Can anyone get this kit in the states???

Bilstein B12 Tuning Kit, it should be $1000.00 US. They make the kit for the CL9 w/k24a engine in Europe. Why can't we get it here in the states!?

B12 Tuning kit Honda-Accord-MK8 Saloon part #SE5-A733

Does anyone have this kit? Is there anyone who can get this kit for the TSX?

Searched for you, Chad. I couldn't come up with US availability. But, why not go with c/o's at that @ price? Besides; I'd get the Hondata sweetness first.

I will be getting Hondata here pretty soon and then testing out my two headers:
Weapon R race header from Marcus @ Heeltoe Auto
Skunk2 custom one off 4-1 race header
Oh I should have mentioned it, I am getting that Bilstein B12 kit.
I'm pretty excited!
There are on back-order now, but they will be doing a run the first week of August. I should have them by mid to late august and will do a full review on them.
Because the kit hasn't been blessed by the US Bilstein engineers, they don't offer it here in the states, I had to special order it from a contact I have @ Bilstein US. I'm 99.9% sure it will be great and work out rather well here in the states.

Thanks for trying to help!
I greatly appreciate it.

No, they lower the car about 30mm ( 1.2 in ), but that is the European Honda Accord. Hmmm, I wonder if the European Accord has a lower ride height than our TSX's do here in the states????
