How much did you lower in the rear?

Bosozoku tsx wagon

I didn't measure it before it was lowered. I'm on tein coilovers. I would go with a coilovers set up. Then that way you can set it to any height you want

Heh. In that case, my I ask how much of a finger gap do you have in the rear? I'm already lowered on H&R coilovers, and I have my vehicle lowered 1.2" all around; I have just under a one finger gap in the rear, and it's been fine so far. But I also haven't tried to carry any heavy cargo yet. I'm trying to determine if I'll have to raise it about 0.1" to take into account those days where I'll carry a heavy load.

I have less than a finger gap. I'm running 235 45 18. On stocks it's tucking tire in the rear. 2 large adults in the rear is no problem

That's good to know. I have a one finger gap right now and I'm running on 225/50/17. It's tucked in with -3.0 camber right now in the rear, but I just ordered a rear camber kit to correct this and set it to about -2.0 camber, so hopefully I won't have any issues rubbing.

That's what I did. I did the lower rear arms to correct camber.

Sorry to bring up old thread. I too just recently purchased the tsx wagon and looking to lower my car. However my wife also drives the car and I don't want to get too aggressive with it. So after researching, I though about going with the spring option instead of the coilover setup. According to the Japan Yahoo site, the Accord Tourer oem suspension spring rate is approx. 5.9 kg/mm in the front and 3.2 kg/mm in the rear. I'm not sure if our tsx wagon is the same rate but I'm assuming it's the same or at least very close.

For those who don't mind taking the oem suspension apart to swap the springs out, here are some options:

Tanabe NF210 for Accord Tourer CW2. Spring rate F 6.6kg/mm, R 3.5kg/mm. Lowers the car approx 30-40mm (F), 25-35mm(R).

Tein H.Tech CW2. Spring rate F 7.1kg/mm, R 3.8kg/mm. Lowers the car approx. 20mm (F), 25mm(R)

RS*R Ti2000 CW2. Spring rate F 5.61kg/mm, R 3.4kg/mm. Lowers the car approx. 25-30mm(F), 15-20mm(R).

I may be missing some other springs but this was the top three Japan Accord tourer owners are using.
