Yeah, is the ride better than if you just install comptech springs...or is the only main benifit the ability to adjust the height?

Just curious, dont know which mod would be better for the ride.

I don't know how the Comptech springs ride but the Apexi Coilovers ride pretty smooth (close to stock). The ability to adjust is a major plus especially living in the NE because of the bad winter. All I have to do is turn the tire and stick my hand in and rotate the screw inside.
If you got the $$$, then go for the coilovers. Mine cost @ $860. Because with the springs, you have to purchase shocks too. Then it will add up close to the price of the coilovers. But with the coilovers, you can adjust them and the springs you can't. Hope this helps.

I heard that the Tein's will be available end of this year/early next year. They've actually prototyped it on an Accord Coupe and will be available as part of their CS line (Comfort Series). There's a discussion about it over on SHO V6 accord forum, I'm just relaying the info here.

i dont think you have to jack it up unless you have it way low, but with 0-1 inch gap you can probaly get under there.

I think Tein is available, NOW!!! But I don't think it's the CS series, They have the NA kit for Accord and our TL. I asked the guy at the autoshow but the price is... let's just say a bit high for me...
