Those of you with Comptech (or other) sport springs - what struts? Stock, Koni, other

Curious if anyone with sport springs has also switched out the stock struts.

On the last gen CL/TL if you swapped in Comptech sport springs, you were recommended to also get a set of struts (Koni yellow 5-way adjustables being popular) as the stock struts often wouldn't last long with the aftermarket springs.

Is the TSX suspension the same way where you should upgrade the struts too?

ive had neuspeed springs for 5 months with stock struts and no problems so far...but i did notice the ride is a little bouncier now, dont know if that has to do with the stock struts wearing down?

while they could indeed be weakening a bit, generally the adverse effect is that one will blow (and leak). If you find the ride bouncey that's usually just an effect of the springs.

I really want a nice set of Tein coilovers w/ EDFC but apparently right now they only make them for the Euro R Accord which is a lighter car. Hopefully Tein will release one spec'd directly for the TSX.
