Best Lift Kit?
I’ve struggled to find any information for any lift kits for 1st gen TSX, tons of stuff on lowering suspensions but I live in Colorado in the mountains where there is a lot of snow and weather changes quickly.
i cannot find any vehicle specific lift kits and only universals, so can someone tell me what all I would need to lift my suspension and what are some of the best brands from my options? I’m the type of guy who prefers oem if not too aftermarket. This is a project I plan to do later just need some more info as I’m clueless to any of it or how much it would cost vs lowering.

In seriousness, there aren't any oem kits.
What research have you done?
Tips:
-What is the length and rate of springs from a TL . The TL is a similar car, but its heavier. Maybe TL springs will raise up a TSX.
-Same question as above, but regarding a 2nd gen TSX.
-Or an RL
etc.
Have you looked into someone CNC cutting some tophat extensions to put between the spring and the tophat? The stock shocks should have enough rebound travel to accommodate a small lift.
Or look into a ground control kit with a very long Eibach spring. There are places that sell customized GC kits.
Or buy some cheapie eBay sourced coilover sleeves and use a long, soft Eibach spring of the correct diameter.
Again...the shocks should accommodate some additional height.
Its just like lifting any other car.

no no other coil springs from other model TSX or Acura models will work. They are all different in weigh and shape, i haven’t tried asking a shop that specializes in this type of thing but that is my next route.
I know lowering height will affect ware on parts and such but will highering it?
