Finally posting my 06 TSX with PICS!

I drive a 2006 CGP Acura TSX 6mt Non-Navi and LOVING IT. Here are a few pictures of the ride...ENJOY

Mods so far: Mugen Ventilated Visors, Tanabe DF210 springs, Greddy Counterweighted Shift Knob.

Future Mods: Koni Yellow Shocks, Ingalls Rear Camber Kit, Comtech RSB, Hondata Reflash, HID H11 Foglights with Yellow Tint, WORK VS-X (Silver or gunmetal, now sure) 18, 06 A-Spec Kit

Question: Regarding the grill...any ideas on how much it'll cost to paint an unpainted 06 Mugen Grill?

Tanabe,,,

Yes, the Tanabes give the car a Nice Stance,,,was that all it took(The Springs)for the lowered look,did you have to modify anything else? Any fender to wheel rubbin with the DF210's,,,bought a set of the Tanabe NF210's which lower the car 1.5"F/B,,, The car was just meant to be lowered,ya know,,,,,,,, Thanks, Rob

Thanks for the responses people, MUCH APPRECIATED! I have a question though, if i pair my Tanabes with the Koni Yellow Shocks will it be compatible? I ask this question because most of the setups with the koni yellows are paired w/ the Neuspeed or Eiback springs. Can it be possible that i might have a problem w/ the tanabes and the konis? Anyway, it would be greatly appreciated if one of you guys can answer the question i just posted. I'm debating whether i should keep my setup and upgrade to koni shocks or go the other route, COILOVERS. Before i bought the springs i was considering going with the Tein Basics or the Tanabe Sustec Pro II. What do you guys think? Keep my current setup or upgrade to a full on coilover system.

in response to you guys: yeah, i dig the stance that my car has w/ the springs. To be honest, the ride quality isn't THAT bad. However, i do need some aftermarket shocks. It is a bit bounce but nothing to serious. As far as driving on smooth roads it rides cool but once i hit small bumps the ride definitely suffers. Anyway, it would be greatly appreciated if one of you guys can answer the question i just posted.

H&R Sport Springs with Koni Yellows is the classic and best combo on this earth.

But I dont see why there should be a problem with the Tanabe springs since its a progressive spring design like the H&Rs.

I think you should just get the konis. You will never really adjust the coilovers more then once for most people. So its not really worth it and you like the height. However, Tanabe Sustec type II is cheap price and well worth it. And seems to be the best balance to get the stock sweet ride or so this forum has been saying. I remember the first person with the Sustec type II's.

Either way you cant lose man except in CASH you paid for the springs if you decided to switch out.

My problem right now is i'm debating whether to go to coilovers. I know i already have the springs installed in my car but from what i hear coilovers are the best option. I was thinking about getting basics or maybe even the Super Streets due to their dampening adjustability.
