theres been alot of debate over the tein basics over in the eg/ suspension forum, basically it's come down to the teins being not worth the money. either get the higher level teins, or something else. why not a gc/ koni adjustable setup?

I don't believe APEXi makes coilovers for the 6th gen. Only the 5th (b/k that was the last year of JDM/USDM being the same bodystyle).

Apex did make WS coilovers for the 6th gen accord. Quite a few people on V6p.net have them.

It seems as though you already bought coilovers, but just for reference. If you're considering the Tein Basic coilovers, you might as well save a little bit more and buy the Tein SS coilovers. The SS version has the ability to adjust the dampening force as well as the ride height. The Basics only allow you to change the height.

it seems there's a bunch of bogus APEXi coil-over sets being sold on ebay:

they never EVER made them for Eclipse or Is300 that i'm aware of.
