Suspension for a long daily driver.

^There must be some variance, I've heard both things.

I've read with the Koni yellows that you really don't want to use the bottom perch. The top perch seems preferred. Also, I can't find good specifics on perch distance, ie what the first perch sits at and what the second sits at.

I would do less reading and more thinking. It makes no sense that one perch would be preferred over another. It all depends on the drop you want, and whichever perch you use, the setup works the same way.

As for heights, I’ll see if I have measurements.

Also, you must be running some good drop, the sportlines are a 2.0" drop add in the bottom perch and you're at what? The pro-kit is a 1.5" drop. Do the spring rates differ between the two kits? or just length and powder coat?

My drop is considered to be not that aggressive compared with a lot of members on here. I am dropped around 2.25” in the front, it would be around 2.625” but I had to space my subframe for my swap. The rear is just at around 2”, as the Yellows are on their top perch in the rear.

The spring rates and length differ between Pro Kits and Sportlines. And yes, Pro Kits are black, Sportlines are red.

OP So have you decided on a spring shock combo ?

^Progress is 24mm.

Eibach is 22mm I think, and 3G TL-S is 21mm.

Also, Im not too fond of junk-yard parts or familiar with accord parts sellers what would be the best avenue for a reputable seller of tl-s bars with new poly kit?

i got mine from www.acuraoemparts.com which is an actual dealership that sells parts cheep for some reason, also you should get the front upper strut too it should cost you about 100 bucks for the pair shiped brand new never used......... heres the links

#3 is the rear sway (from an 07 TL-s MT)

#22 is the front strut ( from an 03 TL-s, couldent find it in the 07 diagram, and its the one i currently use )

Dont forget to rep ! =p

I don't know if they are still available but I've Suspension Techniques swaybars, both F&R on my sedan that go along with my Tein's. I like the ride while still having some travel. As for the sizing I would have to look at the paperwork to find out what the diameter is.

Thanks the 21 was a typo, I own this RSB lol. And when I was looking up threads on the Progress bar, I saw several people call the Eibach bar 22mm on V6P. Maybe there were two of them available or something, not sure.

Btw asking for rep is a bit like making a donation to a charity, and expecting something in return.

 

[v6indodarknight]

asking rep is LAME... u get rep cuz u know what your talking about when everyone else don't,

so if its basic knowledge and u ask for rep,

and red, yeah... its 24mm for progress, i tend to mix between 22 and 24, idk y... LOL

and for the op, who asked the question,

if your confuse, and you need to choose, just sing this song



and then what ever u point in the end of the song, is the one u should go with!!!

Another spring option would be Tanabe DF210 springs. It lowers the front 2" and the rear1.5". I have been on them for almost a year and the ride is so close to stock it's unreal. I have them on KYB GR2 on the front and stock struts rear for now. But will be changing to Koni Sports for the additional 20mm they can provide.
