H&R are the same spring as neuspeeds... great quality.

they are availible for the 90-93, 96-97 accord same springs, that is what it said on the package of mine. dunno why it won't fit on 94-95.

H&R's were the same as Neuspeed years back, but haven't been for awhile. Even then, it was mostly when Neuspeed was making solely VW springs.

The 94-97 Honda Accord 4 cylinder springs will fit your CL.

I had the H&R sports (1.7F/1.5"R) on my 2.3, and I enjoyed them alot. Not too stiff, but paired with my kyb agx, it was a blast to daily drive, and didn't need a camber kit (though that may vary from car to car). It actually settles a little lower than a pro-kit (compared it to AtlCl's 2.3)

Trex - The eibach sportlines will probably suit you then, but the only way to guarantee to have the exact drop you want is with a coilover setup. Do some searches for Apexi, Tein, Ground Control, etc and you'll see what people have said about them, plus some pics.

That being said: I have some Teins on order so I'll be selling my Kyb AGX struts and my H&R sport springs. I also have a set of cheap coilover sleeves that I'd throw in for free in case you're interested. If you want to know what the H&R/KYB drop looks like on 18s, here's a pic of my car before I put the coilover sleeves on...

lol hell nah - i'd hate to have mud and dirt spray up on my white car everytime it rains. I think in the spring I'll paint the mudflaps tafetta white (or as close to it as possible) and see what that looks like. Search for some mudflap threads, alot of people regret taking them off - so yeah, i'm a wuss
