I have a 97 3.0........My question is what's the big difference between springs and coilovers??? And which one should I get If I intend on lowering it about 1-1.5 inches? Which springs or coilover fit the 3.0 CL.. 97 or 98 accords? good price range? Thanks in advance everyone! peace!

------------------

 

Difference... one you can adjust and one you can't. Also coilovers are stiff as shit, and springs vary depending on the manufacturer and specification (race / sport).

rubber tires, windshield wipers, headlights, horn, steering wheel, BRAKE PEDAL, clutch, brake pads, driver seat, passenger seat, back seat, front windshield, rear windshield (with defroster), lumbar support, cruise control, intermitent wiper control, sun roof (tinted), engine, pistons (only 4), emergency brake handle, trunk w/ tools, spare tire

 

I go with Eibach's Pro Kit. It will drop the car about 1.3 or 1.4. I have them on my 99 3.0 with Tokico shocks and I love the ride.

 

Coil-overs, which I have, are great for northern climates, where we have to deal with snow! In the winter, raise the car back up and throw the stock wheels back on... car still looks good, and will actually go somewhere in the snow. On the other hand, springs are just that, you put them in, and your ride height is fixed. I have found the ride to be a little better with springs, but be careful with both, go too low and you'll be on your bump-stops... very harsh! If you go with coil-overs, give the Ground-Control's a shot, thats what I have... they have a cool single collar design with Eibach springs on them. The springs from the '97 accords fit... I am not sure about the '98's. Good luck to ya!

I have a 99' 2.3 CL with the eibach pro-kit and stock struts and am very happy with ride!

 

would you guys suggest replacing stock shocks? PHATCL with new pro kit how is your tire wear?

------------------

 

Could you guys really see a difference with the pro kit? Does it look a lot lower, I am wondering if I should get the sportline kit?

97 CL 2.2

 

I've got H&R Springs and KYB AGX struts. They ok, the ride is a bit harsh even though it's on it's softest setting .

I have Eibach Prokits with Tokico Premium shocks. The drop settled to about 1.5".

Acura CL 3.0, if your car has over 30,000 miles and you're planning to lower it, I suggest you get new shocks as well.

 

I was offered Eibach Sports line for $100 but wil this fit the 3.0 CL's cuz he says they are for 97 accords and 2.2 2.3 cls If they do fit is this a good deal and should i go for it!!!! thanks all

Hell yeah, that is a good deal, if they fit.
