Is the Accord suspension the same as the CL???
i have a 97 3.0 cl. i have people tellin me that the 90-97 accord springs and shocks will fit my car. however i spoke to one person who said that it may fit but it's not a perfect fit. is this true. if so, what would you guys reccommend for shocks and springs for my car. if any of you get good deals on it too, let me know cuz i'm lookin to upgrade the suspension soon! thanks

yup casper. accord sways fit perfect, but dont mount perfectly right. the springs and shocks for an accord are the same though. so order them for 94-97 accord. same for strut bars.

I had a 90 accord and bought some progressive springs. On the box it said that it also fit 97 acura cl. Wouldn't reccomend that you get those springs but they do fit.

as far as things go with my prokits they are a little lower in the back because of my box... hehe...so thats why mine are like that...
but try using the search feature this site has like wat angelcl said...it is very helpful in finding some answers right away...just to help you out here
i dunno much about the spring rates of the accord and Cl...but the weight of the 97 accord is about the same as the 99 5 speed manual transmission CL if not very close...so should be pretty even as far as weight except the 3.0 im not too sure bout...

if the chassis for the 94-97 accord is the same as the 97-99 cl....then what about the engine? I thought the engine for the 98 accord and the engine for the 98 and 99cl were the same? Is this right? So if i'm gonna get an AEM CAI...should i get the one for the 98 accord? thanks...
