B+G S3 Coilovers Installed!
just installed the B+G S3 coilovers two weeks ago and i just want to let you guys that the Accord (94-97) / CL (1st gen) WILL fit on the 2.5TLs but with one problem....
the Accord (94-97) / CL (1st gen) struts are alot shorter than the 2.5 struts. The B+G S3 coilovers can adjust the height of your ride from 1.2" to 3.0" but since the struts are alot shorter, even raising the coilovers to the highest setting, my TL is slammed!! no clearance between the tire and well!
it's more so in the front because i guess the weight of the engine! 
... i remember ken1997/89accordmike saying about having the spring/strut being car specific. yeaaaah you guys were right!! 
lol.
... i called B+G about the problem and lucky for me they're helping me out. they're going to replace the all 4 coilovers with longer struts at NO CHARGE!! but the question is how long it's going to take because they don't have the part in stock.
i'm surprised that the ride's not bad especially being slammed to the ground!! i take my mom to work everyday and my mom didn't notice that my car was lowered and while i was driving i asked about the ride and she said she couldn't tell the difference
hehehe
Cornering got ALOT better though!! especially with the GAB strut bar on too!!

holy crap!!! i just called performance center, the site that i orderd my suspension from and they told me that the part has been discontinued!!! so for the past 2 months, ive been waiting for a part that doesnt exsits! the thing that irratates me the most is that it was still listed on their website and the transaction even went thru. on top of that, i went to their website religiously everyday to check on the status of the order and it said that it was on order from the manufacturer!!! ARGH!

Ah! GAB strut bar! Would you be up to sending it to someone who could make the rest of us 2.5ers some copies, or let us in on where you bought it (if still available).
