#110-155 was the part number that Comptech originally spec'd for the TL, and since it also fits the TSX, Comptech was originally selling it for the TSX as well. But as it's designed for a heavier car, it doesn't drop the TSX very much. It was originally listed as a 1" drop, and pics I've seen of it installed seem to confirm it, but Comptech told me they were only getting around .75", so they came up with a new part # for the TSX, 110-160. This part number is still listed as a 1" drop, but they told me it's measuring out at 1.25" or more.
I guess it depends on what you're looking for in a spring. 110-155 will improve the handling of the car by stiffening up the ride without being harsh, and is probably the only spring on the market that won't blow the factory struts. Comptech says the 110-160 is safe too, but IMO 1.25"+ is just too much stress on the struts.
Neither of the springs is going to give you the look of a Prokit, if that's important to you.........

According to Comptech, 110-160 is the part # for the TSX. 110-155 is the part # for the 2003-2004 Accord V6 coupe. I would imagine that they have more differences to them than just a part # difference.

Just installed the comptech -160 part.
I got 1.75" drop. The look is right but maybe too firm. My ride
was already harsher from the P225/40R18's.
The height to the top of the wheel opening is 650mm from the floor.
I checked a new TSX at the acura dealer, it is 700mm, but my tires
are shorter P225/40R18 taking up 5 mm of the 50mm drop.
