I don't think Bilstein makes shocks for US market TL's.

They make a set for the TSX...but I'm not sure the valving would work.

Koni makes TL shocks, though.

H&R makes a Bilstein based coilover...but you'd be lowering the car with those.

Typically, for Hondas, Koni softens up the high speed compression curve, makes it slightly digressive, and then they increase rebound curve (also digressive).

In real world terms, it means more firm, but less crashy over bumps. More of like...a solid feel with less floating. They *should* be more comfortable than the equivalent Bilstein, but will exhibit a little more roll than the equivalent Bilstein (generally).

Are you keeping stock springs?
