Mugen and Phase Racing are the only ones I know of so far. I believe Tein and JIC may have kits as well.
Does anyone here have the Mugen coilovers? I'm very interested in the ride and handling qualities.

as far as i know, there are:
Buddy club
FEELS
M&M Honda
RG
Phase Racing
TEIN
BILSTEIN(JAPAN only)
KW
H&R
and Tanabe's in developement.
as far as i know, Tein and FEEL's have the softest springs(least spring rate). H&R and KW are not damping adjustable(and phase, too?).

Can't say much about TEIN as I've had friends that had horrible experiences with the coils seizing due to corrosion.

after so many years of trying diff suspension setup on diff cars, i think this setup sounds almost perfect if it does become avalible. Gonna save up for this unless it's priced too ridiculously.

sounds almost too good to be true.

those are just adjustable shocks not coilovers. they just go with springs and allow adjustment of dampening and not height.
bilstein, koni, tokiko, kyb, h&r etc make just the shocks as well as coilovers.

Wait, adjust between drives, or with a button while at a stop light? It'd be fuckin awesome if you could have it adjust while you drive. And have the vertical stabilizer wings come out of the trunk while we're at it... and the chain gun would pop up from the hood... and yeah, make my ladyfriends hotter.

Is it something you could do while moving?
Edit: Looks like it's more for controlling damping force without adjusting the actual height of the vehicle.

I have ground controls on my TSX, they are the same part # for the new Accord. Ride is pretty decent, but definately more stiff. Got to give up something to get something. No wheelgap is AWESOME.

I plan to take some pics this weekend. All I have right now is a "sneak peak" Don't know how my pics will help you make a decision about purchasing, as I may have my car lower than you might personally like. They are adjustable, Eibach made, great overall build and quality.
I didn't buy them, they were included in the price of the car along with some other OEM extras.
Retail on them is about $400, not including installation or alignment.

It's kinda funny that your dealer insist on installing an aftermarkey product on N_Smith's TSX. I couldn't even make my dealer install a short shifter lol.
N_Smith: Did the dealer say anything about your warranty at all?

My dealer has speedshop tied in with the Service Dept where they perform modifications and warranty them as well. They are so tied in with Comptech, that when the Supercharger comes out, I just may have them install it. (My warranty goes until 2011 or 100k) hehe
I received a 1 yr/12k warranty on the coilovers themselves, just in case something goes wrong. Now if I blow a shock out, then they probably won't cover it because the car has been lowered. Is that a big deal? Nah, i'll just upgrade.

I am friends with a former Regional Manager (Now promoted to Corporate), so yes, I got a very decent deal. The guys at Valencia really are friendly, hell I can name off quite a few names there just because I talked with each of them at one point or another:
Brian Fleming
Paul Terwilleger
Kevin Comer
Jet Salas
Dealt with the dealership for 4 months from the time they tried searching for the TSX I wanted, to ordering it, to waiting and waiting and waiting, to delivery and FINALLY the SALE. They'd always have a Dr. Pepper for me when I walked in, 100% satisfied with my experience.
