Product Details

The Riaction GP1 Coilovers for the 2013-2015 Acura ILX deliver a premium, adjustable suspension upgrade built for drivers who want more from their ILX than the factory setup can offer. These Acura ILX coilovers are engineered to pair street comfort with canyon and track capability, giving you the stance, handling, and adjustability you've been chasing without compromising daily driveability.

GP1 Series Technology: The GP1 uses a digressive piston design that delivers firmer low-speed damping for flatter cornering and sharper response, while softening at higher shaft velocities to absorb bumps. If you want more control than a linear coilover without sacrificing ride quality, this is the set.

Every GP1 set features a monotube damper with 32 levels of damping adjustment, so you can tune ride quality to match the road, the weather, or your driving mood. Full-length ride-height adjustment separates preload from ride height — meaning you can drop the ILX to the height you want while preserving spring travel and shock stroke. Riaction coilovers for the 2013-2015 Acura ILX are fully rebuildable and backed by a 2-year warranty, making the GP1 a long-term suspension investment rather than a disposable upgrade.

The GT1 uses a linear piston — good low-speed control for body roll, turn-in, and weight transfer, with damping that follows a predictable curve through bumps. That balance makes it the right call for street, canyon, and occasional track days. The GP1 runs a digressive piston that sharpens low-speed response with higher initial resistance for flatter cornering, then softens at higher shaft velocities — a blow-off behavior that relieves harshness over potholes, curbs, and expansion joints. The GP1 is built for track-focused driving, autocross, and aggressive street use where you want the extra bite under load.

Short version: choose GT1 if you want the best daily-street-track balance — typically in stock and ship-ready. Choose GP1 if you want tighter response under load and don't mind the lead time on a built-to-order digressive tune.
