Aftermarket shocks/struts

Are we going to see any aftermarket shocks/struts for our 2nd gen anytime soon?

seems like you're still worried about the S-tech's messing up your OEM shocks?

Most definitely... I just want to get it done right the first time around. As of right now, more worried about rubbing issues but it would be nice to know if will we be seeing aftermarket struts or not. Would rather get it all done at once...

I'm waiting for KONI's (at least Yellows ((SPorts)) but no app yet.

Lee Grimes at KONI is out of the office until Monday, per voicemail.

another question for you guys... rubbing is more likely to occur in the front as opposed to the rear? is there a way to tell or test rather than looking with the naked eye, perhaps, drive the car over a 2x4 and check the gap?

For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction.--Newton, IIRC.

With the front wheels turning, it would seem like there's more of a chance for rubbing, and there may be, but driveways and road transitions can/will make the rear scrub too. Notice how the rear twists up/down when the car is parked but the front wheels are turned one way or the other.

Here's the latest from the following vendors:

Tokico - Thank you for contacting Tokico Performance Shocks. Regarding your request, we unfortunately do not have plans at this time to develop parts for the new TSX... It's too new and the demand is just not there yet unfortunately. But I have logged your request, and when the demand increases, we will look into product development.

KYB - We are working on this, no release date at this time
