I'm sure springs will fit. But no info on actual coilovers.

We have the KSPORT control Pro coilovers available for $855 not including shipping. If the springs swap over I imagine the coilovers will too.

And then you get left with purchasing coilovers from Excelerate that dont completely fit. Go out time and "money" on install more than once since they end up not fitting properly. Excelerate does their best to get the company to fork over coilovers that actually fit. End up getting coils but endlinks never fit properly and you never get a response back from either Excelerate or the manufacturer and just get shafted the endlinks you paid for.

Both companies got their money but I didnt get what I paid for.

Until I am reinbursed for what we can all agreed is the retail value of the endlinks that never fit Id have to say never buy from Excelerate or ISC because in case one company doesnt do their job the other wont be able to solve the issue. Not for lack of trying. But still, would you pay a bouncer that cant do their job properly?

13-15 ILX springs and coilovers do not properly fir the 16 ILX. I had R&D at Eibach thoroughly do research on the 2016 ILX.

The only part that swapped over with a perfect fit is Eibach Anti-Roll Kit
2013-14 ACURA ILX - ANTI-ROLL-KIT | eibach.com/america

And that is what i have so far on my 16 ILX.


On another thread i replied to.....

I have actually been speaking with Aaron from Godspeed and he mentioned to me that:

HONDA CIVIC 14-15 (SI MODEL) GODSPEED PROJECT MONORS COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT.
Honda Civic 14-15 (Si model) Godspeed Project MonoRS Coilover Suspension Kit - Civic 12-14 - Honda - Products By Car Type Provider Of Hi-Performance Suspension Products

or

HONDA CIVIC SI 2014-15 GODSPEED PROJECT MONOSS COILOVER SUSPENSION KIT
Honda Civic Si 2014-15 Godspeed Project MonoSS Coilover Suspension Kit Provider Of Hi-Performance Suspension Products


Would fit like a glove with no adjustments or modifications.

I wonder if anyone has actually tried the coilovers mentioned above on their '16 ilx for confirmation. Once i know for a fact they fit 100%, i will feel so much more comfortable purchasing and installing them.

Well Done Jon.

This is why you don't buy from vendor that does not have the product knowledge, however won't hesitate to sell you something that might not fit for your application. They are here for one purpose, YOUR MONEY!

2013-2015 lowering springs also does not sit on the strut tower correctly on the 2016 ILX. Can it fit? It really depends how to interpret it. You can make it fits, but it won't be right. Additionally, 2016 ILX has a much heavier Powertrain vs 2013-2015. What you will find is your front will be much lower than what the lowering springs will claimed if you are using 2013-2015 lowering springs on the 2016 ILX.

2013-2015 coilover will not work on the 2016 ILX.

Thanks for the clarification. I am hearing/reading so many things on '16 ILX coilovers and i just want the truth. I do not want to stultify the performance of my ILX, so i will hold off on coilovers until a notable manufacturer steps up and releases a new product for this car.

I have noticed on other threads that "Nickb" has coilovers on order for his '16 ILX; i wonder what kind ?
