No, I do not have them installed on my car. But, I was at my local shop and I asked what kind of coilovers he would be able to provide me. He told me KW makes some for the TSX which I was surprised since I thought they only made it for cars like BMW and such. Anyways, I got a very tempting price but I didn't confirm a purchase with him because I haven't heard any reviews of anyone on the boards having them. I did a search and I couldn't find anything. All I found was people considering to purchase them, but no personal experience with them. So, if anyone out there knows any information on these, it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks guys! By the way, I plan to use it mainly for street use and to lower my car. I do not track my car and I will prob only be using my coilovers to take street corners just a tad bit rougher! :)

In terms of quality, the KW suspensions are really nice. They are more common in german cars eg benz, bmws, VW etc. but have expanded into the japanese market.
I know someone that is hired by KW as an engineered and they actually study tein and try to improve what they do.
I hear the rides is very good and they are to be rustproof as they are stainless steel.

I met someone with a CL7 like mine, he has KW variant 1 for more than 1 year and he's very happy with the setup he say.
I also know someone else who replaced he's Audi RS4 OEM suspension with a KW variant 3 one.
Anyway I think that you can't go wrong with KW, but keep looking - I know that someone on this forum or on the other one (*********) post it pics with he's car and KW coils - you might ask him for some feedback, you need to search picture section on both forums :)

I'd also go with KW if height adjustability is what you want. Check Koni also, they lower the car for 35mm (~ 1,4 inch) and you can only set how hard the shocks are. They should be 30% cheaper also but very good.
