Question Bilstein shocks for TSX

I was woundering if anybody knows of any aftermarket shocks that have the same quality make and ride of Bilstein shocks because i looked on the Bilstein website and they don't make any shocks for the TSX. I really want Bilstein Shocks because my friend's Benz has them as standard equipment and they feel great as in the ride quality, it's feels so buttery smooth going up and down hills and over speed bumps and pot holes. Does anybody have any suggestions???

I don't think there are alot of options out there (well good ones anyway) for the TSX. Most people go with the Neuspeed Koni shocks. You can adjust the spring perches up to 1/2 inch up or down to get an even drop and the dampening is also adjustable. They are a little expensive but everyone has great things to say about them. I just picked up a set along with Neuspeed springs and will be installing them this Wednesday night!

Even if you install bilstein shocks you might not get the same ride quality as a Benz. They're just 2 different cars with 2 different suspension setups.

bilstein is available, but only for CL7. it's the same, but due to a heavier engine in CL9. the spring rates might not be optimal

I wanted Bilstein shocks, but when I called Bilstein they said there is no demand for them here in the states. They do make shocks for the TSX, but just not available here.

Bilstein "Abe Shokai"

Check out that link, that is Bilsten's Japan distributor which the Bilstein R&D person refered me too.


I had Bilstein's on my Integra they were AWESOME

Do they make Bilstein shocks for the Honda Euro?? If so, they should work on the TSX, I would think...........

Is the Bilstein for the CL7 height/ damping adjustable? I might swap the konis with these since I saw some subarus and Evos are equipped with these.

The CL7 Bilsteins should fit, CCColts is running JDM TEIN FLEX's for the CL7, but dont know if the dampening of the bilsteins will be correct as someone has already stated, the CL7 is lighter.
