6ga coilovers on 04 tsx.

[20-CG5-01]

Hello, so some of you may know that I'm selling my accord and taking over my brothers tsx. Car is paid off already, so all I need is to pay insurance and I'm good to go.

I'm planning to return my car back to stock and I thought it would be better since I'm the owner of the Koni yellows, I want to still have my warrenty. I know that the 6ga coilover fits 2ed gen TL and 1st gen cl with no mods but to fit 7ga we need to replace the top hats. Since 7ga suspensions will fit 3rd gen TL and 1st gen tsx would all i need to do is replace the top hats for it to fit correctly?

I searched and found out Justin said those are the interchangeable parts for the accords. But I just don't want to run into fitting issues when the cars suspension is disassembled. thanks

Edit: yes I know the spring rates may be lower if its goes on the tsx, but its already pretty stiff on my accord so I have no worries. And ill search their car weight when I get access to a CPU Hah.

Since the 7GA and the TSX have interchangeable parts, you may be able to solve the issue with just tophats, but I honestly haven't read much about taking 6GA parts to put on a TSX.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably research more on it on acurazine and v6p. Sorry I decided to keep the suspensions hah, woulda sold em to you if I was taking over the 05 civic instead.

Upgrade. Enjoy the new ride.

All that suspension compatibility stuff is a mess and I've never heard a clear answer to this day. If it were me I'd just sell the 6GA suspension and buy what was made for the car, especially since you have no other expenses with it. Koni has a big 20%-30% off sale every spring btw.

Tsx coils fit 6gens but you have to use 6gen top hats and i think spacers for the bottom in the rear.

Thanks, the tsx even though its 5sp AT, its way funner to drive compared to the accord. Even though I'm a proud owner of some Koni I think I would go with some ff 2.5 or some ksports something that's a full coilover, but Koni will always be myfirst choice of i wanted to get shocks and sleeves. I just don't want to spend 900+ for some Koni and gc sleeves again hah.

I think we got it the other way around Hah. 6ga on tsx, but thanks for the input. Where did you get tgis info from? You have to use spacers for tsx to 6ga does that mean it should be fine tue other way around?
