98 acura 3.0cl coilovers or springs

Does anyone know if there is a good set of
coilovers for a 98 3.0cl. Are the Honda Accord coilovers compatible?
Or should I just get Eibach pro kit springs?


HELP!!!

Weapon-R makes coil-overs...not sure how good they are. 1994-1997 Accord parts should fit our car since the CL is based on that platform....

the prokit is good if you want good handling overall..i loved mine except for 1.5 inch drop wasnt low enough for me..i switched to ground control coilover sleeves from an accord...those are good...the rides bumpier though..and the down side is that i need new shocks right now. if simple is what you want, go for the prokit. if you want it all (looks, performance, etc.) look into a full coilover system (not the sleeve) i believe someone had apexi N1 coilovers on their CL..
hope this helps a lil

Thanks for the info..

But I think i'm going to go with a set of
springs from Intrax. They drop 1.75" all
around, I also have heard they will settle
a little more than the Eibach's. Anyone have
Intrax springs or know any more about em?

WIll Eibach Sportline springs for a 98-00 Honda Accord V6 fit on a 1998 3.0CL? How much will the drop be? Is anyone selling their Eibach Pro-kit springs. I am new here and I have already learned a lot from you guys. No one in Detroit can help me out with this stuff.

No, they won't. Only springs for 90-97 accords will fit 1st Gen CLs.

Thanks for the info. Do I have to specify 2.3 or 3.0 when I am ordering?

I haven't heard of them. It says on the page that they drop 2 1/4 inches. With these springs, you'll need new shocks and camber kits because of the big drop.

go eibach, i swear by them for life. I had VIS coilovers and HATED them. I had apex'i for a while and wish i didn't have to give them up. All in all though, i'm more then happy to be back at my eibachs.

Hey have you already bought springs? Just letting you know I have the weapon R coilovers and they are nice! Of course they are stiff. I really recomend a camber kit though.
