“I don’t track my car, and I don’t want my suspension ‘bouncy.’”

[MrHeeltoe]

This post is prompted by a post on Acurazine I encountered online looking for a suspension kit that was not bouncy and not for the track. I was compelled after years of reading this same post to speak up and try to put the issue to bed.

Guess what, TSX, TL, and Accord drivers…you all ask for the same thing! I find an interesting irony in the hesitation to pull the trigger on a high quality suspension kit for these cars that is under $1000 and yet is not a track suspension. First of all, anything anywhere near being a track-worthy suspension is going to cost closer to $2000 than at or under $1000. Secondly, nobody really makes a race-worthy kit for these cars*. So the risk of accidentally buying a kit that is not good for the street is really very low. Tein Basic and Super Street kits, as well as kits from Function/Form (F2) are real winners, as is the Neuspeed Super Cup Kit that features Koni Shocks. Each is suited to a slightly different demographic, but HeelToe is here to consult and service you, enabling you to make the best decision possible for your specific needs and conditions.
