I'm going to purchase coilovers soon for my 2012 TSX. I'm looking at Megan, Tein, and BC Racing coilovers. I'd like a somewhat comfortable ride; just not too stiff. I'm also looking at camber kits. I'm pretty sure they make kits for the rear and they can add negative camber for more aggressive wheels. Are there any kits for the front? Or is the only way to add camber is to get coilovers with camber adjustable top mounts?

Any suggestions on coilovers and camber kits? Thanks in advance!

Camber kits are available for both the front and rear. The front ones are adjustable ball joints like this: http://throwdownperformance.com/inde...roducts_id=509

To be honest, its not necessary unless you plan to drop it more than 1.5"

If you want a comfortable ride you will want the TEIN coilovers. They are designed for the daily driver who wants a reasonable amount of lowering with a quality ride. Do you want just ride height adjustment or damping adjustment too? Damping is the softness or firmness of the valving within the shock.

I don't really need full adjustability on damping as long as it's not too stiff. I'm coming from a Mazda 3 with ST coilovers and those things were really stiff. I am concerned with height though. As long as I can get the height right around where I can tuck the top part of the tire.

Also, I'm not sure how well coilovers with adjustable top mounts for camber actually help with adding camber in the front. Should I get those or do I need the adjustable ball joints or both?

I have the tien ss coilovers. LOVE them. My wife told me that she did not want me to lower this car because she hated the ride in my old car. But I did anyway and she didn't notice. I told her shortly after and she didn't believe me. I love how you can adjust the stiffness and ride height so easily.

Im partial but I would go with the Tiens!

I would recommend the TEIN Basics. They are firmer than stock but not stiff and they offer ride height adjustment.

I'd recommend the SPC camber kit. For the front there is a ball joint kit available if you need to adjust them. There is no way to adjust by the top mounts due to the way the Acura/Honda suspension is set-up.

Here's a link to the front ball joints and camber kits : http://throwdownperformance.com/inde...9_14_35_37_356

I have BC's on my 08 Accord coupe (same exact suspension) ...love them. Megan's are extremely popular for the platform as well. Tein's are good, the only downfall that some of our customers have experienced is that the Teins do not have the same range in height adjustment as the BCs/Megan's/Ksport coilovers, so we've unfortunately had a few customers trade in their Tein's for BC's.

I swear by my tein basics. ive have them on 4 of my hondas. Not to stiff mot too soft. Just right for daily spirited driving. I have mine about a quater inch from the end of the perch and im pretty dumped.

Do these come with NEW BUMPSTOPS or do you have to use your OEM bumpstops. I know you have to use the top hats which I will buy separately. Just don't want to have to buy tophats and bumpstops if I don't have to.

Is there special acurazine pricing. Please PM me with price shipped to 89147.

Yes the TEIN coilovers come with bump stops. You can just reuse your stock top hats too.

To see the pricing just add the part to cart and put in your zip code for a shipping quote.
