No they do not. They cannot be bought for this model. They only do pillowball upper mounts for those cars with Machperson style struts.

Ok, I've gotten some responses and messages like: Once you get eight or nine guys let me know I'll send payment. In order for you to have a spot on this GB you need to send payment. The more payments we get earlier the more it will encourage others to jump in on the GB. If the GB does not go through I will refund you 100%. I'm certain it will go through so send payment with confidence to encourage others please. I cannot take verbal/written orders. The only confirmed orders are paid orders. Thanks.

No they do not. RSX's and 01-05 Civics do but that's about it for the Honda family. I think the CRV's do too and I'm not sure about the 06+ Civic but I would assume so.

For the 04+ TL they are firmer than stock, sporty, improved handling, lower center of gravity. You can adjust it two ways. You can actually adjust the lower portion of the shock but the suspension would have to be off to do this or at least unbolted or you can adjust the perches for the springs which can be done by just raising the vehicle up. PM or call me for prices on installation.

I bought these a little while ago, getting them installed in november. Just from holding/observing them, they feel/look like a quality product. Plus, they look pretty bad ass

Those are just aluminum upper hats (mounts). Those are not pillowball mounts.

K Sport does not offer pillowball upper mounts for the CL/TL. It comes with aluminum upper mounts/hats.

For the 2nd gen CL/TL and the 1st gen CL and the TSX these will replace your stock upper rubber mounts with aluminum upper mounts. The 3rd gen TL has to reuse the stock upper mounts since the 03+ Accord is being used and the top hat is different.

I would assume so. I can't see how the strut bar would interfere with the K Sports.

Keep in mind you can go +/- 2 settings on the spring rates without re-valving the shock and there is no extra charge for that.

You would have to order the spring rates that way. You cannot change spring rates later unless you want to buy new springs for the setup.

Basically, spring Rate is the amount of weight needed to compress a spring a specific amount. Springs are rated in LB/in (in metric system kg/mm). Basically it is rated to show how many pounds of weight are required to depress the spring by one inch.

So if you have 2 springs having different spring rates (one with 320 g/mm and the other with 450 g/mm), the 1st spring will compress 1 mm if you put a load of 345 grams, while the 2nd one will need a 480 gram load to compress 1 mm. Therefore, the 2nd spring is harder (stiffer) than the 1st one.

Here is another thought. the spring rate on the 2nd gen TL is 7 F/ 4 R but the 3rd gen TL is 12 F/ 6 R yet the TEIN's are not too firm. These are not soft springs but they are not ridiculously firm.

********************UPDATE************************

Ksport has informed me that the kits will now automatically be coming with softer Spring Rates of 12 F and 6 R. This means you can still have +/- 2 if you still want to make it softer of 10 F and 4 R.
