Opinion On Mods That I Am Ordering
OK, first off, I know for sure that I'm ordering the Comptech rear sway-bar & the Eibach Pro-Kit next week. I also am going to order one of the following and would like some input from people that have these mods. Why I should order one over the other & what not.
Comptech Titanium Front Strut-Tower Brace or...
Comptech Rear Camber Correction Kit or...
Injen Cold Air Intake System.
One of the above three items will be ordered with my other two parts.

I'd say the camber kit b/c you'll definately need it. I ddon't know about the CompTech brand though, the Ingalls will do you good or the SPC which I think the CompTech's are just rebadged of.
Don't get the strut bar, get used the rear sway first.

Well, originally I was definately going to order the camber kit, but everyone (I know, I know...don't listen to "everyone") keeps trying to tell me that it's not enought drop to worry about it (my other car is lowered about 2.5" & definately needs it). I also understand that if I order the camber kit, I will need a Honda ball-joint removal tool for the installation...where can I order one of these & what's the cost of it? Thanks for the input guys, the fact that everyone so far has said to get the camber kit makes me feel better about wanting it over the other mods in the first place.

well everyone you talk to does have a pro kit on the TSX, I think every person who's put it on so far as needed it. Heck, I think someone w/ CompTech springs (1" FR) needed one too.
The Ingalls kit doesn't require using the ball joint remover.

The Comptech springs do need a camber kit. I have the hyper-expensive Honda ball-joint tool, so the SPC (Comptech) kit was not a problem.
If you do work on Hondas regularly, you will want the ball-joint tool.
