jschmid I know your front is on the lowest perch and the back is on the middle perch but have you tried using other perches, because with the race springs I am currently running having it on the lowest perch is much harsher than bringing it up. So far I'm leaning towards H&R sports, but I wish I could sell my setup and go with tein ss.

The front is acutally down just one perch. Mine have 5 perches. I could go down another .25" up front if I wanted.

Race springs on lowest perch...now that's pretty slammed haha.

I would go Ground Control with Koni yellows. My honest first choice would be some Tein SS with custom spring rates.

I have the H&R sports with Koni Yellows. I like it...a nice balance of handling and everyday ride quality. I keep the shocks on full soft for everday, and crank them up a bit for a drive out on the twisties.
The Koni's are also Damping adjustable, but their range is much much narrower than the Teins. I had the Neuspeed Sports, and Koni's on my 5th gen, and the Teins on my TL-S. The Teins are a better combo in my opinion, and the price difference between the 2 is very little. Toss in the EDFC Unit for the Teins which adjusts each shock electronically from inside the car, and youve got some serious fun.

I don't know what's it's like on the TL, but most everyone I know with the SS on Accords has to crank the TEINS up pretty high or it'll be too soft. A couple guys I know are ordering stiffer springs to swap out on their SS systems. But I can see how a larger range would be better.

So far the EDFC isn't compatible with Accords (at least 6th gens) but that would be fun to adjust on the fly

I love that type-S of yours btw...very clean.

i got the Ground Controls with the KYB AGX and i really don't have any complaints at all, the adjustibility of the AGX's is awesome for dampening, and the ride heighth adjustibility is great for raising it in the winter and dropping in the summer!

yea a big difference in drop, my H&R race springs were only supposed to drop 2.25 in front and 2 in back... but i got a 3.25 drop in front and 3 drop in back..... i don't think thats cool
