Congrats, but I think this forum belongs in Car Talk unless you aren't planning on posting pictures of your mods.

If this is a question: Don't do it. TSX just feels better.

that seems like a big downgrade

the tbs will fit, dunno about the springs... probably.

its a very big downgrade lol but im buying a house and it just makes sense for now. really more interested in the springs fitment

iCrap

Oh ok.

I think it will fit though. I had read about people using accord parts on tsx and tsx parts on accord.

look up the chassis codes, TSX is CU2, 09 Accord is ??? and then email the lowering springs manufacturer and ask them if the parts are interchangeable

most suspension components are interchangeable between the tsx and 8th gen accord (Coilovers, RSB, control arms, front ball joints)

how big of a hit are you gonna take financially on the trade? is it worth the significant downgrade for a big hit from tsx to accord? i understand that you're buying a house but i don't know if the trade is the best idea. have you thought about selling privately and then looking for an accord after?

Do a little research (cross reference the spring part numbers for the TSX and an 09 Accord for instance), but I agree. The 09 is one of the huge ones, right? That platform was actually used for the TL (as has always been the case), but I'm pretty sure I've read posts here that indicate that the Accord parts fit the TSX, so the reverse should be the case too.

Where does it say that he's trading one for the other?
