EuroR CL7 Suspension on TSX CL9

Can anyone confirm for sure if CL7 coilover/damper kits will fit on the CL9?

Those coilover and/or damper kits will fit our CL9, but I am not too sure about the spring rates would be ideal for our CL9.

Correct me if I am wrong.

I have no idea on the technicalities of a suspension system. Can you please explain why spring rates would matter?

Doesn't the CL9 have a stiffer suspension anyway. I don't know if the ride height is different.

If is aftermarket, then it will fit and spring rate wont matter.

I have the TEIN Flex coilovers for the CL7 on my car. I got them instead of the TEIN Flex Coilovers which are for the TSX.

It fits with teins flex and spring rates are ok for CL9 although the car is heavier.

However, we experience the metal mounting can give it a noise as over humps etc. The tein Super street uses back the OEM's rubber mounts and this is quiet but spring rate is soft and street use. Harder springs needed for better lowering the ride.

Generally for us in Singapore, we reduce front end 1 finger to clear the tyre from top of wheel arch.

You might be better off buting an american made springs designed for the TSX.

They have different spring rates so the ride is not as harsh as the tsx TEIN Flex also on the sticker it says euro r (CL7) which equals MAD JDM AT SHOWS. took me a while longer to get them but it was worth it as they are consider a rare pice when a get judged since they make them for the tsx also. I however may order a stiffer spring rate for them so that I can track the car some over the summer. Plus I want the better handling of the stiffer springs. But once again I will order them from TEIN Japan instead of TEIN USA in cali.
