I'm going to be installing my coilovers at the same place as you. I'll be doing alignment and balancing the same day so if i tell them to lower my ride height by approx 2.5cm they should know what to do right?

Yup, when I asked them, I said 1 inch all round and corner balanced.

Cheers mate! I'll have it installed sometime next week hopefully.

Im now looking at the Acura TSX ASPEC suspension. It now about $750 AUD and about $400 for delivery so approx $1200 landed.

Does anyone have this Honda setup ? Comments?

What else is available at about this price point? Im not interested in dumping hte car or setting it up. Just want it 20% stiff with less roll. cheers

Bilstein/Eibach combo.Few more $$$than Aspec but IMO the best allround setup for the Euro.:thumbsup:

That's installed, with a rear camber kit,alignment etc.drive in drive out.

^^ Not worth it - at least get fully adjustable suspension if you are going to spend $2000. The good thing with the A-Spec is price and the fact that it is tested and tuned by Honda specifically for the vehicle. You don't need a camber kit from my experience with this set up. It is much firmer than stock and I like the way it improved handling.

Getting a very good offer on the Tein SS from a dealer here. Do i need any extras?? Whats this pillow top business?

Can anyone using the Tein SS pls PM me so I can ask a few Q's?

It's the upper mount using a polyurethane spherical bushing instead of the stock rubber ring. If you don't buy it, you will have to swap you stock upper mountf of your shocks over to the SS. You'll need a spring compressor if you choose to do that. The pillowball mount improves steering response at the sacrifice of noise.
