According to the Mugen catalog, CL7 and CL9 original rates are 5.0 kg/mm front and 3.1 kg/mm rear. I suspect the TSX are similar or within 5%. Hope this helps.

make sure you get a kit with lower spring rate in the front

well,its not so much about spring rates as it is about roll stiffness. so that is why Comptech and others have heavier sway bars for the rear. adjusting the car with a slightly nose down attitude also increases front end grip again gaining a more neutral balance AT the LIMIT.

yeah if you use thicker sways in the rear, it reduces weight transfer from left/right and hence taking away grip...

I'm still waiting for someone to track their TSX and see what it's like...

He's autoxed, but I don't think he has any suspension mods (unless you count his wheels).
