Will Bilstein even make a set for the Accord/TSX?

A Koni set up is probably the best you can get for these cars in terms of track record, performance, and engineering/design.

i was told by eibach Australia that they are working on a shock for us.

I noticed konis come up on ebay so maybe i should grab them, nothing wrong with current shocks but obviously konis or blistein would be much better

Why? It really depends on the type of shock. All three are OEM suppliers to some manufacturer.

I'm sure that you can get a "touring" biased Koni, Bilstein or Eibach that is far worse than the Acura shock.

ceb how long you think stock shocks are going to last on lowered eibachs?

im sure if i got koni yellows it would be a significant update in handling plus being adjustable too.

I'm not questioning that some Koni shocks may be a better selection, but your original post implied that any Koni, Eibach or Bilstein is a better shock - and that is incorrect.

Well so far i have seen koni Yellows for our cars which will be better than stock,based on each of manufacturers website.

Also based on info i got from eibach Australia ( confirming with blistein) they will be b6 sports so imo better than stock.

But on other hand new shock is better than one traveled 20 thousand km

Koni Yellows are a performance oriented upgrade over stock, not a typical OEM replacement strut/shock.
