What did Mike have to say about his Apexi coilovers? Did you ask him? Man after I saw that pic of your cars, I'm thinking about getting some. SNooK feels that they're too stiff to maintain that luxo feel in our TL's...but that slammed look is sweet!

GAB has their Revolution Stroke II's out, which are both height and ride adjustable, only slightly more expensive than the NEX's ($1000) The GAB's will run around $1200.

If you got the GAB's you could be the first with full height and ride adjustability. Even though the Apex-i's are a good shot cheaper.

Oh yeah, forgot about OBX. They have a set of fully threaded coilovers for the Accord V6, which will fit the TL I surmise, since we've had no problems thus far, and just about everyone has borrowed something for that platform.

Tann: Your center caps are silver right? Mine are gold so color is different! The ride is a little harsh but nothing major, I guess a little bit harsher than Eibach and Comptech. It's very noticeable when you go over bumps though. I would think full coilovers will be even harsher.

mchtypeS: Can you elaborate more on NEX? You got any pics of your car, love your rims! Are they chrome?

I heard good things about NEX, so go for it! Be the first one to have it! I'm thinking of getting rid of my ground control and getting NEX too!
