex are more for tracking your car.

If you want a really smooth ride, I recommend the Tein CST's. I have them and they ride just as smooth as stock if not smoother. They also drop fairly low.

May till Dec. Not trying to compare. I remember reading one of your posts that you saved money as a young guy and now you can do the mods you want. I did the same. ( if I have you confused with some else, I apologize)

The CST's are $1615 off of the link in my signature. I highly recommend you go through that company, Heeltoe Auto. The guys name is Marcus, and he is the only place I have gone through to buy my parts.

You will certainly love/ hate this forum. You will love all the sick rides and ideas you get from them, but hate it when you realize how much you spend a month or year on your car

BTW, some of the sickest TSX's out there are in Hawaii. If you want some inspiration, check out the names tsxdriver and hawaiintsx. Their rides are sick

Well if you want o go low, go with Airrunner. From what I hear, you still get a comfortable ride, and can lower and lift your car as you please. Im going on air here in the future.
