Just curious if they've released a set SPECIFICALLY FOR THE TSX, (and with the EDFC).

I ask because I had Tein SS on my CL TypeS but the coilovers were designed for the EX V6 Accord and for whatever reason they thus didn't have proper spring rates and would bottom pretty easily (which is garbage and the last time I will ever buy coilovers not made for EXACTLY the model car I have). Fuck that platform sharing "it fits and works fine because it's the same chasis" crap - THEY AREN'T RIGHT. heh. And yes plenty of people used the same Tein SS on their CLSes and claimed they were fine but they all lived in Flatsville while I lived in Bumpytown and shit would bottom way too often. </rant>

So far the only TEINs coming out for TSX is the one from Euro R CL7, which the a TEIN type flex and it's EDFC compatible. I'm not sure if you would call it direct fit or not since CL7 weighs about couple of hundreds pounds less but there are a number of ppl who is using this setup right now. I'm also considering switching from Eibach to TEIN.

I have a set of Tein Flex for my CL7. Not sure if I wanna give it a recommendation as I have some noise issues with them. However if you don't mind the noisy pillow mounts go ahead.

The Flex suspension has a very short stroke and lowers the car by some 50mm and can be further adjusted. Needless to say the underside of my car has met the road many times but I was really going for it. The short stroke can be a cause for concern but Tein seem to be able to make their dampers cope.

The CL7 is about 1400 kg(kerb wt). what is TSX? The damper adjustment is vast from soft as stock to hard like for racing. Spring rate is about double that of stock.

Sounds like if you are from bumpy town, going too low might be bad for the car's underside. Did you hit your bump stops or the underside of the car?

bumpstops. again, here we see two similar cars, but a suspension made for the lighter one being used on the heavy one. i won't be making that mistake again. :shakehd:

I think the 6MT non-navi weighs about 3250lb

What do you mean by "noise"??? Is it bareable of you just cannot take it at all???
I'm thinking about purchasing type Flex also, but after you said that you wouldn't recommend it I'm kinda worried.
