• Front upper mount is camber and caster adjustable and is included with this kit
• Rear upper mount is NOT included - OEM rear upper mounts must be reused
• Damping force is fixed (non-adjustable) - damping is factory-set by Tein
• Camber adjustment is possible at the front via the included adjustable upper mount
• Lowering ranges vary by platform and body style - see Specifications section for per-model drop heights
• All fitment is FWD only - no AWD variant exists for these platforms

Features

• Height-adjustable coilover system - threaded lower collar and spring seat allow precise ride height setting within the lowering range
• Camber and caster adjustable front upper mount included - allows alignment correction when running non-stock ride heights
• Twin-tube damper construction delivers longer stroke with lower initial repulsive force compared to mono-tube designs, resulting in superior ride comfort across varied road conditions
• Fully sealed crimped damper structure - shell pipe is narrowed, oil and gas injected, and unit sealed by metal crimping for a compact and durable build
• ZT-coated threaded sleeve resists corrosion and ensures smooth, consistent height adjustment throughout the product life
• SAE9254 cold-formed springs with minimum tensile strength of 200 kgf/mm² - sag-proof and extremely resilient under sustained load
• Powder-coated spring finish is chip-resistant and corrosion-resistant in all weather conditions
• Fixed damping tuned by Tein engineers for a balanced daily-street setup - no user adjustment required or available
• Delrin spring seat washer allows the lower seat to rotate freely beneath the spring, reducing bind during height adjustment
• Ergonomic long-handled flanged adjustment wrenches included - prevent wrench slip and reduce effort during collar adjustment
• Optimized front spring rate for the heavier nose weight of V6-equipped platforms
• Manufactured in Japan to strict Tein quality control standards

Product Description

The Tein Street Basis Z (Part #GSH94-8USS2) is a height-adjustable coilover kit designed to fit the 6th generation Honda Accord (1998-2002, CG1/CG2/CG3/CG5/CG6), 2nd generation Acura CL (2000-2003, YA4), and 2nd generation Acura TL (1999-2003, UA5) - all FWD. A standout feature of this particular SBZ application is the inclusion of camber and caster adjustable front upper mounts, which are not standard on many Street Basis Z applications. These mounts allow alignment correction when the car is set at lowered ride heights, addressing the increased negative camber and altered caster that can result from lowering a stock geometry front strut suspension. This makes the GSH94-8USS2 a more complete and alignment-friendly kit than typical entry-level coilover sets at this price point.

The kit uses high spring rates - 12.0 kgf/mm (672 lb/in) front and 4.0 kgf/mm (224 lb/in) rear - with the stiff front rate designed to manage the nose-heavy weight distribution of V6-equipped platforms like the Accord V6, Acura CL, and Acura TL. Despite the firm front rate, the twin-tube damper architecture ensures sufficient stroke and controlled ride compliance at street speeds. The fixed damping is factory-calibrated by Tein to balance daily drivability with improved cornering sharpness and body motion control versus the OEM spring and damper combination. Ride height is adjusted via a threaded lower collar and ZT-coated sleeve, with lowering ranges that vary by sub-model - from as little as 0.6" to as much as 4.7" at the extreme end of the UA5 TL's front range.

The rear OEM upper mounts must be reused and are not included with this kit. All dampers are manufactured in Japan to Tein's strict quality standards using SAE9254 cold-formed springs that resist sag and corrosion over the long term. Backed by a 1-year limited warranty through authorized Tein dealers, the Street Basis Z GSH94-8USS2 is an exceptional value for owners of the CG Accord, YA4 CL, or UA5 TL who want meaningful height adjustability, a factory-matched spring-damper setup, and front alignment correction capability in a single package.
