has anyone driven the IS250/IS350? How do i get that suspension feel on a TSX?

So i recently drove an IS250 and it just feels sooo planted. so nice. Just the right amount of stiffness and bounce and damping. And i believe it was just the Is250 RWD version.

So.. How can i get that same feel on the TSX? Will the Neuspeed SuperCup kit with neuspeed sports come close?

so you want a more planted feel with better dampening ... probably should go with some koni shocks and a set of springs. trying contacting one of our vendors like excelerate performance or heeltoe

better springs and a higher dampening force will probably give you what you're looking for. Most aftermarket stuff does that so hit up one of the vendors and ask for a recomendation. I'm sure they'll be happy to help.

Will coilovers give you the same feeling? Like Tein CST's?

You can just get springs with a dampened strut, like Koni Yellows. Doesn't have to be a coilover, but if you do want to get a coilover that's not too "stiff" then get Function&Form coilovers or Tein SS/SS-P

^^^The IS rides more like a marshmellow compared to what the ride will be like on a set of Super Streets from Teins... even on the softest settings. The closest thing to the current IS suspension "feel" in Tein's lineup is the CSTs.

The Tein CST's are a nice way to go if you want a smooth ride. They feel just as soft if not softer than the stock ride of the TSX.

get the function and form type II

U will be more than happy

Spring rate are pretty set for daily driving and the dampers are fully adjustable for better comfort settings.

Sat on the func. on a tsx and i love them.
