Which suspension to get

Hi Guys

I hate it when you have so many options to choose from! I want to get rid of the stock dune buggy look. Im looking around at different suspenstion packages right now... (TEIN SS. Flex or A-spec).

I want it low but not too low due to the winter months here in Pennsylvania. I want it to be low enough to be a tolerable ride but not too low that you would have to adjust the camber.

Pretty much looking for a set it and forget it setup. Any personal reccomendations?

Thanks!!!!

I just ordered some BASIC's, I'll let everyone know how they are when I install them. I'll write a review up... Be on the lookout.

I'd go with the A-spec, I have koni-yellows and Eibach prokits on my Accord and it is way stiffer then the TSX, too stiff for daily use IMO.

If I had to upgrade the suspension on the TSX I'd go Aspec, or H&R OE sport springs with some new shocks.

Sounds like you're most likely not going to mess around with the suspension too much. I would recommend Tein Basics, it will save you some money and give you height adjustability. Tein SS and Flex are more usable for those who are looking to autocross, so they can also adjust their shocks, and for a lot more money. IMO, A Spec kit does not lower the car enough, and costs way too much.

Pretty much any amt of lowering will put the rear camber out of spec. Even the minor lowering of the A-spec puts it out of spec.

The car is still safe to drive w/ more negative camber, but you may experience some increased tire wear.

I got my tanabes on my car two days ago, wish I could show pics cause I love them, they look and feel amazing. I'm out of town for a week and my poor car is sitting all alone with no one to drive it but damn, they are great!
