The supplier also lists the kit for the Acura TSX and for the European, Japanese and Australian versions of the same car. Ride height is adjustable, with a drop of roughly 1 to 3 inches below the factory height. Easy Life Markets sells the kit complete with two spanner wrenches for setting it up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA coilover replaces the factory shock and spring at each corner with a single unit that has a threaded body. Winding the spring seat up or down the thread changes how high the car sits. That is the whole appeal: you choose the ride height instead of accepting a fixed drop from a set of lowering springs, and you can change it again later.

Accord EX, EX-L and LX-S trims and the TSX sedan and Sport Wagon have strut tower bar mounting points. Accord LX, SE and LX-P trims have the reserved factory mounting points. Look at the top of your own strut towers and compare them with the top mounts in the photos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo confirm the kit suits your car, find the chassis code on your VIN plate or registration papers and match it against the list.

You will get less body roll, sharper turn-in and less dive under braking. You will also feel more of the road surface. The supplier describes the twin-tube dampers as tuned for a comfortable ride on the street, which fits a daily driver that is lowered for looks and handling. It is not a track-only setup, and it is not the right kit if you want the car to ride like stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSetting Up and Installing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasure and write down the ride height at all four corners before you start, from the wheel centre to the arch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet left and right to the same thread length off the car, then fine-tune once the car is back on its wheels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet the spring preload within the 7–10 mm the supplier advises, and lock the collars firmly against each other with the two wrenches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTransfer brake hose and sensor wire brackets carefully, and make sure nothing is stretched at full droop or full steering lock.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTorque every fastener to the service manual figure with the suspension at ride height.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDrive a short distance, let the springs settle, re-check the heights and collars, then have a full four-wheel alignment done.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuspension is safety-critical and lowering a car changes its geometry.
