Review DIY - Tein Comfort Sport / CS coilovers

[alnug]

pics to start with...I have the install details on my other DIY thread about sports suspension...but there are a few extra you need when installing coilovers since they are shorter...anyway that to follow here are some pics for you:

rear strut comparison with the lowered Honda suspension

rear installed

Front comparison with the lowered Honda suspension

Hole to adjust rear dampers

HOWEVER I want to add that the Tein Key to adjust the dampers is not long enough to reach the rear dampers through the hole :shock: :? ...needed a longer 3mm allen key

How have you found these?

I specialise in Japanese cars and don't really rate Tein on Skylines & EVO's etc So just wondering what they are like on the Accord is it more bouncy?

I think feedback from members with Tein's is pretty good on the Accord, but people want different things from EVO's and Skylines than from an Accord.

Tein are very good, this particular coilover is comfort sport, and so are quite soft in spring rate, good for lowered comfort. The sport rates although will be different for the skylines and the evos, they will still be soft compared to other coilover makes. This might be what is not so ideal for the cars you mention.

So whats the ride? Is it confortable to not feel small bumps and holes? I have low car with orginal shock and h&r springs. It irritates me, that my car is jdoing little jumps all the time. If i buy coilovers from Koni,because Tein is so expensive, will i have confortable ride, with lowered car?
I didnt see that koni has coilovers for Accord sedan .03.

Yes m8 the ride is far superior to standard springs and I am taking about comfort, they also handle a lot better.

I had aspec springs fitted for a year, found these to handle great, not as good a tein cs. However, I found they were to hard and felt every rut in the road.

If you buy the tein cs you have 15 levels of damper adjustment (soft to firm) and if you add edfc controller you have the perfect setup, soft setting for wife/motorway firm for country roads.

But all this does cost!!
