those are basics. tiens are know for keeping close to factory ride but dont go very low so it depends on how low you want to go, but i recommened Megans street series or ( ez streets ) check my thread in the photography gallery and you can see the ride height

Tein SS are great but for the money + don't come with top hats , hmmm better look into Megans,Ksport or BCs. On the BCs you can actually order them with shoter sleeves.

^wow thats nice. I researched Megan's but no listing for tsx V6 specific. They have listings for 2010 but no V6, are they the same kit as th I4? I know there is a weight difference with the V6/I4..

Not sure if they fit the v6 but you can try contacting Megan and ask if it fits in the v6.

They have the Megans for the V6 Accord, which is the same as the V6 TSX.

The TEIN SS are a great daily driver setup and the Basics and SS are the same in terms of ride height. But if you want a fully threaded coilover like the BC or Megan check out our XLR8 ISC coilovers.

Great! Liking the reviews, how much for a set? For a 2010 tsx v6?

That is not necessarily a bad thing. With Teins, you reuse the stock rubber upper mounts, which minimizes squeaks and rattles and gives a touch more sound/vibration dampening. Yes, it is more trouble to assemble and install, but for some, the benefits are worth it. Tein also generally has a pretty good customer service track record, if you need that peace of mind. Not saying the other makes don't, of course. Quality and technology wise however, in general, Tein's dampers is no better than all the other budget coils like BC, Megan, KSport, etc.

This is true. When reusing top mounts with rubber there is less direct feel with the road as opposed to an aluminum or pillowball upper mount, which is more rigid. However, TEIN's quality is far superior to Megan Racing and K Sport.
