TommySalami

Could you guys post pics of your drop too?

You might want to browse the Modified TSX Gallery

Here is mine, approx. 3/4" drop due to the 2004 A-spec suspension:

Audioserf

I, too, run A-Spec on my 04 6MT (although if the instructions that came with my kit are to be believed, I have an 06 6MT suspension kit). I love it. Perfect daily driver drop, year-round, IMO.

Mine Fr -1.2" Rr -1.15"

Oh well, just get a coilover. So that u can keep adjusting the height until u like it.

I've got Tein Basics, lowered about F-2 inches R-1.5 inches

waTSX

Ditto for me.

TommySalami

Nice, that's just the amount I wanna drop mine

Reach

Mine is just like rex.'s. Same coilover and height pretty much.

But, I'm going to drop this thread... into the correct place. Tires, Wheels, & Suspension here we come.

vwong

I have mine dropped approx. 2-1/4" all around on JDM spec'd TEIN FLEX.

hm... if i get the tein SS coilovers... would a 3/4" drop be too little or should i lower it some more?

ACURA TSX'D

Do you have any intention of dropping it more in the future? If you don't, i'd suggest getting the ASPEC suspension instead; you'd save more money that way.

ACURA TSX'D

Your ride looks AWESOME. Couple questions; 1. How's the ride with that suspension? It seems you're dropped pretty low. I have Tein Basics and i know the factory spec on Basics is lower than what the Comfort SPorts give you. 2. With the CS Dampers, will the longevity of the coilovers diminish if you go lower than factory specs? 3. How much were the wheels?

nj2pa2nc

no drop for me too many speed bumps to contend with. would end up scraping the bottom of the bumper like rex's car.

inkedup

Im dropped on Tein Basics, not sure exactly how much. The rear coils are all the way down and I have 2 threads left up front.

jwood_06TSX

I have the 06 aspec kit on my 5AT which is about 1"-1.2" all the way around. Due to the tires it doesn't as low as it really is.....







Rex - Had i known you had the CS dampers at the Ron Jon meet, i would have asked you for a ride man! How is that compared to Tein Basics or the Aspec if you have ever been in on of them? I was thinking up changing out to the CS eventually!

DAYTA

I'm dropped about 2"F/1.6"R on my 06, and I have to deal with speed bumps every day (live in a townhouse complex). Just hit them at an angle and you'll be fine .

jlukja

Jordan, did you see gvtsx's partout thread in BM? He has his CS for sale. Too pricey for me but, if you have the means....

jlukja

Thanks for catching that.

jwood_06TSX

Thanks Jan! I just checked but i think he is selling Tein SS and then the EDFC module for the FLEX or the CS. I didn't see the CS on there unless SS was a typo.....

jlukja

Chris had these installed on his TSX (I believe).

jwood_06TSX

Ahh....i was looking at another name that is similar to his.....thanks!! Good looking out Jan

lol, you probably would have bought the one on sale in the BM if you took a ride.
IMO, Basic is fine for track, but not for daily driver. The ride quality is lacking and it is a little noisy. A-Spec rides very good, but the ride height doesn't cut it for me - CS can ride softer or harder than this, plus the height adjustability

Tsx6363

How much would the Aspecs cost? and wouldn't the tein coilovers be better? i don't think i should drop it too much since i live in nyc... just yesterday i hit a shitty ass pothole at 3 am... no harm.. thankfully.. but A-spec over Tein-basics/SS?

man this should be a STICKY thread...very informative. guys keep the pics coming please.
I am not decided yet

SoCaliTrojan

I think coilover owners should not chime in on this thread. They can go up and down as much as they want. It'd be more useful if it was only a strut/spring thread.

Or if you want to keep coilovers in this thread, I'll take pictures of my car at various heights and then make a guestimate as to how much the drop is ;-P

tein s-tech

eyeballing it, my drop is the same as yours, except on h&r coilovers.

ACURA TSX'D

Here are some pictures of my ride lowered...

https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...light=veronica

It's on Tein Basics with a 2.1front drop and a 1.9-2.0rear drop...not sure these are just estimations. Ride is good and i stress just "good" I'm currently looking for a new suspension i'll probably be selling my coilovers sooon...

cali4tsx

A-Spec suspension

dinoc

That's too low to be an A-Spec suspension , or you got a good angle to take the picture

Tein H Tech lowered 1.2 F and .7 R

Even with side/profile pics the drop is very noticeable

once_n_a_blue_moon

i might know the answer to this but i just want to make sure i bought my tsx last month and i still have paper plates on it i already switched out the stock hid's too 8000k extronic hid's and 18" axis penta's and tein's super street but haven't put the supsension in yet cause im scared it might void the warrenty i don't know what to do did i buy everything too fast i mean if its ok to put it in and it won't void the warrenty then its going in the next day thanks

CL9K24NJ

you only void the warranty for the suspension not the whole car. If you have a problem with the suspension they won't fix it because it's not the factory suspension. You will be fine go ahead put the coilovers on.
