Post springs & 19-z

have a 96 3.2 wit 19-z. the only tire i could use was a 235 35 19, i think it looks 2 small, so i wanna lower the car. the only drop listed for my car is 1.2 in front 1.2 in back. 2.5 tl can be dropped lower, why? can i use the sportline springs for the 2.5 on my 3.2???

same problem with my stock springs...HELL YES ne thing or ne one over 50lbs. in the back of my car and im rubbn everything. thats the main reason i want springs, so it will stop the saggn. i dont mind my fender gap, with the 19-z it looks good but yes my springs in the back suck suck suck. if i could just mack my back springs more stiff i would be ok.

i talked to the guys over at www.shox.com and they said that ground control makes a set for the 1st gen TL. you might want to give them a call. thats a 1 to 3 inch drop u can have.

I was told that Tokico made shocks by a rep from an ad from sport compact car. Plus that is what a tech at the Acura dealer recommended I get when it is time for shocks.
