Pretty sure they are different. Atleast get one with the same engine so the engine weight will be the same.

I'm positive that the only thing wrong may be that the front may sit a little lower than normal. But you'll find out for sure in a couple of weeks. Just bought a pair of sportlines for $50, they are for 2.2/2.3 but gonna put them on my 3.0. I think it may work out since they are rated for about 2" for front and rear so if the front sits lower another .5" that'll be perfect! Oh yeah the other difference may be a different spring rate, actually would be softer. So you might experience some bounce but it will allow the tires to be stickier.

I don't know will see.

all the ones for the CL are for the accord
No one, except eibach who tested their prokit on the 3.0 CL.


Everyone just makes them for the accord and then relables them to say they fit the CL too. Most of the company's don't know that btw, so they have them just labeled for the accord only.

Jermz, I have springs for the 4 banger on my 3.0. The front end is lower then the 4 banger and isn't as stiff as it should be. But the only option you have of springs made specifically for the 3.0 are the prokit, which in my opinion are by far the best riding option we have minus the tien coilovers. It's just a shame they aren't low enough for my liking.

why? The sleeve types will have the same problem. They are still made for the 4 cyl. You could have them give you a custom spring, but you won't reall know which one is optimal.

unless they are true coilovers, but even then the weights are a little different.

I know a guy that will get it to you for $820 shipped next day. He's good and HONEST.

I also have a set of pro-kits for sale if you don't get Tein's.
