about springs

I know this been ask many times, but i can't seem to find it on the search. I want to know is what kinda of springs fit on my 99 CL 3.0. If i remember it's suppose to be the 94-97 accords rite? Cuz i'm planing on getting H&Rs with the .75 drop. Don't want to drop it too much. Do u think the .75 inch drop would be like an 1inch drop??

That much of a drop is barely noticable, it will ride stiffer but will look the same. Even with the 1.3 inches from the pro kit, there is not much of a visual difference.

Why even lower your car if you only want the .75 inch drop??? What benefit are you going to get from that? Well besides blowing away $$$$ like crazy for something that wont even be noticable? Just my .02 cent.

i have the pro kits and there is like no gap between the fender and tire. the tire almost "touches" the fender.. so mine isnt actually 1.3 inches. its like almost 2 inches

I reason i'm planning on doing it, is because my bro could get me the springs for only $100. I also kinda of measured from the ground up and took a inch off, and it does look like it would make the car look a little lower. But anywayz, do i get the 94-97 accords? My friend has the prokit, and this car is more like a 2inch drop and not 1.3, it's to low for me.

It will be lower.... it will be 1" lower....

Get it if you want but I'm saving for the springs and shocks so that I don't have to keep upgrading because I wasn't happy with something etc.

If you think it will be exactly what you want then do it. If you are not sure then you run a hign risk of being dissapointed

I have H&R springs and they dropped about 2 inches. Are you talking about the OE springs? Anyway I have the sport springs and I think they are great. The best price I found was at autodynamic.com

Yea, i'm talking about the OE one, so your sport spring is about 2 inches? aren't they suppose to be like 1.5 or something? How does the car look with 2 inch drop? too me that's too much, cause i drive people around too. THat's why i want the OE one.
