Eibach, Koni's, Comptech installed today

I Got my Eibach Pro-Kit, Koni Yellow's and Comptech rear sway bar installed today. I used the lowest perch setting on the shocks and coupled with the springs that gave me about a 2" drop. I had to order camber kits for the front and rear. I am running aproximately -2.0 camber on the rear wheels right now !!! I will put limited mileage on the car until I get the camber kit's installed and the car aligned early next week. Even without an alignment and the wild negative camber, the car is night and day to the stock TSX suspension (and boy it looks good). What a great upgrade. 18" wheels and sticky tires will finish things off next year.

The front camber kit will give me in infinite number of setup choices down the road if I so choose, the front suspension is not nearly as bad as the rears at the moment. With the 2" drop my alignment shop recommended it.

I paid about $1300 CDN for everything. I purchased my stuff through Tunerworks here in Calgary.

I actually left my invoice at Tunerworks when I picked my stuff up on Tuesday, I believe I paid about $700 for the Koni's. I will have my invoice next week when I pick up my camber kit (Ingalls). I have decided to go with the rear camber kit only, I am hopeful I can get the fronts aligned without a kit (they are nowhere near as bad as the rears). Give Rob Leech at Tunerworks a call (403-398-9833) if interested in any parts for the TSX, great prices, great Guy !! Tell him you were talking to Brady. Regards.
